5:30 PM - Lame site attacks, accounts
A script kiddie named "taylor" has been creating hundreds of accounts for no particular reason today. I've reluctantly added a Captcha to the new account page to deter the attacks a bit. I've avoided them as they hurt blind users from using websites.
Taylor has come from two different IPs meaning he is either impersonating them or has access to two different systems via various means. Here are his IPs (from my convenient firewall rules)
00400 51 2576 deny ip from 74.197.12.164 to any in
00400 6 288 deny ip from 68.199.178.14 to any in
The first one is from a cable modem in texas (best i can tell) and the other traceroute'd to New York. You can see he's an active asshole.
Frankly I find his attack pointless and stupid. He's polluting the name poll, but there isn't much point to attacking this site. It is not that popular to gain accounts on for obvious purposes. I bet he's a little kid with a cute program.
Taylor I challenge you to attack 127.0.0.1.
