Help please! Domain being duplicated and URL spoofed many others as well

When I create the .htaccess file in notepad and transfer to my www root it comes up as .htaccess.txt is that ok and correct?
Thanks

No, wrong, it will not work, Notepad always does that. Delete the .txt ending by renaming the file.

It has no file extension and must be exactly this way, with the dot in front

.htaccess

.htaccess

if the dot is in the front, wouldnt the word htaccess become the file ext.?

I am running XP pro, when I rt click the file and try to rename it, ot doesn't give me the option of changing the extension
I have tried from explore as well.
sorry to be so dense
I tried changing to save as "all files" .htaccess but won't work

i think trader said this once in another way but... open the file up in notepad again... go to file on the menu, click save as... when the save window comes up, choose all files, then name it.htaccess nothing else, not even a space before the period, click save.

Smokey, go read a manual or take it to a newbie area. This is a bigger problem than your website.

Kai, if you have my cell, call me.

what i would suggest is to refrain from plugging in urls as the script grabs the sites right at that moment... it's main focus is most likely phishing ... such as the bank john supplied earlier ... maybe something as inane as trying to cull email addresses for spam but since it grabs from whatever is put in the address bar above it's taking everything.

While tres suggested changing your .htacess file for an individual site fix... I think everyone should notify their hosting providers this information since it could be devasting to any commerce site as well as banks.

 

[jberryhill]

Either that, or it is simply someone's personal proxy, and there is nothing at all devious going on.

No.

The pages themselves are making background calls to the intended destination, and altering the content to so they response to links and form go to HIS server, then sent on the to the destination server. This gives him the opportunity to store all data in both directions, including and ID's and passwords.

This is very different from framing, which is a page that tells the browser to open a sub-window, and directly interact with the intended server. With framing, the 3rd party never sees the data passed in the fram at all, so it's safe.

Which is the scenario that has me most worried, %+|

Juniper, that is what a proxy server DOES.

Perhaps.. I've never been big on technical terms, lol... but to say nothing devious is going on is an understatement... even if it's someone's idea of a joke, it's still devious.

And you know this, how?

Is that devious?

Or, consider open proxy systems like anonymizer.com - the way it works is to run all of your http traffic through an intermediate system.

If you don't know what a proxy is, or the various reasons for using one, then please find out.

Maybe an example would help.

Let's say that I was offended by the word "otter", and I didn't want to ever see any web page that contained the word "otter". One thing I could do is to set up a process at otterfilter.johnberryhill.com so that it would process any input of .otterfilter.johnberryhill.com and ...een connected with any sort of phishing spam?

If you guys happened to look around you would notice this

1bu.com filters the function: You add in the back of existing websites .1bu.Com is visited, can filter FLASH above ,etc. , benefits your use. If you are a network station owner, do not hope your websites are filtered and visited , can apply to cancel .

The link is ************** . I found this after maybe 10 seconds. We should turn this into a concert. I'll post the link later. And to think...

 

[smokey99]

Why are these sites showing up in my page view stats? at masterstats
I realize the mightygrip.ca is because of this duplicated page issue, but why is google showing up as my page?


ACCESSED URLS:

google. ca/search
mightygrip. ca.1bu.com
http: // 66.102.7.104/search

Yah, after looking around to see whether there were any reports of nefarious activity, it sure seemed as if it was a run-of-the-mill proxy of some kind.

The ping on it is a second and a half. Thats horrible. Its located somewhere in Asia. I wouildn't worry about it anymore.

Geeeeeeeee whiz.... No sense of humor around here whatsoever... What is the meaning of the word devious? If you don't know the meaning of that word...perhaps you should look it up. I was making a joke, plain and simple.

Since I'm offended by the lack of humor I shall filter that out.

You need to rename it via your FTP program.

This could also be related to China's censorship of various domains. Whoever set this up may just want freedom of the press, so to speak. If the Chinese authorities block Google (which they have done at times in the past) this site may represent an alternative way to access it.

 

[OgieOgalthorpe]

Looks like the domain is down.
