NEw fusker = ixtractor.com -> impossible to stop from hotlinking !
They are burning my bandwith and maybe yours...
Forget the .htaccess it doesn't work ! HERE's WHY I have .htaccess installed + LinkSentinel. It is not effective. I contacted webair 4 times regarding this. Looks like they can't stop them. I wonder if they really care... More bandwith burned = More $$ for them ! :Oh crap Didn't you notice a significant increase in your bandwith bill ? You didn't care because you have hotlink protection + password sharing protection ? SO WHAT ? Surfers now don't care if you are TRYING to protect from hotlinkg with .htaccess, by setting their browser's HeaderReferer to 0, they still can burn your bandwith. |
I know very little about .htaccess, but can't you just block those with no header referrer?

Problem is that you will block 20% of your surfers... Many Firewall and anti-virus now sets Header Referer to 0 by default. |
lolol -- CLASSIC -- :1orglaugh 2hp |
no offense to CHMOD...but hahah @ gfy being referral
HERE COMES SURFER TRAFFIC |

There are 98% of bullshitters here... But it would be nice if the rest could work to find something against this shit. |
He forgot Opera.
In Opera, hit F12 (Quick Prefs), uncheck "Enable Referrer Logging" |
Uhm, just deny no referrers, people. This isn't rocket science. This is entirely off the cuff, so if it shits on you, sorry.
RewriteRule %{HTTP_REFERER} ^$ RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jp(?e)g)$ http://yourserver.com/no.gif [NC, R] [Tard Edit: As mentioned above, this will fuck people who don't send referers, but they generally do this on purpose..] |
good diddeal

He decided that isn't a valid option for his needs since it will also block 20% of his legit visitors. |

i suggest using a key to rename the folder the pics reside in everyday , but of course the pages that use the pics would have to be built around the same structure. wouldnt be hard to build really
|
plus as mentioned that "no referrer " traffic your worried about prob aint buying anything anyways

I am maybe missing something here... If a legit surfer with Norton installed is trying to visit my website. He's coming, let's say from Google. Won't my .htaccess block him in this case ? And why would that surfer be a non buyer ? |
post an url to a hotlink protected pic and ill show you how to get around it..

I don't know which programs do/don't, but I do see a very significant amount (20-25%) on my mainstream site who don't pass referrers even to the image files within the site. |
this will block them
put your pictures in a sub directory under the galleries directory, put a htaccess in the sub directory and use referring url,in the htaccess put the referring url as your doman name |
# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -s 64.105.122.0/24 -d 0/0 -j DROP

Few months ago I did an addon for one of my clients, something similar to what smokey suggested, for one of my clients. Basicaly, it rotates image folder every hour (can me more or less frequent).
F.x. That's the current image link http://static01.vapshare.com/f868ed4...54/126835.jpeg You may check it out at http://www.vapshare.com/126835/40791...ottest105.html Far more effective than htaccess+referrer :2 cents: |
I would redirect the non ref requests to *******
they'll remove your images in a sec |
Couple of solutions...
1) Rotate your image filenames periodically 2) Set a cookie on your thumb/gallery page and require it to be present to load a full sized image |
Did you try the link at the top
"Webmasters, if you would like your site removed from iXtracor please contact us." |
If you can't beat 'hem, join 'hem
Shit i want this software !!! |

I won't even mention who the two major money makers are on that site (but if I did, they would be AFF and Adbrite... always the same two companies on sites like these for some reason).
Hotlinking is an acceptable business practice? |

There is something I am missing here... If, in example, I am using Ixtractor to view my pics now. It will hotlink the pictures wherever they are... Now if the script changes the image folder name in, let's say 30 minutes... When someone will use Ixtractor in 35 minutes he will simply see hotlinked images from the new named folder won't he ? |
Quote:
Awesome ! How did you do ? EDIT : Looks like you just bloked non header referer browser... When I visit this gallery with my Firefox browser : I don't see any images either... |

Blocknig non-header referer just means that 20% of your real surfers won't get any images either. Not really a good way to do things.
The best way to do things is to complain directly to the sponsors that are paying for this site to stay up, as well as reporting them to their host, and so on up the line. You might even drop a dime on them to the DoJ about 2257 documents. I somehow doubt they have a single piece of 2257 for any model on their site. |
nothing is impossible. it can be blocked, i'm sure of it.

hahahaha i love this one :1orglaugh |
spam/bombard them until they block your domain :)
|
...sorry for the japanese, but this will solve any of those problems
Code:
<img src="/display.php?id=34" border="0"> then Code:
<? |

Setting a cookie or otherwise burdening your machine for your regular customers is just another cost of this type of theft. Why tolerate the theft? Why allow the sponsors to keep paying these people?
I have sent emails and messages to adbrite, AFF, and others on this issue, I will be interested to hear the comments back. |
bump for this

What about IE6 wich doesn't allow cookies by default ? Quote:
I don't know if it works but I surely can't do this myself.. I don't know shit about PHP... If it is the only solution, I'll have to hire someone. |
why not just change the rewrite rules to umm... not allow blank referers from mozilla? I dunno something like that
|
something like this might work:
Code:
RewriteEngine On |

I am no programmer but this is the kind of .htaccess code I was waiting for... Don't know if it will be effective tough... |

All that nonsense about constantly renaming your folders, and redirecting non-ref-url traffic.. do any of you guys discussing this actually submit free sites or galleries? jeeez.... |
Quote:
so at least replace Code:
$query="SELECT mime, file FROM images WHERE id=".$_GET["id"]; Code:
$query="SELECT mime, file FROM images WHERE id=".mysql_real_escape_string($_GET["id"]); |
OK, this js shit works - no dbase no nothing, just javascript. Call it from an iframe or whatever you want...not sure, but prolly able to call it as a header to all images from htaccess....either way the code works and is simple
Code:
<script language=javascript> |
a firewall?
