I was just looking at my crawler that has been scanning a few ranges of USA addresses and I set it for common HTTP open ports and I was just looking for some things that people had up, many personal pictures and other various media. But I hit an absolute database of child pornography. Every single directory on that server contained a very catalogued (by age, race, hair color, eye color and what I assume is another category called yay? it was everywhere and I don't know if it's some meme or does it have a meaning) array of pictures. There are many of what looks like stalking pictures but there are also so many nude photos of little girls and also many videos in each of these directories. I don't know what to think about this, it was obviously someone's personal machine since it was just a basic HTTP server. I have no way of contacting this person to tell them that this is something that probably shouldn't touch the public side of the internet. How do I get in contact with this person, there are no other ports open, no router nor any ssh port that I can try bruteforcing, there is however a, what I assume (by the traffic) is a bittorrent, could be a client or a tracker. I don't know much about torrents but chatgpt told me that it has something to do with torrents. I have the IP address only pretty much. Should I do something about this or just pretend I never saw this mountain of little girls just waiting there to be found by another brave traveler?

picrel only for a meaningless picture placeholder, these are not the ranges of the server in question.

how about you report it to the authorities retard?

this is the dumbest shit i've read all day

>>106133385 (OP)
your story sounds made up but you just basically confessed to having committed a crime

>i don't want to report them to the authorities, I want to get in touch with them to tell them how to secure their server
KILL
YOURSELF
PEDO

are you sure it's not 127.0.0.1?

This thread glows.

>80% of this site traffic is law enforcement.
He pretty much just did.

If you don’t report it to the FBI you’re just as bad as them. Actually, I think I’ll report this thread to the feds and give them your IP. Good luck OP!

This could be a honeypot to gather pedos from 4chinz, otherwise use the above tip site for proper reporting. Additionally avoid disseminating such filth, if it is indeed as you say. I did not and will not investigate.

>>106133385 (OP)
If it's out in the open like that it's probably just a honeypot.
They already got you logged. Best you can do is not go back to the site and get a lawyer if they ever come by.

>>106133400
How do I just call the cops and tell them this? kek

>>106133447
Well yeah, I want to help them. I love seeing people host their own things, just perhaps not things like this..

>>106133474
Well even if this was true, my traffic would look like an absolute chaos. I run a crawler, I connect to a large percentage of the IPv4 space, they still wouldn't know the IP of that person, even if they would get all the logs from my ISP.

>>106133488
Well you can't see my IP unless you are a moderator, but regardless I am pretty much under a proxy all the time (also for crawler reasons, I have to rotate it so might as well never turn it off)

>>106133496
Are you suggesting that a government body would be holding a honeypot to catch people that crawl the web? I mean that would be silly wouldn't it?

>>106133544
>How do I just call the cops and tell them this?
just call 911, nigga

>>106133385 (OP)
FBI here. Please write the address in this thread, it'll make it quicker, the anonymous tip page has a long ass queue. We will be issuing a removal request for this thread and archives if they aren't on their own anyways.

>>106133400
>report it to the people that maintain the largest database of pizza on earth
Yeah that'll help the children.

OP you stumbled upon either an open spook server and/or honeypot. It's over for you.

>>106133385 (OP)
Look, there is one non-offending pedo in here, the only moral thing to do in this situation is to drop the link so the pedo gets his rocks off and remains non-offending. You can literally save a child right now, will you?

Does it have any boys, asking for a friend?

Hopefully not a glownigger LARP, but the thread screams trying to prevent OP from reporting.

Mind your own business

>>106133639
So it was you, huh?

>>106133604
If anything 4chan has taught me over the years is not to reveal anything to the public, I truly want to help this person, and I do not care about their intentions of doing this no matter how disturbing it may be, I see it as freedom as any other and they deserve to have their freedom as long as it doesn't harm anyone. Yes there is a lot of child pornography, which could imply that this person is a child molester or some sex offender but realistically is just another guy just like any one of you that like hoarding weird things, how many AI porn threads we have on /g/? Yes it's disturbing, but it's a freedom to have. I don't like any pornography in general let alone children but giving you or anyone on this thread an IP to this server will not make things better for that person, it will only make it worse.

>>106133635
I would aid anyone in need of it, many wont notice this as they just don't run large scans on something as arbitrary as this, I guess I just stepped into a wrong server huh..

>>106133639
Given the state of this thread, it was probably a mistake to even post it. I suppose I could but I feel sorry for not being able to help people setup their firewall right. Wouldn't you be sorry if you knew that someone is publicly displaying content that was likely intended to be held private, and you couldn't do anything to help out?

>>106133657
Master baiter, I kneel.

>>106133652
I take proper care of my servers.

>>106133385 (OP)
>many nude photos of little girls
are they in bathtub? if so they are of brookes shield they are legal, many have them.

>>106133690
Those photos are now illegal.
There's nothing aesthetic about getting off to vulnerable people.
OP you should report the site and move on.
