I would just use an IPTABLES firewall entry and block him before hit
hits your webserver.
sending a message to ab...@.... doesn't hurt either (it establishes an
electronic paper trail).
However, trying to get an admin at a foreign ISP (especially in a place
where a lot of cybergangs are known to operate) to do anything about it
is going to be difficult, at best.

I have a server running a school newspaper site. I keep getting hit
from a server in Belgrade with a bad request, which creates an error
and causes my database to grow by 1MB/hit. I am trying to track down
the bug in the database, so my question is really about getting the
guy to stop hitting my server with this request.
The IP for the request is 212.95.54.48, and I think it is a spider as
I get other requests from this IP for my site map, contacts page, etc.
I looked up the IP and I got this from Whois:
<snip>
What is the best way to handle this? Send an email to
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>, or am I just inviting
more abuse? Is there a way for apache to block these addresses before
it hits my site (apache is in front of a plone/zope combination)? I
have a robots.txt file at the root of my site...
Sitemap: http://ahsnews.com/google-sitemaps.xml
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
but it doesn't stop him from hitting me anyway.
Thanks for any suggestions you may have!
