Same subnet trying to rip stream

soulful1 · 21st February 2003, 23:30

For a few weeks now, I've been finding computers from the same subnet trying to rip my stream. One by one I would ban the stream, but they would just go to another machine and try again. Anyone know anything about the following ip's or subnet?? 212.239.160.178 , 212.239.200.91 , 212.239.160.94 , 212.239.160.179 , 212.239.188.253 just to name few.

Thanks!

How can you tell if someone is trying to rip your stream?

thanks,

How do you KNOW someone is trying to rip YOUR stream? ie, how would I tell that someone is try to rip my stream?

Look at your server logs. If you see that they're using freeamp or winamp ver2.0, they are more than likely ripping your stream.

Geraughty I tried to ban 212.239 using the admin page. I did it in both the single ip and the entire subnet. But this person is still connecting whenever he changes any of the last six digits of his ip.

I'd really like to know who's responsible for this. I did a whois and sent a complaint to the adminstrator. It stopped for about two days but now it's happening again.

i've tried everything but shoutcast only lets you ban x.x.x.* not x.x.*.* -- good luck

i dont want to them to reach my shoutcast station so i just firewall them with FreeBSD's ipfw -
/sbin/ipfw -q add rule# deny ip from X.X.X.X to any
and thats the end of it.

In reply to soulful... You said that people using winamp 2.0 are more than likely ripping your stream? I seriously doubt that. There are a lot of people that didn't want to use winamp 3.0 because of the resources it uses. People would write in about it and they would be advised to use winamp 2 instead. I just downloaded winamp 3.0 just about 4 months ago. At that time there was only winamp 3.0. I doubt many people even know about winamp 5.0 and I'm sure there are still many people using winamp 2 respectfully.

Yeah they are ripping the stream when the same IP address listens to your stream on WinAmp5 and then right after with WinAmp 2. I am getting the same thing...is there anyway to send these people a message through their IP address. Like an instant message?

When you see one ip connecting twice at approx. the same time and one is showing winamp2.0, I'd bet my first born it's a ripper.
