You are not alone. Tons of website got targeted by the Omni-crawler.
Actually, starting from the IP Lookup
http://www.allaboutip.com/ip_routing.html
and input 65.19.150.233, you will get the following info:
IP routing lookup results for 65.19.150.233

This is the company that developed the crawler. Definitely, this crawler is not as smart as Google crawler. Instead, it was working too hard -- resulting nothing but troubles. Here is a more complete list of IPs it may use:
1x 65.19.150.218
1x 65.19.150.219
3x 65.19.150.224

Hi,
I have a personal website hosted under a public shared hosting plan. The hosting is free but I get to pay the bandwidth if the traffic reach certain limit. Recently, from the access log of web statistics, I noticed a huge heavy traffic:
35,000 hits from 65.19.150.233 which kept attacking my login page.
63,000 hits from 65.19.150.249 and 24,000 hits from 65.19.150.222 which randomly attacking others.
I turned off my site and I turned it on later. It seemed be OK. But days after, the attacking came back again. Now I got to shut down my website altogether since I can not afford such a huge bandwidth.
What should I do to to get rid of such annoying attacking?
Thanks in advance.
Sunjay
