[AusNOG] WARNING! WARNING: SCAM [Domain Register Pty Ltd]

[Jesse O'Connor]

Hi Matthew,

> Is there anyone on the list that works for CloudFlare? It seems this
company wants to ensure that their server cannot be tracked or have been
ddosed before. I am trying to find the datacentre that’s hosting the server
and have the server shutdown. If they are smart they are possibly using a
US server.

I do not work for CloudFlare, but you could try looking for subdomains that
might not be behind CloudFlare, then looking at the owner of those IPs:

https://www.google.com.au/search?q=site:*.domainregister.com.au
Found one: manage.domainregister.com.au

$ host manage.domainregister.com.au
manage.domainregister.com.au has address 87.76.16.45
manage.domainregister.com.au has IPv6 address ::87.76.16.45

$ whois 87.76.16.45
