How do i block fusker with .htaccess?
 

^---

order allow,deny
deny from 123.45.6.7
deny from 012.34.5.
deny from fusker.whoever.com
deny from .whoever.com
allow from all


will deny access for the full IP shown, the partial IP mask (012.34.5.*), the sub domain shown and anything at whoever.com

I don't know if this will work:

deny from fusker

Awesome, thanks!!

Uhm, does this also stop hotlinking of pictures?

I edited the post - added "." in front of whoever.com

Well, that will stop those entries from hotlinking pics :-)

Anyone from those entries won't see a damn thing.

Of course, if they are using tools that let them spoof the referer, nothing will work.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?18pluspics.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://216.130.168.161(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$ - [F,NC]


%haha123; is the oppostie of "}" - the opening bracket.

that stops hotlinking by referer. Change your domain and IP and it should work exactly as is.

Cant i redirect those hotlink requests to a popup hell? Or a goatse or something?

I dont want to disable hotlinking completely, just from Fusker...so i use the first code you posted right?

Use the hotlink prevention example and change the rewrite rule like this:

RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$ http://www.mydomain.com/nasty.gif [R,L]

You confuse me. Could you please just post the code i need to use....sorry.

Here's how I do it:

Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*.fusker* [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/images/hotlink.gif [R,NC]

Works like a charm for me.

P.S. And like another post in this thread %haha123; = the opposite of }

{

Thanks dude, gonna try it out now.

I added 49thParallel's to mine to show a full example. In this one, if it's from any fusker site, deny it any return hotlink.gif. Otherwise, just drop the request.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond {HTTP_REFERER} .*.fusker* [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$
http://www.yourdomain.com/images/hotlink.gif [R,NC]

RewriteCond {HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond {HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?18pluspics.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond {HTTP_REFERER} !^http://216.130.168.161(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$ - [F,NC]

The Options part in his post is dependent on the server config. It will NOT hurt anything to have it there. You just may not need it.

damn it.. I keep forgetting to turn off "automatically parse urls". I'm not gonna edit the last one :)

Its not working?? I copied it directly from here.

Actually it is, it just wont replace it with my pic of choice.

Make sure you have the leading ".*" after "RewriteRule" - the board messed up some formatting when I let it parse the urls....

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

Couple of possibilities:

a) Did you put the image in a "image" directory or just in the root html directory. (Sorry for asking..but it's a common mistake)

b) Try adding back in the Options code from my example. fusionx made a good call when he said that you might not need it. But, your server configuration may require it.

c) Make sure you follow the same order as shown by fusionx. If you switch the code that "denies all" before the fusker code, then it will take priority and no image will be shown.

d) Oh yah, and make sure that you replace "yourdomain" with the actual name of your domain.


Hope that helps.

Ok, whats wrong with this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond {HTTP_REFERER} .*.fusker* [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|bmp)$
http://www.teenportals.com/images/lars5.jpeg [R,NC]

Not sure if the board is doing this, or if it's the way you have it in your .htaccess...

make sure this is all on one line
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/images/hotlink.gif [R,NC]

Plus, does the image you are now substituting have a "jpeg" or "jpg" extension? I noticed in your example, it shows "jpeg".

If you normally use this file extension, then you will also want to be sure to add "jpeg" into the code, as shown by my example. Otherwise, these files will be free to be hotlinked at will.

only thing I can see - if they are hotlinking to .jpeg files, you'll need to add that to the list

(jpg|gif|bmp|jpeg)

etc...

It just wont work man...im gonna ask my hosting guy when hes online....thanks for the help, appreciate it.

Make sure you clear your cache out before checking it. I have been caught out before with this when blocking sites with htaccess

Hey guys, I'm no expert on this myself but I see You're not noticing one thing:

The board rewrites the opening bracket with this "haha"-shit as we all have noticed...
What You seem to miss is that the "%" sign ISN'T a board rewrite! It's supposed to be in the code!

Line quoted from Battuss' post:
"RewriteCond haha123;HTTP_REFERER} .*.fusker* [NC]"

I'm gonna replace the correct brackets with "[" and "]" here to bypass the boards rewrites, check this out:

"RewriteCond %[HTTP_REFERER] .*.fusker* [NC]"

See what I mean now? The percent-sign SHOULD be there, it's not part of the board rewrite.

Simplier put, the opening equivalent of "}" is rewritten by the board as "haha123;" and not "%haha123;"...
so don't strip out the "%" in Your code!

Do a quote on someone's post with code in it & look carefully...

Cheers! :glugglug




Edit: for even more simplicity:
all "RewriteCond"-lines should look like this BEFORE the first bracket:

"RewriteCond %"

Good catch! I totally missed that..

Beautiful!!!

They won't bother you again..

Haha, nice!

I see it worked out finally :)
