0x1bi.net is partially blocked now | |

I have set my server to reject connections on IPv6 via TCP port 70 from | |
0x1bi.net | |
For some reason that host constantly access every resource on this | |
gopher server (which I don't mind), but it does so in a very bizarre way | |
Instead of a normaly gopher request, such as "/<CR><LF>" it sends all of | |
its requests like: "/\tEQUEST_URI=/gopher.zcrayfish.soy<CR><LF>" | |
This is a major problem, it's essentially the same as sending a type 7 | |
search request to every resource on this server, naturally this appears | |
as junk on the guestbook and comments sections. | |
If this is an attempt at a vhosting type extension to gopher, it is | |
really fucking stupid, as it is being sent on IPv6, which has ZERO need | |
for vhosting ever. | |
A cursory search on IRC and gopher://0x1bi.net revealed no useful | |
contact information, and their gopher server's root clearly states: | |
``0x1bi is either dead, deprecated, or both´´... If that's so, why's it | |
still hammering this server? | |
In any case, I'm not sure what 0x1bi.net is doing, and I don't really | |
care... I absolutely welcome them to continue accessing any resources | |
on this server, but they must fix their request syntax before I revert | |
my firewall rule change. | |
If anyone knows who runs that server, could you kindly give them a | |
heads up so that the issue can be fixed? | |
Thanks! | |

I have to clean the guestbook regularly on RPoD due to posts that look | |
exactly like this. Thanks for the info! | |
