I'm getting a bunch of strange packets sent to pskreporter that (I
think) are coming from wsjt implementations. For example:
AD BC CB DA 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 4D 53 48 56 00 00 00
01 00 00 00 04 31 2E 34 32
I think that this is wsjt because of the adbccbda header (which google
helpfully points to wsjt). These packets are coming from multiple ip
addresses.
Does anybody have any idea of what is going on?
Thanks,

Hi Philip,
I have had a look at the latest source code for MSHV and unfortunately
it seems that Christo, LZ2HV, has moved from re-implementing parts of
WSJT/WSJT-X to wholesale copying large chunks, without any accreditation
to the original authors. This is in clear breach of the GPL v3 licence
that the WSJT-X code is placed into the public domain under. It appears
that by taking large chunks of code he has also enabled the equivalent
of the WSJT-X UDP message protocol, and misconfigured it to spam your
server, despite that no being part of spotting to pskreporter.
Given the clear breach of the WSJT-X GPL v3 licence I would like to
request that pskreport block any traffic from the MSHV application until
the situation is normalized.
