If you think you're good, figure out how to do this and earn $50!

Fucktard Joe is hotlinking one of your images by img srcing your pic straight into his page.
He is not - I repeat - is NOT linking to your image, he is pulling it into his page so that it displays on HIS site.

Normal .htaccess rules in this situation would give you two options - display a broken image in his page (as we see so often here at GFY), or display an alternate image in his page (like those lovely 'this image hosted by Angelfire' graphics you see so much when you're surfing mainstream).

However, I have SEEN it done so that rather than loading an alternate image or displaying the broken image symbol, the fucktard's page will suddenly refresh or redirect to a page (yes, an entire URL) of YOUR choosing.
Don't tell me it can't be done, I've seen it done. I just can't figure out HOW.

I'll give $50 to the first person who can post the correctly working code in this thread (I must be able to test it and verify that it works before awarding the $50). Money will come by PayPal so include your PayPal addy with the working code.
This code must work for *any* image someone tries to hotlink in this manner, not just one specific image that you name in the .htaccess script (or combo .htaccess with PHP, etc.)
If all we can come up with is a specific image that you have to specify, that's only worth half as much - $25.

Let the headaches begin! :

ErrorDocument 404 http://link.to.fille.that/fucks/shit/up

[Why]

or for the $25 you can do

ErrorDocument 404 http://image.src/image.jpg

Got burnt hundreds of gig BW in 3 days from some asshole aswell. I'll bookmark this thread!

[Mr.Fiction]

You're saying that you want a hotlinked image to refresh the page that it is hotlinked on to a page on your site?

Can you show an example of a site that you've seen do that?

[Carrie]

Why, read over the challenge again
We don't want to give them a different image, we want to redirect them completely.
Doing the ErrorDocument 404 thing only works if they're linking *to* the image, not if they pulling the image straight into their page.

[ztik]

uh, if they are using "img src" tags there is no possible way to do that.

[Digipimp]

Hmm I think I might know, let me see.

I find a slap on top of the computer works well

Yeppers, that's what I'm wanting to do.
Unfortunately I can't show you a site that I've seen do it, when I saw it done it was in December of 1997.
If I could find a page that did it now I'd write the site owner and ask them directly rather than offering money to figure it out. ;)

Taking a magnet to the mofo works even better

[Mr.Fiction]

The only time I remember someone posting some way to do something like this was when the image was being called on their own server and they somehow had the server set up to parse a file with a .jpg extension as a script, or something like that.

It doesn't seem like you could do it on someone else's server.

Maybe I'm wrong, though.

[Carrie]

I am thinking that *maybe* you could do it with a combination of .htaccess and PHP somehow? Maybe parse a dynamic page as an image in some way? Arrgh

Actually I do remember gfy being bashed around a bit from redirected imgsrc traffic. not sure if it was the same thing though.

[Why]

im sure apache.org has links to all kidns of info on the subject

[Carrie]

Mr Fiction that might be the direction to go in, seriously.
Since the image is being called from *my* server, then I can parse an image as a script or a script as an image or whatever I need to do in order to get it done.
I just need to know what to do. ;)

[michaelw]

see sig

my program easily stops guys that try to insert images into their site

[Mr.Fiction]

Check out this thread:

http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...threadid=98047

Since the image is hosted off my server, whenever it is loaded from another one, I get the referring information and parse it apart. To make it appear as an image using a jpg tag, I use a rewrite on my server toredirect the request to the PHP script. I suppose to make it clean I should return a JPG to throw people off a little.

[michaelw]

you cannot redirect a site that has img src'ed your image

if they link to the image, or have the image load up in a browser, then it can be done.

whatever data yousend to replace the image with something else, the browser will interpret it as the image itself

[Carrie]

Checking it out, Mr Fiction *plays the "Please Hold" music*

[Carrie]

Okay he *is* doing it with a PHP script and parsing the PHP as an image, which is really useful, but he doesn't post the code and it doesn't refresh to a page.
Close, but no cigar. Dangit.

if you can show me a page that does this, ill be extremely surprised

i am 99% sure that this cannot be done if the image is img src'ed

can you imagine?

if the hun tries to img src someone and there was a way to redirect the user to another page...

[psyko514]

RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg)$ http://www.doman.com [R,NC]

[graphicdude]

Try the code generator HERE

It has the URL redirect you mentioned

Best of luck

[Carrie]

Believe me MichaelW, I'd love to know how it was done.
The person who got this done back in 1997 was a guy named Maverick. I don't remember what porn site he ran, just that he got it done when someone was hotlinking one of my images in this manner along with about 20 images from various other mainsteam and adult domains (one of images was coming off of Maverick's site).
I emailed everyone the original fucktard was hotlinking in this manner, Maverick told me he'd get it taken care of. Within the hour the fucktard's page was refreshing right to Maverick's site.

Maybe he just hacked the fucktard's domain but I don't think so.

Nope psyko, that's just the one that redirects if people link *to* the image (or if folks go straight to the image in their browser), not if someone img src's the picture in their own page.

GraphicDude, same thing. Tried all 4 of the configuration options on that site and they only work if someone links *to* your image.

[michaelw]

there are 2 ways to redirect
1) headers
2) a redirect via the html file (meta refresh/java/whatever)

1 will not work, as headers for the page are already sent. you cannot redirect the site once the page is loaded, since headers are already received. if you redirect via a header for the image, lets say to http://www.site.com/, then http://www.site.com will be img src'ed.

2 will not work, as since the tag is <img..>, the browser will interpret any data sent as the image; and not as html

[michaelw]

also, since it was 1997, the browsers from the time interpreted the data sent from an image tag differently.. that is the only way i can think of to get the result you saw.

todays browsers interpret data sent to be displayed in an image tag as an image and nothing else, perhaps older ones did not, or responded to data sent differently to an img tag.

[Carrie]

How about if rather than redirecting/refreshing, it instructed the browser to open a new browser window(like popping a console)?

Can that be done? If so, that would work well enough to satisfy me and make my headache go away, LOL

[ztik]

Carrie,

There is no possible way for the browser to do anything but display it as an image file. If he/she isn't using width or height tags, you could try making a full screen image with your url and or site name on it. That would maybe pull some extra visitors and make your stolen bandwidth worth while.

Have a good day

[SpaceAce]

Carrie,
You can't redirect with IMG tags*. Not anymore, at least. What you can do is create a really enormous graphic (say, 3,000x3,000) and use .htaccess to point at that when someone tries to pull an image off your server. That will massively inconvenience the hotlinker and his surfers. Just make the image a pure white background and the filesize will be tiny.

SpaceAce
* Anyway, I can't think of any methods that would work.

[stevecore]

carrie... where in virginia? NoVA?

[richard]

Don't tell me it can't be done

It can't be done.

There used to be an IE bug that let you insert hahahahahahahahahaha into a page, via an img tag, but that was closed by MS in 2000/2001.

No way it can be done now.

[YouKnowYouWantIt!]

What Carrie is proposing is very possible, and the trick has been around for years. The thing is, nobody just gives it away, and you have to make it up yourself or have really good connections.

So don't tell the poor girl it is not possible. That is wrong.

[YouKnowYouWantIt!]

You are a lying skank. I do this trick on a regular basis.

[Eve]

Here would be the gist, not fully detailed, but you'll figure it out.

create a php file and add htaccess entries so that his referer sees it as "image.jpg" or whatever

put data in like
"Content-type: image/jpeg" etc etc to load as an image



something like this should take care of the meta-refresh

CODE REMOVED...contact me directly

next, you'll want some nasty script to start the 'ol popup hell

let me know how it works out

BTW...you can paypal me the $50

And in addition, I believe html posting will soon be disable on GFY

That Does it.. but it's not what the original challenge was.. Do that to someone who's hotlinking an image.. you can't edit their HTML!

Why not? Unless I misunderstood the challenge...the image(script) HAS to be loaded by the offender..thereby making this a valid solution...right?

Don't worry, Eve! He is just a skanky fucktard jealous of your skill.

This is the same skank that admittedly hitbots other sites and cheats sponsors, so don't put too much value in his words.

Here's the challenge...

Website A Hotlinks an image from Website B.

ie: this code is on website A... < img src="http://websiteb.com/images/jennifer_lopez_nude.jpg" >

Website B's bandwidht goes through the roof.

So the challenge is... How does Webmaster B, start redirecting ALL of website A's traffic. So that any surfer who simply loads the page on Website A, immediately gets redirected to Website B's Sponsor.

I don't think it can be done, with a simple "img" tag. Since the browser is expecting an image, anything else it gets will result in a broken image.

You are wrong. Watch me redirect this thread in 5 minutes using the code I mentioned.

That's not an img tag.. I saw how you did it, and that requires access to the HTML code on website A... I'll hotlink an image of yours on one of my domains.. you try to steal the traffic.. deal?

[Eve]

Bring it on...I love challenges!

[Mr.Fiction]

Why doesn't someone do it on this thread if you can?

Link to an image on your server that redirects or pops a console. I'm sure Lensman won't mind if it's all in the name of a contest.

OK Eve,

I'm hotlinking your sig file which is a .php file.. that should make it a little easier. ;)

Here's the page that's hotlinking.

http://www.paycounter.com/kc/index.html

try to pull a surfer that's loading that page to a page of your choice.
