Dear Fred,
He appears to be in the UK, not Canada as you mentioned.

See recent changes for Willy's visit.
I think this guy is one of your admins. Here's his IP log for an ISP report. This is a good test of your new policy. Since this person is a bane not only on Wikimedia, but anyone on any projects supporting Wikimedia content, would be a good test.

Also, the digitally signed pcap trace files generated by the DSFS forensic file system which detail Willy's visits, routes, transactions, and other information along with all packet traffic captured around this time are at:
ftp.wikigadugi.org/wiki/trace
to verify this information and give you some idea of what an "ironclad" ISP forensic trace looks like.

Any 71.X.X.X addresses come from a residential gateway half the neighborhood is on, so you may see a lot of teenager content on it. Be warned.

He's not editing Wikipedia from that address, but the ip is probably blocked due to past activities.

I'll take the traces down then. If you need any more trace files on Willy, let me know. I wanted to illustrate what you can do with a forensic file system that not only captures traffic, but does route discovery and detects addresses behind proxies with modified cookies and other techniques. I have some folks from the church who use the wireless gateway and trace files to investigate porn usage in a local neighborhood as well. The Wiki Appliances come installed with DSFS by default, so you can track down anyone doing site abuse.

At the risk of sounding negative and repeating myself: I fail to see how this thread (this one in particular, without claiming the otherwise for other threads) is in any way related to the Wikimedia Foundation. Could you please have this discussion somewhere appropriate? Alternative: Explain to me how this topic is at least partly related to the WMF.
Thanks in advance and sorry for bothering.

Fred was discussing ISP changes and Willy came up in the discussion with Fred.
Good point, thread ended.

I'm not sure where it belongs. But I'll think about where it ought to go.

I chickened out when I connected to those. But let's keep talking about them.

Ok. I think if you need any of them in the future I should create an account in the server and give you access to the entire library in a non-public forum so you can surgically extract just the content needed for each case. We should probably be careful about the accesses of legitimate people to the site who may not want their IP info public. I have offered to provide licensed copies of the DSFS file system at no cost for the foundation or perhaps a standalone appliance which will allow you and other folks to capture all network traffic for Wikimedia. With this, you can track down anyone anywhere anytime and provide ironclad forensic traces to back up ISP reports. We have LARGE customers using this technology. One of our appliances can capture full traffic up to 500 megabyte/second loads. So a single appliance could do all of Wikipedia and be 98% idle most of the time.

Fred,
I checked on arrangements and if the foundation is interested in an appliance, I will pick up the costs for it and donate it to the Foundation at no cost. My contribution to Wikimedia this year if they wish to use it.
Jeff
I ask anyone on the project, because Mr. Merkey is now not a part of our community as far as I know, please ignore this off topic thread and not reply you to save other editors' time.
Or please explain what is relevant to our project and the organization which supports it.
Please,

I am not a part of **YOUR** restricted community (Essjay and friends), but I am part of the greater wikipedia community and the Wikipedia Native American Community. Like it or not, I am not going away, I have resources and a Wiki appliance company, and I am promoting wikipedia, just not the same way you are.
Or please explain what is relevant to our project and the organization which supports it.
I discussed it with Fred Bauder on the phone yesterday and I'll let Fred handle these community based issues with the Foundation. Open Forums are just that. The Community never banned me from anywhere -- it was the Board of Trustees afraid I was going to take some form of legal action. The legal action got resolved. To be honest, I get tired of the constant backpedaling and posturing of folks and I asked Fred to interface.
It will just be easier this way.
Cheers,
Jeff
