Injecting blogspam with Internet Hate
Several scraper sites rip off posts from tikirobot.net in order to generate AdSense revenue. Nothing new about this, and it’s never really bothered me.
But this morning, Sam and I were searching for a TR post and found that a scraper site showed up in search results ahead of TR. Obviously, something should be done. We could block the scraper, but that is Too Easy. We could redirect to goatse, but is Too Boring. We need something even more shocking.
Lulzlunch is exactly that.. a redirecting service for /b/ that allows hotlinking! We can infuse the scraper with the very worst of the Internet, and since it’s not goatse, I bet they won’t even notice.
Now we just need some RewriteEngine rules to perpetrate lulz based on referer:
-
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} http://www\.go-robots\.com/.* [NC]
-
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png)$ http://www.lulzlunch.com/random/b [NC,R,L]
You can test it out by going here. Hit shift-refresh to clear your cache. You should get a new random (probably horrible) image from /b/ on every refresh! Lemme know if it breaks something on TR.
