| 497781 | 2006-11-09 07:54:00 | I'm a moderator on a forum, where this person has been showing his websites as places where when you click on them, you immediately get done by various viruses/key loggers. I had to re-install my operating system, and in the duration, forgot my password. I'm unable to re-set it. But that's beside the point. Is there anyone I can dob this person into that they get done? |

You can also see who is hosting his website and who the domain name is registered to and lodge a complaint with them. You can use whois (http://www.whois.net/) for this. |

Unfortunately, This is the same guy registering multiple times. Also, when looking at the originators, the only common link seems to be @homelancers.com, which seems to be a blog place under construction. The others were just blatent porn sites which they were asked not to talk about. |

| 497785 | 2006-11-09 09:21:00 | If you have his IP address, then you may find which ISP he uses, and then contact the ISP see if you can find out who that IP address was released to at that time. However, he may have used proxy servers, which make your tracing much harder. | developer (4447) | ||
| 497786 | 2006-11-09 12:11:00 | I find these days with so many different registrar's... betterwhois.com (http://www.betterwhois.com) does in fact get better results LOL Anyhoo - just wanted to say, you may have partly answered your own question with the reference to homelancers... I'd guess this is where he was working from and may have even had the exploit scripts there as well, with the site links he posted redirecting there. Thats just speculation on my part, but this domain has been completely locked - so there has been problems. I doubt any of the contact details of Mr "Bobrov" are real either.

| 497788 | 2006-11-09 19:55:00 | If the DNS details are incorrect then the domain can be pulled. You have an obligation to keep your DNS details up to date and accurate. | TGoddard (7263) | ||
| 497789 | 2006-11-09 22:18:00 | ... forgot my password. I'm unable to re-set it. But that's beside the point... I helped a friend to reset their XP password (even the administrator password) using a bootable CD (I think it was linux based) which shows you all the users on a XP installation and allows you to change/reset the password for any of them. Unfortunately that was a long time ago and I can't remember the name of it. Someone else may know. |
