This IP was part of a rather curious hacker attack on my website -- curious insofar as it seems to span at least half of the globe! The first three searches for "admin/categories.php/login.php?cPath=&action=new_product_preview" were done by 64.112.192.6 (USA). They were followed by three similar requests from 94.124.92.238 (Netherlands). Next there were three similar requests from 201.20.9.145 (Brazil). Last not least Russia chimed in, using 84.204.75.37 to make the same request. The last three of those dubious visitors arrived each within a minute after the previous one. Looks like there is someone doing their utmost not to be tracked.
They are at it still (and again), and still asking for the same file. This afternoon, they were proud to enlist the help of 77.223.130.80 (Turkey), which repeated their query three minutes later.
I wonder when they will resign themselves to the fact that there is no such file as /admin/categories.php/login.php?cPath=&action=new_product_preview on my website. They came back at least twice since my last complaint.

DNSBL* - is a list of IP addresses published through the Internet Domain Name Service (DNS) either as a zone file that can be used by DNS server software, or as a live DNS zone that can be queried in real-time. DNSBLs are most often used to publish the addresses of computers or networks linked to spamming; most mail server software can be configured to reject or flag messages which have been sent from a site listed on one or more such lists.
WHOIS** - is a query/response protocol that is widely used for querying databases in order to determine the registrant or assignee of Internet resources, such as a domain name, an IP address block, or an autonomous system number. WHOIS lookups were traditionally performed with a command line interface application, and network administrators predominantly still use this method, but many simplified web-based tools exist. WHOIS services are typically communicated using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Servers listen to requests on the well-known port number 43.
** Approximate Geographic Location - This is NOT the exact geographical location of the person/organization with the given IP address. However, this should still give you a good idea about the area/region where this person/orgranization is located.
