Good advice! :-)

Since you thanked VLH, I presume that filtering out a particular
posterÂ* _was_ your reason for wanting to find IP address(es). [It
would not haveÂ* occurred to me to use that method as I am aware that
a lot of ISPsÂ* reallocate from a limited pool.)


The "limited pool" as you term it, can be *3 million addresses*.
The addresses are *not contiguous* (some of the blocks were assets
in bankruptcy sales). The addresses can and are randomly
assigned, by the dynamic binding of ADSL sessions to terminating
equipment (backhaul) in a number of different Canadian cities.
Neither Geofencing nor IP numeric filtering would particularly be
surgical.

You want to block by ISP in such a case, not some numeric value. You'd


No, as I'd be blocking all users of that ISP. (Yes, there are semi-rogue
ISPs - ones where a large proportion of their customers deserve to be
blocked; but, even "respectable" ISPs have rogue customers they can't
easily disconnect, since rogue is subjective. You might just find a
particular user _irritating_, anyway, or just disagree with hir and
decide [as I did for one user on one 'group I take] that it'd be better
for all of the 'group if _I_ didn't see hir posts.)

get the IP, nslookup it, see what ISP, block the whole ISP. That way,
you "erase" the pool of 3 million non-contiguous addresses in one shot.
Where I live, that's roughly equivalent to blocking about half
my country.

How can I check if ANY of the people posting on the news.myplugbox.com
server newsgroups are using BT as their ISP?

I've always felt that Usenet is good - private servers? not so much!

Do you think anyone who knows your antics is likely to help you with that?

He blocks ALL stalkers, not just you.
Have you tried writing a message that doesn't "change" into
obvious stalking ?

For example, you started a thread about having difficulties
accessing Facebook. Two replies later and you changed the content to
harassing one of your favorite targets. You can't help yourself, can
you ?

You should just start a list of places where you're *not* blocked. That
would be a shorter list and much easier to maintain.


There's nowhere where I cannot go!

Kali tells me all I need to know.


Kali is just a normal Linux Dist with some security programs
pre-installed. You can get most of them from the Debian repos.
And you changed the subject to Linux ... in a Windows group.
What comes next ? Asking someone to "interpret" one of your
nmap or Wireshark logs ?

Just reminding people - the thread was about Forte Agent and
Windows. NOT about being BANNED from forums.

So, Dan, you're trying to break into a private server ?

I don't see any sign that is being offered for joe lunchbucket
postings. Someone is running that for their own amusement.

I can't find any actual posts in Google Groups from it - no
header samples - nothing.

Good luck in your project, "Dan" :-/

This is what shows up on my Thunderbird 'menu'

It is the new home for groups which were orphaned when Annexcafe
newsgroups closed down.

dogagent.com is the same server as myplugbox.com

ANYONE MAY JOIN THE GROUPS AND IT'S COMPLETELY FREE TO DO SO

(The server owner will, of course, then have full access to your computer!)

To check my theory that the server owner has chosen to exclude
*everyone* in the UK who uses BT as their ISP.

A bit overkill in my opinion.

They would only do that if someone on BT tried to hack them,
or if he nym-shifted and posted off-topic/stalking texts so often he
damaged the forum's reputation.
Know anyone on BT that might match that description ?
I'll "investigate for you.

Thank you for confirming that it *IS* entirely possible.

I simply wasn't sure.
