Hmmm! I noticed that as well. Just a little bit to easy I would think. Something is funny with this one. I hope he does'nt mind me sending an email and making a call to AOL to verify this. As far as Ravage382, this may be you. It still tells us nothing. This nick is a new account here too. Nothing has been posted by Ravage382 about your server. If this is an attempt at some social engineering. It's not working to well.

Not much info to go on.

I'm curious as to why chris_james's profile says he's in the UK, the Visual Traceroute VisualRoute puts the IP addy as AOL in Reston, VA and the domain ".nu" is listed for a country called Niue, which is an island in Polynesia Niue ?

If chris_james could explain some this, perhaps?

[indolent]

im guesing if he is running a server that resolves as aol he proly has a cable modem thru them, he is definatly in the US and hes almost definatly breaking the aol TOS

[alittlebitnumb]

The DNS is provided by DYDNS, and it is not even on the server. I found this out by changing the url to Mine.Nu. I am no expert, but would one need a remotely hosted DNS when *NIX runs DNS just fine on it's own?

I am VERY suspicious. I am gonna do more investigation... {P2P}, you are right, somebody needs to contact AOL. The only thing I can think of that MIGHT make this legit is AOL has a broadband service and this guy is running servers fom that, and is using this DNS service for others to resolve the IP or complex host name easier. However, I do not know if AOL allows servers to be run. It's got my attention.

[chris_james]

I am in the UK
I have set up a bridge IP to Aol which allows me to connect linux to internet by way of AOL. This works by reverse engineering and analyzing bytes sent to the modem and finally using VPN to connect all my boxes.
My Dns is from www.dyndns.org

Well, if we someone her does get in trouble for breaking into the server because you said it is yours. You are in some serious trouble with us, and the law. I don't buy this. If someone here does break into it, and he ask you for the password to make sure, DO NOT give it to him. I want some hard proof, and so far, dosen't look so good.

I contacted AOL, and they were of no help at all. However, I did get some info from them, and they do have cable and DSL. I am trying to find a terms of service.

Update: I e-mailed AOL with the results of the NMAP, the URL pointing to the server, the DNS provider, and the whois info from {P2P}. I do not know if AOL is going to do anything about it, but I am sure if it's serious enough, they will. I could not find a TOS anywhere, but I can almost guarantee AOL does not allow servers... especially "reversed engineered"...

If I get any response from them, I will let you guys know.

[{P²P}Apocalypse]

Well. I think he has given up. I can't get him to respond to me. Someone must have showed him his security sucked or he was up to something and got scared because he was reported. Anyway. I did send an email to AOL asking about the validity of what he was doing and to verify that he could do this. As soon as I hear something I'll let you know.

[alittlebitnumb]

There is power in numbers, indeed.
