On a side note, if your fan started spinning up when you opened this, it's because of the particle simulation in the header. I know because I reviewed this library ( https://github.com/VincentGarreau/particles.js ) when a colleague wanted to add something similar to our site. The problem is it uses a naive O(n^2) algorithm for linking up particles when they get near each other, which wastes a lot of CPU cycles. Runni…

I also noticed they have some janky Javascript playing with the scrolling on the page, which also prevents me from using swipes to go back in my browser. Very annoying when sites mess with that. Give me my usual scrolling inertia!

Thanks for this info, I've asked the guys to try and fix this! Apologies in advance!

I report any scanning done against my IP's. I do not know what the intentions of the scanner are. People trying to make money making a product that scans my IP's and wastes bandwidth and computing resources that I have to pay for should be jailed in my humble opinion.

Thats an extreme overreaction to jail these people.

Sure, a fine if they don't follow robots.txt might be appropriate but jail? That is absurd.

We respect a blacklist, just drop us an email on info@binaryedge.io and we can add your ips to the blacklist and we will never touch them again!

Wow... I was about to use this on a landing page I'm building. Thanks for the tip!

> Torrent Downloads: If an IP address detected downloading torrents, the risk level is considered extreme. Why? There is some more info in the README at Github ( https://github.com/binaryedge/ratemyip-openframework ), but nothing about why torrents induce extreme risk level .

I don't necessarily agree with the risk level, but if analyzing a traditional business network, torrenting probably isn't being used for legitimate uses. Thusly, it's likely it either being used by malware or maybe a ignorant/malicious user.

What would you recommend, a fine, perhaps a stern talking to by the authorities?

Maybe an automated system ? "Blacklist my IP", only validated if the action is requested by this IP.

I already stated a fine is more than sufficient. Or do you think you should be jailed for speeding on the freeway too?

Proportionality in relation to the offense is a thing.
