These file are everywere, the same size, but differant names.

This is getting bad....Is there anything in the works to combat this?

In searches of all kinds of names, these files types come-up almost everytime.

I don't think so; but, "could be a adware ploy by xolox."

What do you think?

BTW really like XoloX despite flaws, all programs have weaknesses, if one looks hard enought and exploites them.


IMHO DeReK

Ironman, your name has been porno bombed too.
Mine too. how about yours ?

Check out these files, in almost every search.
find a name and search.

*.zip 170,900 bytes
*.rar 167,449
*.asf 19,883
*.asf 309,122
*.asf 525,263


Can something be done ? other than making a mental note, and avoiding these type of files.

I'm sure these files a going to show up soon, in other sizes

With those file names it is either an attempt to abuse people's trust in Kaya's name or is some sort of twisted joke. What ever the case it would have to be done by someone who is familiar with these forums.

antihedron,

I think the ATTACK is being machine generated from requests.

It took your name about 15min to be "Porno Bombed"

I beleave this is going to get real bad.....

What do you think ?


DeReK ---- It is tomarrow

I'll try to use a different servant to try and get some IPs

great like I don't have enough crap to worry about. Now I am a porn bomb. LOL

Seriously however this is something that is being done by some unscrupled businesses that want to force you to their cheesy sites so they can spam you to death with porn. The biggest two culprits are bangbus.com and firsttimegay.com they are ran by complete a'holes with nothing to do but have a machine generate these bogus files and dump them onto people who are looking for legit files. I got one of these thinking it was a music file for Barney the Dinosaur for my daughter and it was pure garbage. Yes Barney is a porn bomb too. These are on every file share system I have ever used not just the Gnutella Network. I have found them on Kazaa, Morpheous, and others. The companies who do this operate in a manner where if you try to contact them to stop it they just send even more spam from other mailers. Best thing to do is avaoid them like they were a virus.

I tried to find the IPs that are sharing these files.

194.213.194.37
194.228.211.204
194.237.72.231
66.250.52.45
(could be more)

I got results from these IPs when using searches for stuff like reigmnperj, erignoirgwe, and rtjsrtj.

Antihedron,

Now that we know of some IP address, what can be done ?


DeReK

Test for registry

I would suggest blocking those IPs. If everyone does that it will be vwry hard for those computers to get on the network. Unfortunantly Xolox does not have the ability to block specific hoasts currently.

PS. IP 66.250.52.45 is responsable for creating several variants of the !!! files that people have been complaining about recently.
