Here's how hackers are working their bots or whatever right now to generate traffic by hiting a site about 5-6 times in a row in groups from different IPs. These groups of IPs are related in more ways than one.
We have a site that gets very low traffic and pretty much has nothing linking to it and nobody looking at it. And yet somehow this site gets blocks of hits in a row out of nowhere - 5 or 6 at a time - then stops for another hour.
Here's an example:
12/7/2007 4:08:58 PM 218.234.21.33
12/7/2007 4:09:04 PM 68.189.175.164
12/7/2007 4:09:25 PM 24.0.54.125
12/7/2007 4:09:33 PM 207.172.248.72
12/7/2007 4:09:36 PM 70.236.22.31
12/7/2007 4:09:43 PM 70.236.22.31
Here's an exmaple of traffic from the Ukraine which is probably hackers hitting that same site:
80.91.186.250
inetnum: 80.91.186.0 - 80.91.186.255
netname: INTERCONNECTIONS-DATAGROUP
descr: Subnets /30 for interconnections to DATAGROUP's clients
country: UA
I'm guessing all these IPs are related bots and hackers that hit this site in Decemeber:
