johny c Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Ive got what Im pretty sure is a bot ripping my stream. Its ip is 24.1.163.107 Its info is Hostname:c-24-1-163-107.hsd1.il.comcast.net ISP:Comcast CableOrganization:Comcast Cable Proxy:None detected Type:Cable/DSL Country:United States http://images.whatismyipaddress.com/images/flags/us.png State/Region:ILCity:Elmwood ParkLatitude:41.9232Longitude:-87.8057 Area Code:773 The player is FreeAmp The problem is when I ban the ip it wont stop from trying to connect so it just fills my log up with ip in ban list, disconnecting. Any ideas how to get rid of this.http://forums.broadcastingworld.net/images/icons/icon8.gif Thanks RAG-FM 107.7 Raglan New Zealand & ragfm.com ........"Top Music Top of the Dial" Click HERE to listen to the RAG-FM radio stream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny c Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 I found how to turn off the txt file for logging, but is there any way you can stop the banned ips showing up in the server monitor.

icyshout Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 yeah you need to use a firewall for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazin 97 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 That's good :D I hate bots, pain in the but for any webcaster. It's weird how we can just find all of that info on one i.p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icyshout Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 does anyone know of any software that integrates with shoutcast dnas or icecast that allows you to track stuff like that? and possibly ban those ip? cause not having to mess with the firewall would be a plus...

voodoohippie Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Just as Peer Guardian can be used to ban the RIAA/Adware so too can it be used to ban bots. Once you know its a bot for sure than install Peer Guardian on your server. Now just use a manual list of IP's to ban. Its easy if you don't want to mess with a full fledged firewall like Zone Alarm. Let me know how this works. Progressive Rock(Album Rock Deep Tracks),Classic Rock http://thelegacy.shorturl.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icyshout Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 wow i already use peerguardian and i totally didnt think to use it in that way. And it looks like theres a program called moblock for linux that allows you to use the same p2g formatted files to create iptables rules to block bots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoohippie Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Well maybe we can get some of these Shoutcast hosting companies to use PeerGuardian to start to block offensive IP's and this way we won't have these lamers who rip 24/7 clogging our listener slots lol.

icyshout Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 is there any point to a bot that rips a stream? Since if one wanted mp3's they could find them elsewhere on the internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny c Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 is there any point to a bot that rips a stream? Since if one wanted mp3's they could find them elsewhere on the internet? Thats one thing I cant work out as well, maybe because it takes hands on to download single mp3's or torrents.

James Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I personally have found quite a few streams that have been "ripped" but the ID's tagged over to make it look like their station. Quite obvious to the average webcaster but not to the average listener! This generates income off somebody elses work (via website advertising and stream advertising). But a majority of stream rippers do it for personal use, Recording a stream is a good way to rewind and play back good moments in a station or a particular song they liked. There are people out there that do that! Studiio - All-In-One Radio Communication Platform SMS | Phone Calls | Social Media | Content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people out there that do that! I thought that at first with the last one , but then I noticed how much time he was ripping. Far to much to ever play it back again. He was doing it for days for almost 24 hours a day. Thats a bit fishy for me. And then after I banned them, they keep trying to hook up for over 5 hours and then not even an email to say, Hey I cant get your stream any more, what wrong? As I said a bit fishy. .
