Not you of course. Whoever the previous owner of the netblock was. And a heads up that what you are receiving is damaged goods so to speak would have been great.. --srs (htc one x) On 24-Jan-2013 6:54 PM, "Thilo Bangert" <thilo.bangert@gmail.com> wrote:

ah, sorry - it wasnt RIPE telling us that the subnet had been used for hacking. how would they know? We received such information from networks where we were successfull in removing the null route.
so, no - nobody got a /20 with the justification that he wanted to ddos Israeli websites.

While it appears that many of the GeoIP issues have been fixed -- its surprising how many sites are out there which NEVER update their maxmind or other databases -- we still have reachability issues, especially into Israeli networks. It has been communicated to us that the past owner had notoriously attacked Israeli websites, which is why the netblok 80.71.128.0/20 had been null routed.
One of the websites our customers complain about not being able to view is http://www.english.machonmeir.net/ were we cant get to the DNS server which lives at 62.219.11.42. Trying to reach someone from the other network has thus far not been fruitful. Any help in establishing communication is greatly appreciated.
If you null route, could you pleae check whether you are blocking our subnet, and if so kindly reevaluate that decision.
Thank you for your help.
kind regards Thilo
