Hi

tbnb-45-160.telkomadsl.co.za - - [29/Feb/2004:10:11:29 +0200] "CONNECT www.google.com:80 HTTP/1.0" 200 10059 "-" "-"
tbnb-45-160.telkomadsl.co.za - - [29/Feb/2004:10:11:30 +0200] "CONNECT mx1.hotmail.com:25 HTTP/1.0" 200 10080 "-" "-"
Someone with adsl is scanning for open proxies. Ive emailed [email protected] twice with details and havent got any response what other action can I take. Its the kind of thing that should be kept under control who knows how many badly setup wingate, squid proxies out there waiting to be found.

Cheers
 
Hmmm, if you report to [email protected] make sure the logs are exactly GMT+2. They take a *long* time to respond usualy, but if its > 72h or so you should escalate the problem with telkom management and possibly ICASA.

I've had similar problems with SAIX abuse, where they simply don't respond. Unfortunatly unlike other ISP's which are members of ISPA and JINX, there isn't much way to presure them other than ICASA. Although I have thought of taking matters up with Telkoms international peers :)

What connection do they have to telkom?

Isn't the biggest pain in the ass though, that exactly that kind of probing is what affects your 3Gigabyte CRAP?

They are Telkom's peer into the UK.
