I'd be curious to know where this "ampnode" bulletproof hosting company physically had their servers and stuff colocated. ironically enough, ampnode.com right now appears to be behind cloudflare, I got the 5 second cloudflare javascript/browser fingerprinting loading screen when checking it out. "Dedicated Spoofing Servers Now Available. Unfiltered. Unmanaged. No scanning! No child porn! Buy yours today! Don't forget to inquire within about the bulk order discounts." well that certainly seems totally legit and not suspicious at all https://ampnode.com/servers.html https://ampnode.com/servers.html how is it that the marketing website for this is still up? https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/illinois-man-convicted-federal-criminal-charges-operating-subscription-based-computer https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/illinois-man-convicted-...

  Seems like a less boring than normal job for some mid level FBI/DOJ linux sysadmin types. I wonder what department is responsible for keeping such honeypots running...

How did they work child porn into that? Are they saying they don’t host / store it, or don’t ddos child porn servers?

  They are saying they don't host CP, as that is a great way to get your "bulletproof" service raided.

    Or maybe they have a shred of ethics.

      These guys are basically mercenaries, offering their hardware to anyone with the cash, to engage in various attacks on their customer's adversaries. I don't really think they're doing the no-CP thing out of a sense of ethical obligation.

      Usually it’s a given, not something you have to advertise...

      Hosting CP will get you raided. And even entities that normally don't cooperate with the police will suddenly get lenient if they see you host CP.
