Any good ideas on how to shut down this leech site?

hmm
 

good luck getting them closed down...
just wait till you get fuskered and you will really hate leeches.

you can block them with HTACCESS, im not positive how, cleo can help you out there. i have CPanel on my websites and i use that to block leech sites.

Re: hmm
 

What does fuskered mean? Sofar my traffic has just forced me to upgrade my hostingplan =$$
And my signups are still as low as ever, no wonder...........
I found a link http://www.htmlbasix.com/disablehotlinking.shtml
which can make the htaccess files. Took me a while to figure out & test it, though.

Yeah - what does fuskered mean?

hmm
 

http://fusker.lewww.com/

one of the biggest leeches on the internet. somebody fuskered 30+ free sites of mine, i found out the next day after 17 gigs of bandwidth had been used up (is less then 24 hours)

alot of people here have been fuskered, you can only tell from stats that review the raw log, you wont know if you have been fuskered if you use a simple counter.

Oh that's just what I needed..
How do I report this guy?
How do I stop him from using my photos???
I've tried http://www.htmlbasix.com/disablehotlinking.shtml
but the pictures can still be seen at his page??
Please help me as soon as possible, I'm running out of money for bandwidth!!

Can you guys see my pictures at this url?
http://fusker.lewww.com/index.php?li...query=sensual&

It should be protected, but I'm not sure yet.

Do a search on this board for fusker. There is a thread just about this from a few days ago that you should find most helpful.

Nope, just broken image symbols.

Then why can I still see them? Even opening when opening new links, they still show up.
Anyone have a full htaccess file I can use?

This is how it looks at the moment:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?sensual-ladies.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?catyxxx.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.+\.(jpg|JPG|JPEG|jpeg|png|gif)$ - [NC,F,L]

But I need to know how it should look exactly to lock out certain sites.

7hom4s

you can still see the images because they are in your browsers cache, clear your browsers cache and you should see they dont show up. they were broken for me also.

I tried clearing it, trying again. Did you check in both mozilla & explorer? In my mozilla they don't show up, but in explorer, they do.

And thanks for your help guys

Hey man,

I use this .htaccess to protect from hotlinking:

##
SetEnvIf Referer ^http://free-pussysite.com let_me_in
SetEnvIf Referer ^http://www.free-pussysite.com let_me_in

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from env=let_me_in
##

I put this in my images dir. For instance try to open this:

http://www.free-pussysite.com/glamgi...age_tgp003.jpg

It should redirect you to my 404.html, but if you open it thru here it works:

http://www.free-pussysite.com/glamgi.../gallery1.html

I hope that's useful

Well, your htaccess is the first one sofar, I've found that will block fuskers site from accessing my pictures. But if I write it:

##
SetEnvIf Referer ^http://sensual-ladies.com let_me_in
SetEnvIf Referer ^http://www.sensual-ladies.com let_me_in
SetEnvIf Referer ^http://www.www.catyxxx.com let_me_in
SetEnvIf Referer ^http://catyxxx.com let_me_in

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from env=let_me_in
##

Then I can't enter the gallerylink to my own site either?

Broken images in ie and firefox. Using IE I found out that I got a little spyware or some shit like that. Opens a couple of windows with tgp´s from sweden, free6.se for example. AdAware, spybot and another removal tool don´t find this little crap.

Add all url´s or IP´s that shall get access to your pics.

How do I do this? I want to have the tgps send me traffic & I would never have a chance of guessing which ip's their surfers have?

My basic htaccess file seems to be working fine, except for fuskers site. How do you get this creep off your back??

You´ll have to add all url´s that shall be able to access your directory. So you needn´t know the IP adresses of your surfers. But it should work with IP adresses, too.

Hmmm okay... Just have to figure out how. Isn't there a way of blocking certain urls instead?

7hom4s

You shouldn't block certain URLs or IPs :) Creating a file that will block hotlinking from all sites will kill you :) I mean really kill you, you'll die and still won't complete the list ;))

You're protecting yourself based on the referer URL. Now, this is the URL of the page the surfer came from. So if it's not from any of the domains listed above - he won't be able to access the site.

Remeber 2 things:
1. You should put the .htaccess file in the images dir ONLY or you block access to your .html files as well. For example:

/index.html
/images/gallery1/large/1.jpg
/images/.htaccess

2. Remeber that if you loaded a file with FireFox, it's now in the FF cache, so when you protect your files and try to access them thru FF they will open if they're protected. The best way to try if your hotlinking is working properly is to write the URL of an image directly in your browser's address bar, that way no referer URL is sent and the server will return "Access denied" and send you to the 404 error page (if any).
