When you register a new domain, who are the first visitors?So Chris registers a new domain, what were the first hits on his logs? Exploit: Host: 217.148.32.42 Url: /scripts/nsiislog.dll"Scary how Google and others know about the domain when nobody else does. 4 CommentsBlaine Hilton said on 11/24/03 @ 06:19 PM:Google is the scary one. I always believed that they followed other links. The other ones are all just spammers going from IP to IP (not to mention WHOIS, and whatever else they use). This makes me think that the big bad search engine is either using shared IP spaces in some type of context, or perhaps they have some tool to monitor all new domains? The funny possibility is the spammers are using publicly available pages to list all potential targets. Is that even possible? Jake Ortman said on 11/24/03 @ 10:22 PM: My money says that Google probably manage their own meaty domain name servers and everytime they see something new pop up on the A Name root, they go after it, just for kicks. I'm sure there are spambots that do the same thing. Scary, just the same... Chris said on 11/25/03 @ 12:22 AM: It could just be that the guy I bought it for has the googlebar and checked it out in the early hours. Jake Ortman said on 11/25/03 @ 08:14 AM: Nah, I prefer the conspiracy theory better ;-) Post a comment |
