damn that "fusker.com" motherfucker
 

why hasn't someone dos'd that guy to death yet?

because he keeps moving servers.

if everyone would block him, it would die.

Good question Gleem. Every day he lives is another dollar out of our pockets.

beautiful :thumbsup

Manowar, that method for blocking fusker is just NOT effective at all. There are literally hundreds of domains out there using fusker software, with the URL is all sort of different layouts and designs. It isn't easy to block individual domains that way.

I locked my servers down on this fool a little while ago, as well as Xanga and a few others. With some help from friends, I have found a good combination that really works.

Alex

Here is a method ... I tried it and it worked for my domains. E-mail [email protected] and tell him to remove your domains from his database. List all your domains. Let him know you plan on sueing if he don't ... it worked for me ... try it out.

To be fair, if you don't know how to .htaccess you should'nt be a webmaster

Yeah. I was just trying to help any newbies who are getting hit by the main one. Fusker can't really completely be solved with .htaccess

You can block all domains but your own when you use .htaccess, whats the problem here?

Manowar, thanks for that. One question, I am a newbie when it comes to htaccess, what domain do I insert for http://BLAHDOMAIN.com and http://DOMAIN.com in that htaccess file?

and should I create a completely seperate htaccess file for fusker, or should I just paste this htacess code on a htaccess file that I already have on my server?

Thanks!

Blah domain becomes any other domain you want to be able to hotlink you from. Domain because your domain

umm... anti-hotlinking?

set up to block all hot linking. The more we do this the sooner he is out of business.

Exactly. The incompetence of some "webmasters" is astounding.

you guys, if you deal in high traffic free sites, with heavy scripting, every line of htaccess rewrite eats away at your server load, the longer the list the more time it takes to check each line when it goes to serve up a single image or graphic. I allow people to hotlink for viral marketing purposes except when a fucker comes along tossing 10mbps of traffic on me it fucks up the whole plan.

I've been a webmaster longer than you A&H and I don't know who the fuck cambaby is, but fuck you too buddy, you're BLOG SUCKS DONKEY DICK :thumbsup

What she said.

right cambaby

Manowar: Fusker (and it's variants) can be pretty much eliminated with good htaccess and an eye on the bandwidth meters... when you start getting hit again, look at what they are doing now (like changing the names of their sites and software). My feeling is that if you work a little bit at it, you can make it less desirable and less likely you will be hit.

In my mind the sponsors who pay fusker's owners every month are the source of the problem, source of the funding.

PS: as an aside, I have been sending my fusker traffic all to ******* and her friends... it is amazing how quickly they give up.

Alex

I am a webmaster and I don´t know about .htaccess

yes fusker fuck you

lol, do you have any idea who gleem is? he is one of the most seasoned and probably in the top 10% of the top webmasters I know of. Damn some people have no idea on this board what the fuck is going on!

You have a solution. If you don't use it, your fault. Raises the load on the servers? Buy better servers. I understand what you are saying, but the costs, long term, of hotlinking, outweigh the benefits.

Gleem, while every line of htaccess slows you system SLIGHTLY, the effects of a fusker hotlink can just about drain your system completely. It's all about what you lose and what you gain. I have pretty much completely removed fusker from my life in less than 10 lines in a global htaccess, which will soon be moved right into the apache config. Just taking that action took off about 1000kbs off one of my servers that WASN'T BEING ACTIVELY HOTLINKED (not enough of a traffic spike to notice).

Think about it.

Alex

that rocks. thank for the link :thumbsup

yep, we should all take actions against him :disgust

i use the block everyone code with exception of sites that can hotlink (like gfy and SE's and shit)
plus i got some folders i allow for all to hotlink with my banners in it and shit

Why does everybody get so pissed about fusker? Not trying to be an ass, but maybe I'm missing something. We constantly get hotlinked from fusker, and although a lot of it comes up as 404 since they are trying to hotlink some photos that aren't listed in the same folder as the others I see it all as traffic. The url isn't being removed from the photo, so I look at that as advertising....no different than having it on a TGP. Sure, there's a ton of people with no intentions of buying anything and just getting free porn, but evertime I list a gallery the same thing happens. From what I see, the only thing he has ever listed are photos from my free galleries, which always have the site name and url anyway, so no harm done as far as I can see. And if somebody stumbles across some photos they really like and join the site (which I'm sure happens) than I'm a happy camper! When I create a gallery, I consider that content I'm giving away and as long as somebody doesn't remove the watermarks that I put on all free photos, they're advertising for the site and they can share them all they want. Everything else I keep in the members area and if that ever gets hotlinked or posted, then I have a problem. Am I missing something here?

Hey Guys.....glad you said it before I did. Here Here!!!

BTW......you and Liv still coming down here to do some photo shotts with me. I have a few extra bedrooms. :)

What is so fair about that Cambaby? Is that a requirement in the universal book of webmasters where you live? I do just fine with my knowledge and some of us no things others don't.......sharing information is one of the main purposes of a webmaster / webmistress message board.

XOXOXO
*Krystal*

Lots of htaccess info - comipled from numerous sources. Maybe more than anyone wants.

http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=413223

Thanks for the thread link Fusion, very informative. I recently learned some htaccess to set up my 404 error page. All my help was gotten from gfy which was my point. I didn't mean to come off as a bitch but knowing or not knowing a bit of information does not qualify one as or as not a webmaster/webmistress. I have helped many webmasters here with things that I know from 7 years of experience and others have helped me. :)

XOXOXO

Whats your website I need some content for my shitty blog :thumbsup

Welcome. Can we have sex now? :thumbsup

The way we did it was to create a .htaccess that blocks all domains except our own. It is inside of every TGP folder that is in our folders (after all, our pictures are in those folders, so those are the ones that we needed to protect from the fucker)

I do the opposite. I block all hotlinking at the root level, then put a blank .htaccess in any folder I want to allow hotlinking from. Either blank, or simply without the lines to drop the image requests.

WTF? I dont give a flying fuck who Gleem is, at this point he looks like a whining ass noob. So stop defending him mommy. Read the title of this board :321GFY

Who's fusker and I assume he's hotlinking images?

Wilder, the issue is that for free site owners, the images will have the SPONSOR'S logo on them, not your URL. So right away, free site owners are 100% losers.

Even if the content is tagged, these people are NOT porn buyers... they have gone out of their way to get stuff free by the buckload (basically, all the images from your site on a single page without banners), and there is no way for people to click to or visit your site any any manner. There is very very little potential for income from this stuff.

However, if fusker gets ahold of some bigger images, they can pull down 7 - 10 mps all by themselves.

So why allow them even to see your stuff?

Alex

Fusionx she is a hottie, so that was a good question.

Camcutie. Dont forget. that the people that say things like that are also the ones making a billion dollars a month.

Oh yeah.....I forgot. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

go fuck yourself and your stupid sex blog NOOB

I'll sign it twice :winkwink:

blah, I'm not gonna defend my "nubidom" or my bad experiences with htaccess both in individual folder and in the servers config file.

thanks triumph, it's amazing what some newbie who have 10k posts in 4 months on this board automatically consider themselves veterans, players, whatever...

says the one who cannot even afford to host a couple images in his own server :thumbsup

What the fuck are you talking about? Why use my bandwidth when I can use other resources available, you see people hosting galleries on free servers all the time. I also am not stupid enough to host a shitload of galleries UNPROTECTED from hotlinking.

Stop blaming fusker etc, protect your shit and no one will jack you. It really is as simple as that, I mean come on now you are just being whiny and difficult.

haha, wait till you find out why they let you host your images there... I could tell you, but can't wait to see the threads you post when you find out :1orglaugh

They make money off the ads gleem, still I am making money too, the profit margin on my site is almost 100%. Very little cost. Now who is the fool?
