| ______________________________________ [Feb 26,2006 3:26am - the_reverend ""] grrr... I've banned like 30 ips from them. and they are hitting the site at like 30/second! |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 26,2006 10:37am - Jonahnli ""] yahoo is haxing ur shit noob |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 26,2006 10:46am - Joe/NotCommon ""] Is this their search engine spiders or whatever they call those things? |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 26,2006 5:57pm - infoterror ""] DO YOU HAVE ROBOTS.TXT? IF SO, YAHOO SHOULD GO PICK COTTON. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 26,2006 6:10pm - the_reverend ""] yahooseeker1.2 reads robots.txt and then doesn't pay attention to it. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 26,2006 7:53pm - retzam ""] What is yahooseeker 1.2 exactly? |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 26,2006 8:54pm - the_reverend ""] its a spider for yahoo.com so far this month, they have downloaded over 17GB from rttp |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 26,2006 9:22pm - infoterror ""] the_reverend said:yahooseeker1.2 reads robots.txt and then doesn't pay attention to it. WELL I AM NOT ONE TO BE TALKING ABOUT BAD NETIQUETTE BUT SURELY THEIR BEHAVIOR QUALIFIES? OBVIOUSLY COMMUNISTS CONTROL YAHOO ALERT Z.O.G. |

| _________________________________________ [Feb 27,2006 11:10am - ArrowHead nli ""] That's pretty sketchy. Why would a spider be downloading that much? Try emailing a copy of your log to yahoo support, see if there's anything they can do about it. This just furthers my opinion that anything yahoo blows. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 27,2006 11:49am - the_reverend ""] I just looked and added up ALL the yahoo spiders and they downloaded over 59GB this month. damn. google's only 11GB. |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 27,2006 12:01pm - DreamingInExile ""] wow, at any rate, that's a shitload of bandwidth to have leeched by a spider... even google's 11GB is a lot. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 27,2006 12:15pm - the_reverend ""] yeah, but I really don't mind the googling. they are more of a trickle. the yahoo one ate dick and I blocked their ips. |
| _____________________________ [Feb 27,2006 2:03pm - pam ""] I don't understand a word of this thread, but Fuck Yahoo. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 1,2006 9:47am - the_reverend ""] they killed it again today. |

| __________________________________ [Mar 1,2006 10:07am - litacore ""] I miss those yahoo TV commercials. they should film a new one where they assist the Chinese government to throw dissidents in jail |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 1,2006 10:18am - Arthur_ATD ""] i don't understand much of this, but i do know that those spiders suck, i couldn't even get in this morning. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 1,2006 10:19am - succubus ""] yeah it even temporarily "paused" our emails...sucks!!! |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 1,2006 10:20am - DreamingInExile ""] yeah, Yahoo just raped all accessable bandwidth. have you sent yahoo hate mail yet? I can understand a little here and there, but for how slow (or non existant) the site was running this morning, it felt like they raped and pillaged your bandwidth |

| _______________________________ [Mar 1,2006 10:27am - hoser ""] I don't understand any of this.......spiders or whatever. But....is that legal? Seeing as you pay for the hosting and all....how is it that they can scum your bandwidth like that? |
| _________________________________ [Mar 1,2006 10:45am - pisscup ""] how do we get back at them? |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 1,2006 11:48am - MetalcoreSUCKS ""] What was up with this site earlier this morning? I couldnt get it to come up on my computer.Server problems maybe? |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 1,2006 12:02pm - the_reverend ""] I am the server. they was escentially DoS the site. 2-3 server requests a second is a little much, no? |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 1,2006 12:07pm - DreamingInExile ""] the_reverend said:2-3 server requests a second is a little much, no? yeah, definately... I say we get a shit ton of people to ping flood yahoo, with large packets |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 1,2006 12:20pm - the_reverend ""] ahahahaha, your funny. 1) packet of death's are fixed in 99% of ip stacks out there (unless you are hitting a win95 machine and I believe yahoo runs on FreeBSD which I don't think ever died from PODs) 2) attacking yahoo is like trying to blow over the empire state building. their servers are the biggest hubs in the country. they load balance in a ton of different place in the coutry with clustered hubs. cut out al lthe conections going over the mississippi and you will still have yahoo on either side of the country. most of the traffic (especially in this area of the country) actually goes through switches/center hubs/fiber that they own. they also deploy adaptive IDS solutions which actually scans incoming connections to see what they want and then figure out it it's valid and looks for some server that isn't too busy. in the end, they would never see your "attack" and the only thing that could come out of it would be possible legal troubles for you. |
| _____________________________________________ [Mar 1,2006 12:38pm - raped and pillaged ""] this is worse than prison rape (and I should know) ;) there nothing that anyone can do? |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 1,2006 12:38pm - the_reverend ""] not really. I'm blocking them anyhow. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 1,2006 12:53pm - pisscup ""] the_reverend said:not really. I'm blocking them anyhow. can you totally and completely block them? |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 1,2006 1:12pm - the_reverend ""] I just block out their ips from the site in my code. it makes them make a lot more rquests faster, but since the requests aren't doing more than printing "die now" to them, it's all good. |
