GFY is under attack
 

We are currently under major image source attack.
The site http://www.elepantlist.com/ is image sourceing
http://crazygals.com/gal/050320022/index116.html
this site is opening GFY. We are working on the probelm, but for now the board is running slow.

I knew something was up when the site redirected me to the same address. Get those bastards yo :ak47:

So just block access from that url with htaccess ... ?

It's a 404 redirect, it won't work.

We have blocked it, but it still creates a load on the server. Until we blocked it, GFY was down.

well then lets get a couple of the big webmasters together and fuck the bastards :)

You sure its not Aaron in the back chewing on your router?

Cant you block it at your router?

I am assuming that the culprit here is elephantlist for sourcing the crazygals page.

Last year sometime I had a very similar problem with this site. He was image sourcing a bunch of stuff off of my tour causing my bandwidth to skyrocket. It was so bad I had to throttle my own site so that the server wouldn't crash.

I had to go so far as to contact his hosting company which at the time was flying crocodile and sent both him and them a cease and desist order.

You would think he would have learned from that incident but apparently he did not.

Your best bet I would think would be to contact the hosting company and mention the legal ramifications of bandwidth theft. They should quickly put a stop to it then

it's exactly the same situation when hun image sourced a site that loaded gofuckyourself

good old times!!

Want to see a DOS attack?

I have 40 servers and a 10GIG pipe..

Just say the word.. I can fuck em good!

Give me the IP addresses.

That is really shitty of the person doing it.
I hope you straighten them out but good.

I will participate in the revenge operation - i can provide you with a million chinese cocksuckers a day :)

Let the bandwidth :feels-hot BURN :feels-hot

Mike I wrote Hoffman at Elephantlist the minute I hung up with you, I cc the letter to you and lensman. It isnt Elephantlist doing it to you its the guy hes trying to fuck that is redirecting the traffic to GFY. Hoffman just wrote me back and its stopped. Hoffman is a very good guy. this was done to get back at some scum that was cheating him, and not GFY.
Thanks & Glad to Help.

If you want to fuck them back really hard, find a resource intensive URL on their server, and img src it 100 times from one page.. to make it actually load instead of just using the cached copy, append a dummy query string. Like so:

<img src="http://you'redead.com/big.gif?a">
<img src="http://you'redead.com/big.gif?b">
<img src="http://you'redead.com/big.gif?c">
<img src="http://you'redead.com/big.gif?d">
<img src="http://you'redead.com/big.gif?e">
<img src="http://you'redead.com/big.gif?f">
<img src="http://you'redead.com/big.gif?g">
<img src="http://you'redead.com/big.gif?h">
<img src="http://you'redead.com/big.gif?i">

and so on...

Oooh.. too late 8-)

Hoffmann and Elephantlist has always been 100% cool and 100% honest with us. I emailed him about this too and I'm sure he will take care of it.

i fucked em both

.. yeah and remember who was resposible for the misery ? :thumbsup

why do people re-direct to GFY of all places?
I dont get it?

because they love GFY

That explains a lot ...

If you want the most webmaster attention, you have to go where the most webmasters are...:winkwink:

hmmm.
I guess so...
It works.

Lots of people are irratated with elephantlist now, and he didnt even mean for this to happen.

hehe,

I suppose, I was abit aggrivated that I couldnt get here but Hoffman is a nice guy with the couple of emails I had with him,
kinda funny this happened in a way, I just wish he didnt want his galleries so squeeky fucken clean, that the only thing that irratates me...

DOS Hoffman and his sites back:ak47: :ak47: :ak47:

This Sucks :(


Get them Bastards

And I thought something weird was going on when I got a page that said fuck off dick head, or something like that..lol

Yes but he still tried to fuck over the owner of crazygals.com

So maybe the guy pulled a gallery or whatever he may have done. Elephantlist can ban the guy & no longer post his galleries, but it doesn't give him the right to img src from crazygals site.

Let's assume that crazygals is on a shared server and because of elephantlist's tactics this causes other sites on the box to run slow or crash. Then you have other webmasters losing money and their billing companies losing money as well.

So in essence elephantlist's effort to try and fuck over crazygals could wind up fucking over other site owners and billing companies as well

I think that's a special page that comes up just for you...

Good point!

Hoffman (elephant list) is a good and reputable guy. I really doubt he's at fault here. Get your facts straight before forming a lynch mob against him, he has a LOT of HIGH TRAFFIC friends that WILL stand up for him and we get pissed off when he gets accused of crap he's not really responsible for.

Sleazy, explain to me what is "good and reputable" about maliciously attempting to shut down someones server by img srcing from their site?

I don't know who the owner of crazygals.com is and frankly it really doesn't matter much but if you look at the gallery url that was 404'd and change the index numbers you can see that he is likely using some sort of autosubmitter judging by how the buttons are laid out on the page and the numbering system

examples:
http://crazygals.com/gal/050320022/index115.html
http://crazygals.com/gal/050320022/index117.html

Those are the gallery URL's preceding and following the one that was 404'd

My best guess is that the owner of crazygals fucked up somehow and the gallery was 404'd. But for sake of arguement let's assume that crazygals did do something to cheat elephantlist in some way. That still does not give him the right to do what he did.

This is Hoffman's MO too as he has done this in the past. Whether or not he may be a good guy to other or if he has boatloads of traffic none of that really matters.

Let's say you owned a store and one of your suppliers fucked you over in some way. That doesn't give you the right to set his offices on fire does it? Bad analogy maybe, but hell its late here LOL.

All I am saying is that what he did is flat out wrong and it not only effected the intended recipient but other sites as well as GFY felt the brunt of this attack.

i just searched the source code of elephant list and couldn't find any imc src of the sites you mentioned?

This exact same thing came up here roughly 6 months ago - Elephantlist image sourcing someone who screwed him in some way. It was a DOS attack then, it's one now. His host is in the US, crazygals dude should report the fucker and threaten to sue the ISP if they don't stop it. That'll get his dumb ass shut down fast.

Just because some of you vigilante types think that he's a "cool guy" and he must be justified, doesn't make it legal.

It's not legal when the Hun does it either. Fuck him with the law, he's no better than a little script kiddie, he's just got a bigger stick.

EDIT: I remember who he was image sourcing - it was "juicylinks" for not wanting his traffic and redirecting it after elephant list "picked up" one of his galleries. GFY no longer seems to have the thread, or my search skillz just suck.

man you guys are quick to blame and short on proof. Sad.

If making statements like you are against someone you'd think you'd have enough brains to at least take a copy of the source code to PROVE it - or some other form of proof..................
Oh right, this is the NEW america. Assumed guilty and one has to PROVE their innocence.


at LEAST have the brains to back up DAMAGING statements like that with proof or you just make yourself look like a dumbass.

I would say that Mike is probably a disinterested party, has no motivation to lie, and has the technical expertise to determine what's going on. Most likely the img src was removed, as I don't see it.

But, it was probably there, as he HAS done this before.

Cheers,
Backov

WHat I don't understand is was it image sourcing or was it just a gallery he listed that got re-directed to GYF?

Hey.. isnt that tawnee stone
http://crazygals.com/gal/050320022/index115.html

This guys not even pushing lightspeed..

That is tawnee stone alright.. hey space dog ICQ me please..

54866383

Yeah thats her. Lightspeed sells content though thru http://www.coconutcontent.com/ I think the Tawnee content was for sale before they turned it into a solo girl site.

Sleazy and the rest of you. Read Lightning's post. It's over, he talked to Hoffman and the traffic from the img src was stopped hours ago.

Is anyone else having problems posting? Only about 1 in 5 of my attempted posts go through....won't it be ironic if this post does and the following ones don't?

I don't care what the situation is, absolutely NOTHING justifies this lame IMG SRC attack that tgp owners like to do. Many innocent people get hurt in the process, if a site is on a virtual box, all the other customers on there get hurt, potentially everyone on that ISP gets hurt, and in this case GFY got hurt. If you have a problem with someone, DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THEM! Write some good scripts and DON'T LINK TO THEM! It isn't that hard to blacklist someone.

Very good point about the virtual hosting axxxis!!!

Think about it MrHun and MrElephant
