I have been accused of not supplying enough information

So here it is

I designed a SatReporting tool that encompases the ISS and NO-84

It draws information from the APRS-IS stream and presents it in a web form.

I added a function where people could manually add a satellite observation

This was exploited and I had to deal with the authorities and coped 65,000 emails from a vindictive individual in California

I contacted his her ISP and they were dumb and clueless

The help exceed my monthly internet bill in the the process.

That stoped after I reported them and took away the manual reporting feature.

I then let the system back on line and once again the same vindictive indivual was hitting my web site with a denial of service attack every second.

I have had to report them again.

My ISP are pissed off at me when I have done nothing wrong

Some jelous individual obviously does not like any one else doing something smart

It is sad and I feel sorry for that individual

I have a had a rough life and I can can take the punches

I will persist in bringing new and smart solutions to problems where I see I can help

Here is the individual that is doing it

Yeah I'd definitely be as reasonable as Andrew and accuse/threaten the entire AMSAT community on the BB multiple times. Sorry to say, but after all the rude, petulant, and annoying things he posts here on a near daily basis, my sympathy is nil.

Ya dun goofed, he backtraced it

Can I suggest to Andrew that he posts more details of the actual "hack"?

In this way we might be able to suggest some mitigation techniques.

For example, if it's a denial-of-service from one address, then a simple firewall rule to block that address. If its a DDOS, then maybe a rate limiting firewall rule. I dont understand the "65000 emails" - what is that about and how is it related? But I think upgrading the hardware to cope with the volume is not the right way to solve it - there may be many ways. For example, maybe it should operate on amprnet (44net) only?

I think we should encourage and help people (especially if they are not IT security experts) who devise a service but encounter problems. The internet is a dangerous place, people often need guidance to survive there!
