Yup, someone in China.

Use this site to look it up. Somewhere on that site you can also download a full list of IP to Country codes.

http://www.ip2location.com/free.asp

You could try using a .htaccess file to deny that IP like I have. I'm not a pro at this, but the following seems to work.

Create an .htaccess file if you don't already have one in your web root.

Then add something like this:

<Limit GET>
order deny,allow
deny from 59.42.45.220
</Limit>


After you review the downloaded file from IP2Location, you could look up the range and probably drop that deny statement down to just "deny from 59.42". That would then cover a broader range. You can then just add more deny lines as needed.

I implemented this when we started getting garbage submitted through our contact form.

Eric in Maine
