Kerio Personal Firewall includes an program execution protection feature, which allows users to restrict execution of programs on the system.

weird referer

weird referer 01/07/2004 04:31 PM

Recently (but I just noticed it today) I started getting HTTP referers that are a variation of the following: "XXXX:+++++++++++++++++++++++" (the number of plus signs varies). A google search with appropriate terms quickly turned up discussions like this one that suggest that the referer is someone using an anonymizer or internet security product of some kind. Without that information it smells like an attempt at an exploit of some kind... but of what kind (and if so, I've never heard of it)?

Anyone knows about this? Has anyone else seen it? I'm curious. :)

Lieberman Referer Spam

Lieberman Referer Spam 01/03/2004 05:39 PM
Lieberman Campaign Referer Spamming? So Says Me Via Doc Searls I originally sent this item to Doc because I don't blog about national things anymore and didn't have a place to write it up. Of course, today I remember MeFi. As Doc passes along, the following appeared in my referer logs yesterday: aca3cc09.ipt.aol.com - - [02/Jan/2004:18:50:27 -0800] "HEAD / HTTP/1.1" 200 0 "http://joe2004.com/?starprose" "StarProse Referrer Advertising System 2004" Of course, Lieberman's joe2004.com website has no links to my weblog, and obviously, given the user-agent, it's StarProse's business to spam via false referers. I suspect it's targeting weblogs, since many include scripts which display recent referers. Since I don't have any such publicly-accessible referer list, it was only by chance that I happened to spot it at all. There is no way to know for certain, barring comment from the Lieberman camp, if this is their campaign or some random Lieberman supporter engaging in this practice. But it's slime regardless of the responsible party. Anyone spot any other presidential campaigns hijacking people's referer logs to advertise?

Spamming Referer Logs

Spamming Referer Logs 01/04/2004 12:03 PM

Spammers have sunk to a new low: spamming HTTP referer logs. Now that a lot of bloggers display referrer hits, and a lot of bloggers monitor them to see where they're getting links from, spammers have started sending HTTP requests with their site as the referer, just to get people to follow the links out of curiosity.

Doc Searls noted this phenomenon with Joe Leiberman's comapaign site. The URL "http://www.joe2004.com?starprose" appeared in his referer logs. Since Doc has no link from Leiberman's campaign site, and the lone querystrign arguments indicates that someone is trying to track a clickthrough, it seems that this was inserted there just so a webmaster would follow the link. Looking through my logs, I have this referer too.

Also, just like Doc, I have a referer in my logs to a blog solely about the Paris Hilton sex video. Needless to say, there is no link on that site to Gadgetopia. And here's one to a porn site in Germany. And, yes, I followed both these links because I was trying to figure out why, how, and in what context they linked to my site.

I don't know if I'm more irritated that spammers are pushing their way into every last piece of Internet life, or if I'm more irritated that I fell for it. Before I saw the think on Doc's site and put two and two together, I was blitely following these refer links, trying to figure them out. Score one for the spammers, I suppose.
