Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed.

Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 XoloX connects to other clients on the Gnutella network, which has over 70 different clients. People run those spam servers that grab search results that seem to not respond to anything popular and send you back what you search for as a ! file with crap in it. Yes the next version should have methods to help deter this... at least it better. |

 Blocking Pron Bombs These porn bombs are definitely computer generated. Someone has written a program to take just about any gnutella search and create a porn bomb from it. Fortunately, they always seem to point to the same site. I have just added these sites to PC-cillin's web trap filter. It is also pretty easy to recognize the files as they always match you search exactly and there are always three files that are always the same three different sizes. However, it ****** me off that this crap is clogging up the gnutella network. Do these losers really think we will visit their crap sites after they highjack our browsers? |

 Very bad news Ok after some further research, I find that none of the 4 IPs listed above in this post are officially registered. However, tracert reveals that 66.250.52.45 is apprently hosted by cogentco.com, 194.237.72.231 is hosted by telia.net and 194.213.194.37 by concert.net. A quick look at my history file shows that opening the bomb redirects you to several sites: adult-erotic-guide.com (64.159.91.200) is apprently hosted by level3.net, jambalala.com by cogentco.com and venusseek.com by level3.net again. Now the bad news. I've noticed two pop up windows that open after opening the xolox main page: usapromotravel.com and rated-**************s.com. The second one sounded an awful lot like adult-erotic-guide.com in it's naming convention. Sure enough, both of these sites are also hosted by level3.net. So now my question is, is someone highjacking Xolox's searches with or without Xolox's active participation? A tracert to www.xolox.nl has confirmed my suspicion as the last hop before getting to xolox.nl (213.133.42.240) is at level3.net. So, I wouldn't expect any resolution to these porn bombs any time soon. I still think Xolox is the best gnuella client, but I am greatly sadened this tur of events. I guess I'll just keep adding these sites to my webtrap. |

| There's also the ~28k file that pretends to be a .mov or .mpg but as soon as it runs takes you to a web page. |

| The use of level3.net caould be a form of tracking where you are going online. You might want to check for some sort of program that is interfaced with your internet browser or other internet acces software. |

| A more likely possability... I went to level3.net. Level 3 Communications is a company runs a large high bandwidth communications network. It could be as simple as that Xolox happens to be hosted through the same system as those other sites. (possably indirectly through a web hoasting company thet uses level 3) |

| I'm willing to accept the possibility that this is just a coincidence, but it seems less and less likely to me. The faxt that these bombs show up with other clients means that whoever is doing this is infecting the entire Gnutella network. If it does turn out to be somehow tied to Xolox, I think there will be a huge backlash. |

| I have a feeling that it is not directly related to Xolox. I think that it ia a buch of high bandwidth servers spaming every computer on the Gnutella network they can. |
