Cluster attack/spam alertsnymous poll
by Kin 11 Jan '26

11 Jan '26

Hi, Following suggestions I have received from several sysops, I am considering creating a dedicated Telegram channel for sysops to receive real-time alerts about possible cluster attacks/spam (e.g., flooding, abusive comments, suspicious duplicates) together with practical mitigation commands/actions. Before implementing anything, I would like to gauge interest via a short anonymous poll (no callsign, e-mail, or personal data is requested). Poll link: https://strawpoll.com/05ZdzjLMGn6 Thank you in advance for your time. 73 Kin, EA3CV https://clustermap.cronux.net/map.html https://github.com/EA3CV/dxspider https://github.com/EA3CV/dxspider_info https://github.com/EA3CV/dxspider_update DXSpider Update: https://t.me/dxspider DXSpider Alerts: https://t.me/dxcluster_alerts

Update to maintain bad* lists
by Kin 11 Jan '26

11 Jan '26

Hi, Following the request I received to *help keep the bad* lists up to date while Dirk’s official repository is not yet available*, I am sending you this update. Please note from the start that *this work is not intended to replace the official repository*in any way. Its only purpose is to *provide temporary help*to sysops until the official repository is fully restored and operational again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Why these changes were made Due to the number of questions and requests I have received, I have decided to simplify the way *bad**lists are maintained in DXSpider. The existing |load/badwords|command has been updated, and *three new load commands*have been created: * |load/baddx| * |load/badspotter| * |load/badnode| The main goal is to *make maintenance easier*, especially for sysops with *limited knowledge of the internal DXSpider system*. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ What these commands do The new load commands are designed with *data safety as the highest priority*. * Any data already defined locally on your node is *always preserved* * When a new file is downloaded, it is *merged*with the existing data * No existing entries are overwritten or deleted automatically * Sysops remain fully in control and can later remove or modify any entry In short: *nothing is lost, nothing is forced*. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reminder: DXSpider built-in management commands DXSpider already provides commands to *view, add and remove*entries from all bad* lists: Show current entries: |sh/baddx sh/badspotter sh/badnode sh/badip sh/badword| Add new entries: |set/baddx ... set/badspotter ... set/badnode ... set/badip ... set/badwords ...| Remove entries: |unset/baddx ... unset/badspotter ... unset/badnode ... unset/badip ... unset/badwords ...| These commands continue to work exactly as before. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Important: please read the documentation Before enabling any automatic downloads, it is *strongly recommended*to read the README file: https://github.com/EA3CV/dxspider_info/blob/main/download/readme The README explains the correct installation order and how the new load commands work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Where to find everything Load/merge commands: https://github.com/EA3CV/dxspider_info/tree/main/load Downloadable list files: https://github.com/EA3CV/dxspider_info/tree/main/download ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Once again, this is a *temporary solution*intended only to help keep things running smoothly until the official repository is available again. I hope this proves useful.

[sysops] 40 Meter Spots
by Rudy Bakalov 10 Jan '26

10 Jan '26

Is there a definition of what makes an IP bad, what are the consequences of being labeled as bad, and the full lifecycle (getting added to the list, TTL, appeal process, etc.). It is worth noting that there are billions of people in the world that must use torrent or VPN exit nodes. What makes them bad spotters solely based on the use of privacy type of proxies?
