    More Hotlinkers...will it ever end?

    Just anoter message board that has shit loads of stolen hotlinked images.
    http://www.badassmofo.com

    It's a small site, but still cost me a gig of transfer this month. That almost $2.00 I know it's not much, but it's the principal involved.

    The forum adin has a banner to a CEN program, do you think CEN would be willing do do anything about these guys? Im going to write a letter tomorrow, just because I have nothing better to do.

    Just use .htaccess If everyone just learned to put a couple of lines of code into the .htaccess file this would all go away !!! No more hotlinkers

      Not so easy

      Ive got about 150 different directories, each containing various gallerys and images.

      Two of my directories, I use to host images for my other websites. (ive got a good hosting plan)

      I there a way to prevent hotlinking in all but 2 directories?

      And do I have to place a htaccess file into each and every directory I want protected?

      How does this work? I just wrote my hosting company, to see if they could help me out.

      Im a dunce when it comes to this tech stuff. The last time I messed with a htaccess file, trying to redirect 404's, I ended up taking my site off line for 12 hrs! Not to smart ehh?

        Be a little more specific. Post the page that they are hotlinking from.

          Wow, you two posted at the same time as I did.

          I learned Htaccess the hard way. Which is that someone hotlinked me as well.

          I think I was set up the same way you are Exx, I have all my images in different directories.
          After some thought I think keping all my images in one main directory is best.

          I'm slowly going thru the process of putting all my images into one directory, and changing links to point to their new location. I figure I better do this before I end up with 150 pages.

            If you do something like this in your main html directory it should protect everything below in all the sub directories.

            RewriteEngine on
            RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://name.com/.*$ [NC]
            RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.name.com/.*$ [NC]
            RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://255.255.255.255/.*$ [NC]
            RewriteRule .*\.[Jj][Pp][Gg]$ - [F]

            RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://name.com/.*$ [NC]
            RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.name.com/.*$ [NC]
            RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://255.255.255.255/.*$ [NC]
            RewriteRule .*\.[Gg][Ii][Ff]$ - [F]

            You can also add other domains by just making another set of lines with all 3 of their options with "www", with out "www", and the IP # of the domain. If you tell me all the domains that you want to be able to link from, I'll make the exact .htaccess file for you and post it back here

                this one is good aswell

                RewriteEngine On
                RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www\.yourdomain\.com/ [NC]
                RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://yourdomain\.com/ [NC]
                RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://64.88.185.39.*$ [NC]
                RewriteRule .*[Jj][Pp][Gg]$|.*[Gg][Ii][Ff]$ http://www.bannerfarm/links.shtml
                ErrorDocument 404 http://www.bannerfarm.com/links.shtml
                ErrorDocument 403 http://www.bannerfarm.com/links.shtml
                Options -Indexes

                it will stop them from directory browsing where there is no index files. and redirect your 404 and 403 to wherever.

                    Or you could've just e-mailed me, the webmaster. The forum kiddies link to a lot of stuff, usually from geocities accounts, but occasionally from sites like yours. If you want them taken down, you can just e-mail me and ask, I'd be happy to do it.

                      Here's another one who abuses copyright. I'm not sure about hotlinking:

                        The .htaccess file will protect sub-directories, too.

                          You all missed the biggest hotlinking
                          assholes. Go to gozilla.com and search
                          for jenna or any other photos.

                          This site hotlinks right to mpeg, jpg,
                          gif and any other files you have for free.

                          If you write them into htaccess the bastards
                          flip to a proxy server. Ya just cant stop
                          them. I asked my server company for help
                          but they dont give a shit.

                            Looks like you found your way here quick. Thanks for taking the time to post.

                            The htaccess should take care of my problem.
                            It's more of a problem of a little hotlinking here, and a little there...from various sites. By the end of the month it adds up

                              Did you guys read through the "pie" section of the forum? Hotlinking is rampant but I was more upset about all the hacking their were doing.

                              The one started as "Professional" is about 600 posts and it's all about hacking password sites (they did it a few times and then posted the links), detailed instructions on how to do it complete with word lists, how to become an adult webmaster and cheat sponsors, surfers, trades, etc.

                              Those Shits. Got my blood pressure up.

                                  Your getting a server error because hardcore
                                  only gave you part of the code. It should
                                  not end with a carriage return. http://www.lancs.ac.uk/people/cpaap/pfe/
                                  This is the URL of a free program editor.
                                  (download and install it then open the file)
                                  When you highlight your code in the htaccess
                                  youll see something that looks like a "top
                                  hat" on it's side. Thats a carriage return.
                                  Use your backspace and remove the very last carriage return.

                                      I really appreciate everybodys help

                                      Thanks a Bunch!!!

                                      I ended up writing my hosting company, and they put in a .htaccess file which took care of every thing! Just like that! Why didnt I do this months ago?

                                      Now if sombody trys to view a hotlinked image, they get redirected back to a URL of my choice. Can we say "Auto Dialer Download"



                                      Needs some really great hosting? Black Seven

                                      note: I do not work for Blackseven... Im just grateful for their kick ass hosting...so quit bothering them when I hurt your feelings... pussy

                                        Hey Sharkey,

                                        Why do you allow them to continue posting?

                                        "The forum kiddies link to a lot of stuff, usually from geocities accounts, but occasionally from sites like yours. If you want them taken down, you can just e-mail me and ask, I'd be happy to do it."

                                        First, I followed this thread to badass, and "pie" sounded just like a bunch of underage people posting copyrighted photos.

                                        You just admitted that you know that people are posting stolen images on your site.

                                        Why don't you just stop it? Ban their IP # if they hotlink. Pull the photos immediately. Why should a webmaster have to wait to be hit with a bill before you do anything?

                                          Well, first reason is because people leech of my bandwidth all the time, and I usually don't care. If it's something big I'll talk to the webmaster about it, but otherwise I let it slide.

                                          But primarily, it's just too much effort for something that's (so far) pissed off all of three people. Like I said, this stuff is usually through geocities accounts or personal websites. But since I don't make a dime off my site, and it's just a hobby, to police my forum and question the source of every single image that somebody linked to would take all damn day. And since I have a real job and a real life, I don't exactly have the time.

                                          Like I said, if anything pisses anyone off, they can come to me, and I'll remove it. Simple as that.

                                            The one started as "Professional" is about 600 posts and it's all about hacking password sites (they did it a few times and then posted the links), detailed instructions on how to do it complete with word lists, how to become an adult webmaster and cheat sponsors, surfers, trades, etc.

                                            Those Shits. Got my blood pressure up.

                                            Hey Sharkey,

                                            Your friend Bong_Weasel blasted a Trojan onto my Computer yesterday. I spent a good part of this Morning getting rid of it.

                                            This is the guy that wrote and posted a tutorial on how to hack Age Check Platinum sites.

                                            Does that Qualify?

                                                  Sharkey,

                                                  Do you think your forum has only pissed off 3 people? Think again. As word circulates and more webmasters trace their leaks back to you, you are going to have a shit load of webmasters pissed off.

                                                  Not that you should give a rat's ass about me, I don't know how to retaliate...but trust me, many do and they aren't going to care if you don't have the time or inclination to keep your underage little shits in line.

                                                      i had a guy hotlink my rx7 stuff off my racing page. he wouldnt take down the links, so i hotlinked his site on my freehost with 1.7M hits a day.

                                                      needless to say, his server blew up and was down for a few days. he is hosting his own images though

                                                        Geez people! Let it rest.

                                                        The last thing we need are server wars. A DOS attack could easily cost any of us a lot of money. Do you really think a kid who has nothing better to do than post hacking tutorial could really loose such a war?

                                                        Let's end this peacfully.

                                                        Just do what Hardcore Hosting suggested, and place some htaccess on your server. No more hotlinking. Of course it took me several months of loosing bandwidth before I did anything about it. But when I did...it took all of 5 minutes.

                                                        You can't fight fire with fire...when the other guy is an asonist


                                                        Needs some really great hosting? Black Seven

                                                        note: I do not work for Blackseven... Im just grateful for their kick ass hosting...so quit bothering them when I hurt your feelings... pussy

                                                          It wasn't the hotlinking I was disturbed about (no offense lol), it was the password hacking that got me angry. It was so blatant and pervasive...I know that it happens alot, it just made me angry seeing it.

                                                          Especially the AVS Gold/Platinum hacking. That is my territory. Others may be upset at the paysite stuff. All any of these kids had to do was ask this bong character to get them into so and so site and he would link back with the user name and password.

                                                          And then they started messing with my friend Elvis....
