Damn Hotlinkers!

I had a standard .htaccess file that I thought would prevent hotlinkers but apparently it didn't because when I checked my stats I noticed one site in Korea was hitting me to the tune of 25K a day! I then added a line to block that specific url which seemed to work but I was also accidentally blocking genuine surfers and pissing off a few link list and tgp owners too

Anway I've trimmed the file down now to just block the one url and hopefully that will work but it's not the best soluton. I know .htaccess isn't perfect and it will block surfers who's browser/proxy/firewall doesn't pass a valid referer so what the heck should I do?

How do you guys handle hotlinkers without blocking valid sufers?

Thanks

Lux

Speaking of hotlinking, what are you guys using to prevent movie hotlinking but still get listed on the MGPs?

I don't want to use the http://www.antihotlinking.com script, because it blocks hotlinking on the entire server & sometimes I *do* need to hotlink (thumbnails for toplists, picposts etc.)

ahl can be configured to protect whatever file types you choose to protect based on the filename extension. You can configure it protect just .wmv and .mpg and let mod_rewrite rules in .htacess or your apache configuration handle the images.

You can use htaccess to protect MPGs, but not WMV movies.

My help page. Go near the bottom for htaccess info

Example htaccess file

I wrote this new script that when hotlinkers look at one of my hotlinked pics they either signup for my program or go blind. |bat|

I've started adding a 2nd set of rules to my htaccess file becasue some sites are getting past the normal htaccess


RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://.*YOUR-DOMAIN-HERE/* [NC]
RewriteRule .*[jJ][pP][gG]$|.*[gG][iI][fF]$|.*[pP][nN][gG]$ http://die-like-a-stuck-pig.com

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.*count-password.com/* [NC]
RewriteRule .*[jJ][pP][gG]$|.*[gG][iI][fF]$|.*[pP][nN][gG]$ http://die-like-a-stuck-pig.com


You may notice the 2nd RewriteCond does not have the ! which means not equal if that helps it make sense. This is how I block the smater sites and it's been working well for me so far.
