Looking for work............
I have set filters to automatically temp-ban IPs that try this kind of stunt at the firewall level. However, the warning from vBulletin fires away just after 5 attempts, and I can't set the firewall rule that low (it starts banning proxy/VPN shared IPs).
Just looked up that IP, and it only made 6 total requests to the web server (and 6 yesterday), all of them POST to the vBulletin login. To further complicate the issue, it seems there were very similar attempts from a couple of other IPs at the same time frame (botnet ?). The IPs are in totally different subnets (one in Colombia, another in China, etc.), and all of them made exactly 6 requests within a minute or so.
Thanks for letting me know though, I'm aware of the issue as there are tens of such attempts daily.

Hey guys, long time no see. I got one as well today Philip. I tossed the email the email and looks like its already gone and can't be retrieved. I'll change my password now.
Hope everyone is still well. Myself, I feel older and hurt more everyday, Its been a while since I fell off the SG grid, just around the time frame before Blebs passed. I hoping that the friends I made here are doing well, and for the ones don't know, I hope you're doing well too.

Hope you're doing well, good to see you again.
Sh*t happens, I hurt more and feel older every day as well. Main issue is both are advancing way too quickly. Not sure which concerns me more but have little/no control over either.
Anyway, take care and stop by more often.
Most definitely a scripted login attempt. Note, ssh is open.

The ole back pains are back, I can't hardly walk very long or stand very long. Now I've got some muscle issue in my feet. I sure wish I could retire.
Larry, glad to here from you, and I can't forget Humby and Tony.
Sorry to hear about the back Sid. Same here. Have you ever tried the topical patches?Sid wrote:The ole back pains are back, I can't hardly walk very long or stand very long. Now I've got some muscle issue in my feet. I sure wish I could retire.

They're script but work well. Not icy hot stuff.
Glad to get the brand/drug if you want. Hate using them, been a few years, but they've come in handy a few times.
Hi Sid & Humboldt
Sorry to hear of your back pains. A couple of things i use. Bobby Orr recommended the LivRelief Cream one day on a sports talk show & knowing what an honest guy he is i tried it and my Ma as well and boy it works for us. A little pricey but well worth it. Its non prescription as well.

My old standby from the days of my grandmother who swore by it is Camphorated oil & an Aspirin. A good rub and take an Aspirin then lay down with a blanket over you and sleep for a bit and that usually does it for me.
You have to ask a pharmacist for it as they keep it behind the counter now as improper use can be poisonous they say. I've never had a problem myself and always have a small bottle at hand. It goes a long way and lasts for a very long time. Make sure you don't have any open skin nor rub near your eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after using.

Hope your both feeling better as back pain can sure take the fun out of life.

Just cause it makes me laugh...imagine a theoretical co-worker who allegedly tries a home-remedy of straight undiluted clove oil on his scabies (tiny genital STD crabs btw).minir wrote: Make sure you don't have any open skin nor rub near your eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after using.

He said he screamed like a newborn and was almost in tears
He likened it to a blowtorch.
Trial and error sometimes, he hasn't done it twice.
Live and learn.
