I have a right-wingish website, not a lot of traffic, but over the past two weeks I've been getting bombarded with bot hits from Columbus Ohio...about 100 every day. They all show MIT as the IP, and all in the 18.xxxxxx range. Who the fuck is this?
Is someone watching me?

Would rather not say, but it's politically-incorrect dank humor
Ayden Barnes
sounds terrible, stop the anticipation and just shill the website that's the point of this thread we all know it
Blake Martinez
Political science class studying your rank memes in an effort to understand memetic warfare.
Cameron Gray
do they leave messages, content or anything?
why do you say it's a bot?
Zachary Scott
I posted pic related on Faceberg the other day and got instantly shoah'd for 3 days within 3 seconds.
They are working tirelessly to counter memetic warfare.

Hits only stay for a few seconds, sometimes coming in surges
Bentley Peterson
something's come back saying it is Amazon or Amazon Web services for that ip.
if you search
why do Amazon bots keep visiting my site
There are lots of people complaining of the same thing as you
Kevin Bailey
A lot of images/memes from my site come up on Google Image...related?
Jeremiah Butler
Yeah, I saw that too. WTF does Amazon want with my stupid little site?
Christopher Cook
Thats the schlomo bots they leave after scanning for shekels. You will get an angry letter from your local temple as to why you don't have any ads on your site.
Zachary Young
it's not Amazon but Amazon Web services as far as I can work out. There are a lot of people complaining about the same thing

I read that already and am still none the wiser as to how it applies to ops thread. Why do you think regular people would know about that?
What's happening in ops case?
Eli Howard
Wow ok. Yeah sorry, honestly thought you were larping.
Let me break it down user.
Amazon offers virtual computers to run systems/programs/microprocesses
Literally "the cloud"
You can spin instances (as they call them) up and down and they're tiny ass computers. If you see traffic from here it's the most common thing ever, people use their own accounts, buy other peoples, exploit them and run attacks etc etc etc.
Jordan Smith
So I still don't get it? What are they looking for?
Mason Gonzalez
They are probing you as part of a right wing/russia interference study.
Contact them and tell them to fuck off. Tell them you are american and have the right to your beliefs and opinions.
Alexander Perry
Yes, you are being watched. Of course you are. As soon as you take Jow Forums tier philosophy into the outside of this petri dish, your law enforcement and possibly intelligence is watching you. But not nearly as often as Google, Facebook and other tech companies.
Mason Davis
probably nothing, its not *amazon* doing it, some nerd has an AWS EC2
instance he's running a bot from - probably scanning for vulnerabilities or
scraping content. Just block that ipaddr and move on with your life.
Lincoln Davis
I am SO GLAD I opened this thread and read through it and you didn't doxx yourself. The shills are out in full force today dont tell them the name of the site protect yourself user
