OK, so I’m checking my referrals on one of my sites and I see all these really wierd referrals.
Lots of links from
http://www.antiXXXspamXXXfilter.com
http://www.free-hardcXXXore-sXXXex-pictures-121.biz
http://www.stoXXXpallspXXXam.com
http://www.exhibXXXitionsuXXXccess.com

I put in the XXX’s so they won’t show up in searches for here. Looked in the logs and what they’re doing is trying to show up on top of the rankings by continuously sending HEAD requests to the server. This is the new kind of spam. So anyways, they’re all from the following subnets: 207.44.226.0 and 207.44.188.0. So I just logged into my cisco router and completely blocked all traffic from their sites with an access list.
If you’re finding this in your sites, please also black hole those sites. I use several black hole lists for my mail. I block outright about a third of all traffic as spam. But there isn’t an easy way to do that dynamically with web software, so just blocking the whole damn subnet is fine with me…
