    Allowed crime on their servers or why?

    Criminal activity and "RDP" in a hosting provider name go together like peanut butter and jelly.

    this is why we don't have windows server images (besides legal concerns and me not wanting to have anything to do with m$)

    it filters out 99% of abusers because skids cant into linux

    This is 100% true. We have offered Windows VPS before and what we got was brainless, abusive, low quality customers. Crazy.

    It be alone using the term "RDP" instead of VPS which got me triggered in the end from all this people.

    Interestingly those users who use Windows on Dedicated Servers are not like that. Probably because The braindead doesnt know how to use a Dedicated Server.

  • And who stops abusers from using kde? Wtf. If you need gui, not only windows does it right…

  • What a surprise... I wonder what LET providers advertised on those forums, haha,

    literally this!

    There was a time when I worked for this large company and customers would order Windows servers to host a HTML or even Wordpress website just because their IT guys could not find their way without a GUI and they were paying like more hardware + Windows Server license + maintenance and were paying like 7 to 10 times the usual cost to host their website just because of incompetence.

    Today, the FBI also seized the domains used by:

    MySellIX (mysellix.io) and SellIX (sellix.io), two platforms that allowed users to create their own online stores, which threat actors also used to sell stolen data, software keys, and compromised accounts, and
    StarkRDP (starkrdp.io), a Windows RDP virtual hosting provider that some threat actors allegedly used for credential stuffing attacks.

    StarkRDP and Sellix was operated by the same group of Germans as RDP.sh who I suspect is next to go.

    https://bgp.tools/as/210558 is the network of RDP.sh

    ... and what to prevent the providers to charge 100 to 1000 times more, hence no vps just dedi
    Even a simple windows install without any complex program would need more than 2g mem just to work correctly.

    For customers it isn't anything crazy. I used VPN and pay with crypto for membership but even if i didn't it wouldn't matter much.

    Well the purpose of RDP plans is basically VPS for Windows. The servers are deployed with a CAL license with IIS and all the stuff needed and each user gets allocated a handful of resources with his RDP account. They are not individual Windows instances.

    Your world must be alright to think that those kids are even able to use SSH.

    What if i tell you that there are also people (as in here i mean the skids) that buy a Linux KVM VPS and then open tickets like "My RDP not working" and you have to explain them that you dont use Remote Desktop to access a Linux VPS. (after that, refund request incoming)

    Honestly, from a provider's perspective you can reduce a LOT of abuse on your network by:

    • Not offering Windows OS templates.
    • Not offering CentOS 5/6/7 templates.

    Seems like every tutorial on how to be a piece of shit revolves around those...

    Hmm... I don't think so, even you dont offer such os templates there is always a way to install OS, eg: https://github.com/bin456789/reinstall/blob/main/README.en.md

    So that would mean offering an overpriced "Windows Hosting" for users who can't type on computer keyboard would be a good business decision?
    I bet they would be eager to overpay 10x to get 2GB RAM useless Windows machine just to host their website with latency less than 20 seconds.

  • if you read carding "guides" you'll find most recommend using a RDP instead of a VPN or proxy because it minimizes risk, which is probably true in the case of skids because they don't quite understand how things work and they do stupid shit like logging into google using the same machine and the same ip that they use for illegal stuff, in which case a vpn isn't going to do anything

    @oloke said: So that would mean offering an overpriced "Windows Hosting" for users who can't type on computer keyboard would be a good business decision?

    no, because they'll open 50 tickets asking how to do the simplest shit and blame you for everything they don't understand, threaten refunds etc. if you also charge extra to cover support time it could work but you better pay your support staff generously

    Vast majority of customers do not know how to use Windows Server OS properly on a VPS.

    Does this ip address belong to one of your customers who is trying to brute force windows admin password?

    BTW - the windows admin user account is disabled on my vps. :)

    This IP Space is leased to a customer who uses them at Mevspace. For abuse contact the relevant Abuse adresses in WHOIS and/or the datacenter that announce this prefix for the customer; 194.180.48.0/24

    and provide logs/this screenshot.

    They might be able to nullroute/shutdown this enduser or investigate (maybe was it compromised that its bruting you?) or whatever.

    Exactly! If you earn pennies it will cost you more in staffing to explain IIS than give something as simple as cPanel with very limited functionality and stuff.

    Vast majority of providers don't know how to set it up either!

    Same as me. I also bought a membership from nulled.
    I'm sure they will create forums with other domains in the near future.

    they won't if they are behind the bars, someone will surely do that though......

  • That's very shocking news I have just seen.
