From this IP address, it was tried to access an ftp account. since the real user has not been in france at that time, it is very likely, that this ip address is part of e.g. a bot net. the username that has been used to connect to the ftp-server has previously been \"hacked\", probably via phising sites or Trojan horse. via the hacked useraccount malicious websites and java scripts have been uploaded to the webspace of the user. the password has been changed, since than this ip-address tries to connect every now and then unsuccesfully. i hope this information helps somebody. have a safe day

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.
