Parasite Hosting Leads Thanks To Akismet
Posted By Eli On January 9, 2007 @ 12:05 am In Random Thoughts | 99 Comments
Whewww! Been busy lately guys! Sorry I haven’t had much time to get posts out. I’ve been working with some serious project volume lately. I got a couple posts ready but I’ve been trying to include some example code and scripts to improve the quality of them. I also got a wicked idea for a Blue Hat Tool. Can it actually top [1] contributions coming!
In the mean time I’ll still be responding to comments and emails as often as I can. Although I got to admit that I’m addicted to reading the spam comments I’ve been getting. If you’re interested in some serious black hat shit give reading your Akismet filter carefully a try. Those pharmaceutical affiliates are downright brilliant at times. In particular I’ve been watching some of their parasite hosting techniques.
One in particular that I’ve been monitoring closely is doing something that I think is damn cool. From what I’m gathering he’s downloading a ton of CMS’ and using directory structures to make a list of identifiable footprints. Then they use Yahoo to find exploitable .EDU sites using these CMS’ for their student homepages. Than (s)he is signing up guest accounts and creating redirecting cloaked doorway pages to pharmaceutical affiliate sites. Then building linkage to those urls through blog spam. I’m like a kid in a candy store watching these guys send me their URLs to easily exploitable edu parasites. Sure I’ll take that one! Ooo! that one too! Is that a plone parasite? I’ll take six!
Starting now I’m going to make a list of my favorite blog spam that passes through here. Not for humor purposes but strictly learning. Than when I got a decent enough sized list I’m going to post every single one here. Gitty Up!
If you get any cool ones to your own blogs feel free to [2] email them to me to be added to the list.

I’ve noticed the same thing. Watching Blackhat or spam activity can be a treasure-trove of information. However, I’d be careful because some of the heavily exploited sites you see might be penalized by google/etc for being spammy. Links from spammy parts of the web might actually hurt your ranking.

Comment spam is definitely a good place to look for parasite hosting opportunities. The key is to (ab)use them pretty much immediately so they won’t end up losing value before you get to it.
Another cool thing you can do is to find the actual 404 pages and (yet) unregistered domains. Then upload your own stuff on the parasite hosts and register the domains before the other spammer. It works wonders

I’ve been collecting blog spam over the last month or so as well to post on my personal blog. I’m doing it just for the laughs though
#4 Comment By kansieo On January 9, 2007 @ 9:04 pm
I didn’t get much spam til I started posting here…guess I’ve gotta blame eli.
#5 Comment By Eli On January 9, 2007 @ 9:31 pm
Same with my other blog that i linked to on a post.
Infact it gets the same exact same spam.
*puts on a fancy robe with a sherlock holmes hat and a plastic pipe that blows bubbles*
I believe they are using an automated crawling blog spammer.
*bubbles*
Both blogs use different HVS(human verification systems) and different file structures for the comments so the script must parse for the form not the file structure. Therefore it is adaptive to the form itself and not just doing direct posts to filenames like wp-comments.php. Which would explain my lack of 404 errors for wp-comments.php.
*more bubbles*
It must also be adaptive of different forms of HVS’ in order to defeat the largest possible amount of them. For instance my “Did You Pass Math?” verification.
*bubble* *bubble*
Since the script often repeats itself in both the title and unusual comment fields. It also must have default text that gets inserted into fields that aren’t preidentified. Also judging from the likeness of my error logs the script must report back forms that resulted in an error so the owner could make adjustments to the form definitions. That result in a successful submission in either the next time around or for future blogs that hold similiar comment structures like mine. Find a certain field name that results in an error greater than 10 times THAN log it and the urls it was found on.
Therefore I cannot be the culprit!
Elementary my dear Watson

Have a great vacation man. I’m a bit jealous.

Not sure why you’d go to the trouble to scrape comment spam. Everything you need to know is right in front of you. Search Buy Viagra, Online Poker and Free Porn Movies. Everything thing you need to know about BH seo is right there.
#8 Comment By Seostomp On January 15, 2007 @ 9:49 am
There is always more to learn in everything you do so why wouldn’t an extra resource help?
#9 Comment By Ryan On January 15, 2007 @ 12:21 pm
I was using Bad Behavior for a while but tools at sites like Yahoo’s site explorer use “bad behavior” type of requests, so I got an Akismet key instead. I’ll have to check my spam, but the amount of pharmacy type of spam is amazing at times.

The new blue hat tool sounds cool could it possibly be better than QUIT
Nice post man, I always love reading your blogposts.
#11 Comment By Fistuk On January 17, 2007 @ 8:24 am
Amazing,
I just got hit Exactly like that.
A Carp (rss poster) installation that I never really finished to instal got exploited. BH created a folder with doorway pages redirecting to the final site using a java script.
I found baclinks on .edu WP blogs and around 80 spam bloggers sites.
I found it after 2 weeks of operation by surprise while watching my stats. Got paniced and erased all the files (had to contact the host admin for that)
Had to learn the lesson the hard way. Never leave open holes, hangging installation (installation folders with permmision undeleted).
I’m not sure that this was the reason (or a 6 days downtime 2 weeks after) but I suffered heavily from lost in ranking.

Where do these spammers come from? Has it changed much in the last few years?

Why is it useful?
#22 Comment By Joseph On September 9, 2008 @ 5:41 am
—> Lalita and David:
See, Parasite Hosting is quite useful because of one main reason!–> the backlinks from the pages assume the PR of the homepage of the domain. Hence, if you have a page on squidoo.com and post backlinks on it, it is as good as a backlink from a PR 7 page.
However, this is that way for MOST websites. It is not necessary for the page that the backlink is on MUST have high PR

I don’t know if I fully understand this. You mean you actually take over the sites you find? This seems a little too shady to me, and while I support most black hat methods, this seems like you’re abusing other parties too much.
