[Dxspider-support] TOP 20 nodes sending unverified spots in last 24 hours

[Mike McCarthy, W1NR]

This has been discussed at length but I will try to summarize

DXSpider has been modified to verify spots based on the user, node and 
IP address that is broadcast when a user connects.

The top nodes in the list below are CC cluster nodes that do not 
broadcast this data. Since it is Windows based, it has problems dealing 
with maintaining lists of users/ip addresses.

The flooding we have seen is direct injection by modified node software 
sending node to node protocol fake spots.

The person responsible needs to be tracked down and reported to the 
authorities as a hacker doing internet DoS attacks on a public service 
and arrested. This could be done by analyzing logs and mapping the "via" 
tags back to the source and finding the IP addresses used.
