[WEB4LIB] Re: WiseCrawler? Or dumb as a stone?

Roy,

Through some traceroutes, such as those at Exodus via traceroute.org, I tracked through several NICs, including Asia and then to Korea. At Korea, I found your IP registered as noted below, with some contacts. Perhaps they can assist and stop the hammering. The site itself as listed in the data is http://www.kidc.net/index.jsp, which is the Korean Internet Data Center?

To do the IP lookup, use http://whois.nic.or.kr/english/index.html
The translation on my browser isn't perfect in the character set, so the below maybe partial.
Hope this helps!

Regards,
Michael
