Blocking a HTTP_VIA with .htaccess

Allowee · #1 18-Dec-2004, 04:07

Since a few weeks my paste.uni.cc is being spammed.

The spammer uses proxies and other stuff.
but for some reason every spam request/post includes a line like this:

Code:

[HTTP_VIA] => 1.1 pinappleproxy, 1.1 dgc-squid:3128 (squid/2.5.STABLE4)
or 
[HTTP_VIA] => 1.1 pinappleproxy

I would like to redirect it to something else, like a dead url or something that won't cost me traffic

I've already blocked this at php level, but it won't stop so i'm going to block this crap at a higher level.

I've been trying to play with it, but my host is kinda slow atm

Any rewriterule help would be nice, of course I checked some sites, but couldn't really find what I was looking for

I'll get back to you on this Allowee, now is not a good time for me... if you figure it out all before my reply, just update this thread.

I think I figured it out.. although it might not be perfect

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP:VIA} ^.+pinappleproxy
RewriteRule .* http://url.to.spammer/ [L]

This seems to block it..

note the

Code:

%{HTTP:VIA}

which is not HTTP_VIA, which I thought first.. but the manual helped me with that

Tested everything with a php script:

PHP Code:


<?php
$fp = fsockopen($host, 80);
$rc = fputs($fp, "GET /3059 HTTP/1.0\r\n" .
                 "Host: ".$host."\r\n" .
                 "User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; ALL)\r\n".
                 "VIA: 1.1 pinappleproxy 65764hgfyh\r\n\r\n");
 $line = '';
 for($i=1; $i<=30;$i++) {
    $line .= fgets($fp);
 }
var_dump($line);
?>

very simple code, but it does the job perfectly
