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. :)

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.

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?

HTTP Referer Protection via Firewall


HTTP Referer Protection via Firewall 09/06/2004 11:15 PM

Outpost Firewall: This personal firewall blocks outgoing HTTP referrers, which we've discussed before as being a potential security hole. Webmasters just see this in their referrer logs:

Field blocked by Outpost (http://www.agnitum.com)

It must have to parse the text of the HTTP request and manually modify the line which includes the HTTP Referer header. Interesting.

Is this common for firewalls? This is the only "hacked" referrer I remember seeing in my logs.

Weird-o SMS behaviour


Weird-o SMS behaviour 02/05/2005 09:13 PM
Outi sent me yesterday a sweet text message about mice. True to the nature of these beasts, that SMS started multiplying: for some reason, T-Mobile (yes, I'm in Germany) has decided to deliver that message to me eleven times within the past 24 hours. Even though it has been sent only once.

It seems that every SMS sent from Finland is replaced by this same SMS message - so if you've tried to contact me, I have only seen a message about a mouse from Outi. Sorry. You gotta try and resend, if you had anything to say (or just email me).

The Weird Als of Finland


The Weird Als of Finland 06/30/2004 06:07 PM

Everybody Humppa!

Finland has a dance called the humppa, but it's spoken of with the same disdain that disco gets in the US these days. It's for the geezers. I have been told it is something like the German polka only without the lederhosen, which is good since I'm half German and, after a few Straßenfests where people jump around in lederhosen with buckets of beer in their hands barely able to stand up, much less dance, the costumes just don't really add much to the overall aesthetic. I had a biology professor, a Bavarian who was really into opera singing, show up for a lecture in lederhosen and dance a polka for us while we sat there speechless. Everyone thought he was nuts, but I just thought he was hopelessly homesick and I couldn't imagine him doing that dance without the full costume in his usually disheveled professor uniform. I have been spared, so far, the spectacle of drunk Finns hopping around much like drunk Germans to goofy music. So far.

While we were off at the lake for Juhannus, my ear picked up something that sounded a lot like Viva Las Vegas but....not. I was informed that it was a group called Eläkeläiset [the pensioners] who are the humppa song gods in Finland and, well, everywhere else people like to humppa. I fried a few neurons just thinking about an Elvis tune done in humpaa/polka time. I can't describe their music except to say that they are the Weird Al Yankovics of Finland. Sample the Peljätty Humppa [2.2mb] and try to guess the song they are covering and be very, very afraid. It's like Ethyl Merman singing a disco version of No Business like Show Business [yes, she really did...], as it's so bad that it transcends the badness and is irresistibly brilliant. I must have more of their music. The guys actually have a regular band, Kumikameli, but I can't really tell the difference between the samples on that web site and the humppa music so it may be just a nuance only a Finn can hear. :) The lyrics are very clever and, unsurprisingly, the music is popular with the polka loving Germans. There even seems to be an OpenBSD-Humppa connection which does help explain a few things about OpenBSD. Weird Al has done a polka album so perhaps it is time he teamed up with Eläkeläiset and did a humppa album. Disturbing thought. *zot* There went another neuron.

Though not the web institution of Jim Romenesko's Obscure Store or as overexposed as Dave Barry's Blog, Chuck Shepherd's NEWS of the WEIRD is a fairly good source for news stories that are... well... WEIRD. And Chuck's the only one who has collected a list of stories that "now occur with such frequency" that they are NO LONGER WEIRD. Quite a resource for judging how our society has changed in the last umpteen years.

In semi-related news, Barry is semi-retiring his weekly column, but we still have AutoDave, the automated Dave Barry column generator. Still, I suspect he did it just to upstage Dan Gillmor's farewell column, as he gives up the old-media columnar life in favor of "Grassroots Journalism".

Deep night weird-o commenters


Deep night weird-o commenters 02/01/2005 09:48 PM
Odd. Outi seems to have again attracted some weird-o commenters, who seem to be interested mostly in just mocking her. It makes me wonder why there are no weird-o commenters attracted on this blog, even though this is relatively popular for a Finnish blog (something like 800-1000 page views a day, not including RSS aggregators). Four possible reasons come to mind:
  1. I am male (most weird-o commenters seem to haunt young women)
  2. I am boring (technobabble, not too radical opinions, and little personal life; not much to mock me about)
  3. I publish the internet address of every single commenter, so you can't be anonymous to the general public (go to Recen tChanges, then click on the "Main_comments_XXX" entry, then "More Info..." to find this information). Transparency rules.
  4. Writing in English raises the barrier of commenting somewhat

I don't know. Perhaps I should just go more for the social porn aspect of blogging... *grin*

(In order for this blog entry to be not completely void of any actual content, take a look at the Committee to Protect Bloggers, a web site which lists and informs about bloggers that have been jailed or harassed for blogging.)

Now Google May Have Lost The Froogle
Name Too...
07/23/2004 06:30 PM
It appears that Google has been having an awful lot of trouble lately with the names of its services and trademark issues. There was the company in the UK that complai ned they were using Gmail already when Google's Gmail came out. Then, there was the whole attack of the alien Googles thing earlier this month. Now, it turns out they have lost an attempt to take away the domain name Froogles from a guy who runs a shopping site there (which I imagine just had its traffic shoot through the roof, for all he complains about how troublesome this lawsuit is). Of course, Google runs a shopping site called Froogle. However, in this case, the challenge was whether or not the name Froogles was confusingly similar to Google (not Froogle). There's a pretty good reason for this. Froogles went online well before Froogle did, so if anyone has a claim it might be in the other direction. The fact that Froogles was not found to be confusingly similar to Google could open up the possibility of a reverse case where the owner of Froogles could claim that Froogle violates his own trademark. Yes, the lawyers are drooling. Of course, the most likely solution is that Google will end up paying off this guy and just buying the Froogles domain name to avoid all these other problems. In the meantime, it's a bit amusing that a Google search on Froogles doesn't have the Froogles.com site anywhere near the top (however, before the conspiracy theories start, Yahoo's search doesn't either).
