Erk - has someone been playing with mod_rewrite rules? 500 error on that one Tom. Wonder how I track down the webmaster to tell him? ;)
Yea. I saw that too. But its working now.
Yes, working for me too now. useful list, thanks Tom.
500 error fixed. WP-cache screwed up.
Sorry - dont blame me for the 500, it was working when I submitted!
Good list. No excuses to give up too easily now.
Rename it 44 stalker tricks and get a whole new audienceTwo more valid reasons to block archive.org, thanks!BTW, domaintools.com was left off the list.
BTW, domaintools.com was left off the list.its number 3.
You can also use MSN (sorry - turns out MSN is actually good for something after all) to check IP addresses by searching: IP:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX If that doesnt get it, try adding one to the ip address, adding two, subtracting one, and so on. Many servers will have a range of IP addresses, maybe a block of 3 or 4. When you hit an IP with nothing, thats probably the start of the block (since the first IP in the range is used for other networky-type stuff). Then type in the IP address directly into the browser. That will serve up the first site listed in apache for that IP address. The first site in the first IP of a block is generally the main site of whoever runs the server. For example, the site has an IP of 198.1.1.8. Check 198.1.1.7. Then check 198.1.1.6. and 198.1.1.5. If theres nothing at 198.1.1.5, then 198.1.1.6 is the start of the servers block of IPs. Type in 198.1.1.6 into your browser and see who you get.
@darkmatter thanks for correcting me, i was having allergy problems with my eyes this morning and that light green text was playing hell with my eye.
Very good post. A lot of these make sense, but the only problem is anyone who is half equipt to hide these details can avoid most of these points. But then again, not many people have that ability. :)
I really enjoyed the thought that you put into this rather large list. While some things are common sense, others I had not thought of in the past. Well written and something Ive added to my Del.Icio.Us bookmarks for future references.
Different tactics on how to track down site owners and webmasters.
