at least I found the reason for the abuse. node.js starts many tests and one test (test/simple/test-dgram-send-error.js) is sending 1000-Request to random IPs to test the error handling, because the IPs should be unreachable, because its RANDOM. But due to ipv4 shortage many existing hosts have this "random" IPs and some were also answering. What a pity, my hoster saw this as scanning. And a overkill was, that the first random adress my server "scannded" was 6.147.249.44 and this adress belongs to "US Department of Defense Network". And JUST the second random ip was "7.33.58.97" and this belongs to "DoD Network Information Center". I think, the responsible person saw this in his logs and killed my server, because I wasn't answering his mail within 60 minutes.
That means, SORRY node.js. IMHO it is the fault of bad testing und bad luck. In the future, it would be nice to have a bether documentation of the differrent test cases. Watching and testing many single files was very depressing.... :) Thanks for the Help Am Donnerstag, 7.
