Spare Some Bandwidth To Close Some Scam Sites?

[Cheese]

This is pretty cool:


Basically our aim is to shut down 4 fake lottery web sites in less than 48 hours!
Furthermore this online event shall make web hosting companies, the authorities and the media more aware of the problem of the Nigerian 419 fraud, it's lottery variant and particular of the problem with criminal fake websites.

600 megs here...gonna have to turn it off to grab some torrents. :(

[Peerzy]

I'll leave this on untill i start downloading something (Proberly ownt be for a few days).

1Mb connect so should do a bit of damage.

We should have a compo; like in a month see how much you have done.

Sounds good to me, I can leave it on in work overnight as I rarely download anything when I'm not there.

300 meg now, might put a link in my sig too.

[shn]

Hey w/cheese some people do win the Lotto ya know. :lol:

Then again some seem to think just about everything on the net is fraud. I am one of thoose. :)

[Ariel_001]

This is just fun to watch... B)

You know they could stop this by making their server check the HTTP referrer.

[hi_what_is_up!]

hardly maxes out my bandwidth maybe only half.

[iMartin]

Ah...yet an even better reason to get ADSL :( Dam you local sh&#33;tty ISP&#33;&#33; :angry:

Can someone set up something similar for OverPeer? Those bastards keep flooding p2p networks with fakes.

how does it work? i mean how can you nuke them down?
and are they really fake sites?
can you nuke www.microsoft.com or googl.com?

:-" There just going after scam bank and lottery sites. If they went after crooks in general then Gator, Microsoft and the CIAs web site would all be targeted. And thats the tip of the iceberg. :unsure:

[elitek]

i need more explanation&#33;&#33; :01:
550 MB so far

[Arm]

Read the damn websites FAQ. :rtfm: By cross-linking the sites images and making them reload a bunch of times they are draining the sites bandwidth. Basically a cheap version of a DOS attack.

And what if the admin/admins have bandwidth limits set...........mod_throttle anyone? ;)

Why you&#39;d want to is beyond me...but I imagine that m&#036; and Google have a lot more bandwidth than some lowlife crooks. It would be kind of like trying to empty a swimming pool with a tea spoon. :lol: (Unless lots of people started doing it...)

@shn What do you mean by "mod_throttle"? :unsure:

[Alex H]

Ah - The Lad Vampire has carelessly left his source code open and put helpful explainations in it. So if someone wanted to do this to anti-p2p companies, the websites would be...

Overpeer (http://www.overpeer.com)
Loudeye (http://www.loudeye.com/)
Nabster (http://www.nabster.net/)
Piracy Is A Crime (http://www.piracyisacrime.com/)
Federation Against Copyright Theft (http://www.fact-uk.org.uk/index.htm)

Out of pure curiosity, can anyone think of anymore...?

[manker]

A mod throttle is a piece of software that is designed to reduce the load on your server and reduce bandwidth consumed by recurrent users (and other stuff) by &#39;throttling&#39; the connection.

I suppose Shn was telling us what the scammers could do to protect their site. :huh:

Yes, I googled to find that out :lol:

[Alex H]

I think that script can get around that - could someone check the source code?

[manker]

There ya go :)

[Alex H]

Yeah, I know how to get to it - Could someone check it to see if it can get around bandwidth throttling. I can&#39;t tell.

The legality is questionable.

With these 419 sites it&#39;s a bit different because who are they going to complain to? Can you imagine some low-life crooks complaining because people are trying to close down their scam sites? :lol:

So I guess this could be used to attack p2p scam sites but not a good idea to go after legit sites, no matter how much you hate them.

[Spider_dude]

some people are doing this on the slsk forum to fake slsk websites. it started off with hotlinking their images to your sig, but then you have to do a hard refresh to get it to download again or set your cache to 1k so images arent stored. some people also wrote a script.

[Proper Bo]

I wrote a script once....but I couldn&#39;t get any director to back me, and that bloke who plays the fat bald bloke in coronation street wanted too much pay anyway <_<

yeah some of them wanted to ping of death them, but it is better to just kill their bandwidth.

[Arm]

B) I like the idea. all those fake Kazaa sites are full of images so it would work well.

[Alex H]

Great&#33; Whoever wants to do it, the Lad Vampire has a very nice and easy to use source code. Just copy it and change the image tags and bye bye "Pay &#036;19.95 for life access to K-Lite" sites.

Please start a new topic with a link&#33;

[Arm]

The best idea I heard all day. B) Someone could make a prototype on Tripod or some free site to test it.

[Alex H]

Looks like I&#39;ll be doing it then, but I don&#39;t have much time on my hands, so it might take a while.

I&#39;ll need a list of fake p2p sites, which is where you guys help me:

It really picked up once I messed around a bit with it.

I have about a gig and a half loaded now.

In theory It should be able to go a <s>little</s> bit faster, I think.

The arsehole industry has been going on about that kind of thing for ages.

I&#39;m sure criminals get funded by stuff like it somewhere, but then again, I&#39;m also sure they get funded by legitimate businesses, pirated clothing, and just about any other way people can make money somewhere.
