Base hosting companies, data centers, proxies, bots and satellites.

I already presented here a few months ago our geolocation project WIPmania . Now we are opening the promised database of IP addresses (“service codes”), which hide “users” with an undefined location.
A “normal” user probably does not go to the Internet through an anonymous proxy or his VPN installed on, say, a server in China. Similarly, servers are not always used for peaceful purposes only, but also for scanning, spam, or fraud.


The main idea of ​​service codes is the definition

• first of all, all hosting companies and, accordingly, requests from servers located in all data centers of the world,
• hidden server platforms (usually used by spammers and card froders),
• free, anonymous, private and closed proxies, SOCKS proxies, web anonymizers,
• TOP-Network servers,
• search bots, aggregators, hidden search bots and hitbots,
• satellite providers
• Mobile clients using international proxies (as an example: Opera Mini)

The databases do not include corporate, university and similar proxies and NAT networks, as their users are usually local.

Determining the addresses included in the service codes will be useful and interesting for almost every server that has access to the Internet, from blogs and forums to online stores and bank servers for

• fight against fraud with the use of credit cards, with cheating in advertising networks,
• fighting defaces, hacking servers,
• protect servers and content from anonymous access,
• the ability to determine content theft,
• as an extra help in the fight against spam and hooliganism
• against unauthorized mass scanning of the server if the requester pretends to be an ordinary user.

At the moment, the system in running. Therefore, of all the service codes, only satellite and bots are open (except for hitbots). The rest will be a little later.

And here you can see the technical details.
