There's a website appearing on my status bar, Bugmenot/report.php. I checked the site out and I believe someone is trying to hack my profile. I don't know much about computers and I'm not sure about any of this. I told my friend who pointed me to a 'spybot search and destroy program.' But I can't download it until my connection improves. I didn't know what would happen until then, so I figured it would be a good idea if I just informed you about it. If you have any suggestions or if this is a problem or not, I'm all ears so to speak...  |

bugmenot.com is a piece of shit website that enables users to share accounts, regardless of wether or not doing so is allowed, honest, or legal. i have asked several times over the course of nearly a year for gendou.com to be added to the blocked sites list, without success. in response to this, and a recent increased illegal use of gendou.com accounts directed by bugmenot.com, i have launched a retaliatory attack strategy whereby my users are (unknowingly) participating in a sort of distributed attack against their servers. the attack targets their "remove site" form, which is supposed to be used to report sites (like gendou.com) which should not be listed on bugmenot.com. while viewing gendou.com, all of my users are sending such a request every 10 seconds. the result will be a diminishment in service at bugmenot.com, possible server crashes, and an overwhelming amount of emails to the admin, which should get his/her attention (finally). if you don't like it, you can donate. donating members of gendou.com do not receive the HTML instructing participation in the attack. don't worry, your computer will not be harmed. after you close the gendou.com window, the attack will stop from your computer. it is just an automated form submission, no software is installed in your computer.

While I respect your wishes to have your site blocked from bugmenot, and it is fully in your right to do so, I don't appreciate that my computer is being used as part of the attack on their servers. Furthermore, the script is set to run once every second, not 10 seconds. (the value passed to setTimeout is in milliseconds). Because my browser (Safari) switches tabs when a page reloads, gendou becomes the active window/tab once per second, regardless of whatever other site I'm currently visiting. While this behavior is normally desired (I'll go off and read a new site while I'm waiting for another to load), when gendou.com is loaded it makes my web browser unusable due to constant switching. Perhaps there is a more effective and less annoying way of achieving the results you're looking for? Perhaps a script that, each day/hour/whatever grabs all logins found on bugmenot and bans them? Thanks, |

i excluded safari users from the code segment. the code executes every 10 seconds, you must have made a mistake while reading the code.

Ah, glad I searched before asking about why my browser kept reloading... Was wondering if one of my multiple protection programs wasn't aggreeing wtih your site :P. But boy does it make navigating the forums a pain(can't use the back button anymore... but no big deal). And good luck on getting your site removed from thier database. Maybe I'll leave my browser open when I go to sleep later.

>from Shun WolfKin your site :P. But boy does it make navigating the forums a pain(can't use the back button anymore... but no big deal). Ah, now I understand. Now I understand why I couldn't use my back button... I don't mind that you do that, I'll do what I can to help. I could just leave my browser up I guess. Also a question, How do you know if someone has been using someones account on Gendou.com? I'm a bit concerned about mine. Gendou, Good luck on your attack!
You know, I really don't have a signature.
