Thank you both for the warm welcome. Gotta love that sweet, sweet fiber optic honey. Apparently, I have the ability to sign up for speeds up to 300/65 or something like that... The rep. says most people can't get that high... ODD Anyway, I may post content on security hardware. I don't do much on the software side of things. =] -Yukon

I've been considering switching from cable to FiOS... "consistent" is the top reason. Of course not having been on FiOS yet it's only a perception... great to hear someone making "consistent" as a statement in relation to FiOS! Thanks! I live in the Seattle area - geek mecca - and it's astounding to me that our only broadband wired options are Comcast cable or Frontier FiOS (with a max package rate of "35MB"... someone in marketing apparently doesn't know the difference between a bit and a byte https://west.frontier.com/pricing ... I'm certain they're not giving 35MB/s away for $49.99/mo). BTW, nice place you got here!

And consistant as anything !

Welcome to TMN Mr. Yukon! I hope to see you post about you passions. I can always use good content and writing about what your passionate about equals good content... always. See ya around, thanks for your continued patronage. - D btw... awesome speeds. FiOS is the sh!t.

I get this one often... I think that people research the attacker and end up finding information I have listed, then they use my contact form for some reason. Maybe they think I'm the ISP. All I know is that lots of people send me emails like the following. Hi Adi, You've probably mistaken the tool that's helping you research your attacker for the attacker. I run TestMy.net and have no connection to that IP address, other than providing information about who they are. You probably were researching the IP and found information like... Research IP 221.15.163.82 Good luck tracking them down. I have to deal with hackers like that on a daily basis, I know your pain. Your attacker is from China, your best to find a way to block the attack; if you have a hard time contact your ISP. Contacting the attackers ISP in China (or Russia) is usually hopeless. Which is dumb because it degrades their network as much as yours... attacks usually take bandwidth, the Chinese and Russians weaken their own networks by not working with us. Probably about 90% of attacks on my servers come out of China or Russia. It's not because the Chinese and Russians are out to get us... the hackers are often in different countries tunneling in. Those countries just don't seem to care if their computers attack Western computers and networks, they don't do much to stop it. If you're getting DDoS attacked your host may be able to filter your traffic through something like Cisco Guard. I've had my host do that a few times for me, it does a great job. It allows good traffic to continue flowing while stopping the attack. Last time I had it enabled it was blocking a little aggressively and denied some genuine traffic. But it still helped to mitigate the situation. Your host should provide this for you free of charge. Stopping attacks like this makes their networks faster and better... they need to help you stop it, the data is flowing through the network you essentially rent from them. --- if your host won't help, find a new host. - Kind Regards, - Damon

Hi Angela, Usually you have to query the Connection ID separately to look at the results you took when you weren't logged in. Having said that... I added a feature for you. By default it will now include the tests taken on the same connection. It will highlight the result yellow if it's not logged by username. (see the screenshot) You can also toggle the feature on and off below the results list. (see the other screenshot) Hope this helps. Please note that only works on the connection that you're using, if you share the page others can still only see the results logged by username. If your IP changes those results will remain but may be lost unless you know the ID. My next database upgrade will track your IP changes so after that you won't have to worry. Until then, stay signed in and you'll easily track your results. Thanks for the suggestion, please let me know what you think. - Damon - TestMy.net
