Spampop
Update: It appears they’ve stopped using pinappleproxy. This block still works:
SetEnvIfNoCase X-AAAAAAAAAAAA 1 spammer=yes
deny from env=spammer
The comment spams currently have this header:
x-aaaaaaaaaa: 300000
We’ve come up with a way to block one of the most prolific spammers on the net (referrer, comment and trackbacks). If you recognize any of the domain names on the pinappleproxy domains list, or the new Zahariev domains list, then you’ve been hit. Poker, casino and pills, mostly.
Put this code into your .htaccess file:
# pineapple baby - comment spammer - shhhhh
RewriteCond %{HTTP:VIA} ^.+pinappleproxy
RewriteRule .* - [L,F]
This block was conceived by Cindy Schneider at candygenius. She’s decided to take down her website, so I’m putting it here instead.
Cindy also made a Wordpress plugin if that’s easier than modifying the .htaccess file.
Cindy had more content, and I’ll put up more later. But this should get you started.
