Delphi XE2 sanctuary lib galore…

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/11/02

Anyone who knows how to work around this? It happens every once in a while right after logging in over RDP to a VM with running Delphi XE2 (but similarly also in other Delphi versions like XE7):

---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
Access violation at address 74FD82A4 in module 'shell32.dll'. Write of address 00000014.
---------------------------
OK Details >>
---------------------------

With the below stacktrace including the sanctuary which always give me the creeps.

Just blocked 95.131.[184|185|186|190|191].0/24 on my firewall because suspicious port scanning @WillHillBet

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/11/02

I just blocked these IP subnets on my routers:

  • 95.131.184.0/24
  • 95.131.185.0/24
  • 95.131.186.0/24
  • 95.131.190.0/24
  • 95.131.191.0/24

Within a day they managed to get 60+ IP addresses from these subnets into my port-scanner blacklists because of suspicious port scanning activities.

They mostly belong to Whg (International) Limited, Gibraltar and Whg (International) Limited, United Kingdom  which seem to be related to William Hill Organization Ltd, United Kingdom that I just blocked before.

If the situation continues I’m going to block the 95.131.184.0/26 superblock as well:

I just blocked these IP subnets on my routers:

  • 141.138.130.0/24
  • 141.138.131.0/24

Within a day they managed to get 80+ IP addresses from these subnets into my port-scanner blacklists because of suspicious port scanning activities.

They all belong to William Hill Organization Ltd, United Kingdom.

If the situation continues I’m going to block the superblock as well:
