Block 185.235.84.0/22 (which ad broker criteo – used by WetterOnline/WeerOnline/others port-scans) via Sven222@Friendica Social Network

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/10/31

[Wayback/Archive] Friendica Social Network | Sven222 @ Friendica Social Network:

Also, falls jemand UFW am laufen hat und keinen Bock auf criteo hat:
edited: UFW Regel nach Hinweis aus Kommentaren angepasst.
ufw deny out from any to 185.235.84.0/22

Or [Wayback/Archive] Tobias Klausmann: “@sven222 Bei mir ist nftables …” – mas.to:

@sven222 Bei mir ist nftables statt ufw, ich hab dann das hier gemacht:

ip daddr 185.235.84.0/22 tcp dport 443 jump rd
ip daddr 185.235.84.0/22 tcp dport 80 jump rd

“rd” it eine chain, die normal rejectet (also wie “port ist zu” aussieht), aber bei hohen Paketraten zu “drop” wechselt.

Oh, and WetterOnline were the ones that forced the German state weather agency to limit the usability of their free app: [Wayback/Archive] BGH-Urteil: Staatlicher Wetterdienst muss Gratis-App beschränken | heise online.

For that reason alone, WetterOnline and their obvious local brands are blocked here, as is criteo.

Reminder: check out what GitLab has put in place for “dormant” or “inactive” repositories

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/10/31

A few of my git repositories and technical surroundings (like pages) should outlast my life expectancy, for instance the ones supporting the IT infrastructure of my mentally retarded brother after I pass away.

Most of the involved repositories have no write-activity (they are either documentation that the people can use after I passed away, or are semi-static web-pages that require TLS in order to keep functioning; GitLab provides an automatic update mechanism for that which is based on Let’s Encrypt).

Summer 2022, GitLab caused quite some stir when they planned to first delete dormant repositories. Links on tose below.

Of course I could move to GitHub, but that lacks access control through project hierarchy provided by GitLab and could implement a similar repository dormancy scheme in the future.

Using an external “keepalive” mechanism only induces a game of walls and ladders [Wayback/Archive] (likely requiring intervention after I die) and also makes the infrastructure more brittle so I proposed a lump sum plan.

Some links for my reminder:
