I’ve been seeing some fake hostnames in my HTTP logs and did some investigation. What kind of idiot puts internal DNS names on routed ips?

% host -t any 42.165.55.65.in-addr.arpa
42.165.55.65.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer bl2sch1081908.phx.gbl.

Had to do some tcpdumps etc to get them because my apache logs doesn’t log hostname and IP address, but eventually found it:

OrgName:    Microsoft Corp
OrgID:      MSFT
Address:    One Microsoft Way
City:       Redmond
StateProv:  WA
PostalCode: 98052
Country:    US
NetRange:   65.52.0.0 - 65.55.255.255

Some people should just be disconnected from the internet.
