Topic: Why? Because fuck u, thats why: version 70002 , blocks= - page 2. (Read 4137 times)
This user agent string is used by the crawlers that https://www.reddit.com/user/botneko-chan uses to identify Bitcoin Classic nodes for subsequent DDoS via DNS amplification attacks.
This thread is hilarrious. From my experience, spammers and other black hat computer geeks are from Russia. Just had to block two .ru domain on my forum.
On reddit there is a speculation that this particular node, operating
from Russia, is looking for Classic nodes and then DDOS them.
I am really wondering as well. This seems to be because somebody distributed a pre-compiled modified Bitcoin (Classic?).
Since I posted yesterday, my "invalid peers" black list now contains 2414 unique IPv4 addresses, which are blocked by my iptables firewall. There were only 2168 IPv4 addresses of the "invalid peers" yesterday. Most of the additional blacklisted IPv4 addresses come from the peers with this "user agent" name.

I'm curious what else is wrong/different about this 'version'.
It looks like this has just started about 2 days ago. According to my debug.log files, so far there are 256 unique IPv4 addresses with this offending "user agent". I recently just blacklisted the IPv4 addresses of all peers with this "user agent" on my iptables firewall as I mentioned on https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/invalid-ip-addresses-on-receive-version-message-on-debuglog-1371683.

Can anyone explain this message to me?
thx
Each node on the network sets a version string to identify the software being run. It looks like someone set their version string to be "Why? Because fuck u, thats why". Setting this string requires changing and recompiling code. I found this log
