OmniExplorer_Bot really spamming this time

   
Correction, 2005-06-13: The bot is not referrer spamming.

I've previously posted about what looked like referrer spam but was (supposedly) only OmniExplorer_Bot in disguise.

But now we're seeing real referrer spam (for porn sites, mostly), coming from the very same IP addresses and with the same user agent:

64.71.131.110 - - [28/May/2005:01:07:11 -0400] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 403 26 "http://fotos-voyeur-y-amateur.pnoyny.info" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8"

64.71.131.113 - - [28/May/2005:02:53:17 -0400] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 403 26 "http://filmati-gay-gratis.tlkpcw.info" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8"
64.71.131.114 - - [28/May/2005:04:12:07 -0400] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 403 26 "http://sex-masturbation-stories.9032rd.info" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8"
64.71.131.115 - - [28/May/2005:02:56:48 -0400] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 403 26 "http://drunk-girls-at-mardi-gras-galleries.gfdo43.info" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8"
64.71.131.117 - - [28/May/2005:09:18:30 -0400] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 403 26 "http://naked-photos-of-heather-graham.gfdo43.info" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8"
65.19.134.3 - - [28/May/2005:09:47:40 -0400] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 49316 "http://fitness-pictures-of-women-no-nudity.sfd932.info" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8"

So let me repeat what I said before: Block those IP addresses!

And now for a closer look at the actual spam:

All the spam is for unpronouncable .info domains, which are registered to 2 personalities:

  • 9032rd.info, fd6765.info, gf2243.info, gfdo43.info, rd9532.info, sfd932.info, tr9443.info to a Karl Smith, Beverly Hills (admin@gfd942.info)
  • oarklj.info, pnoyny.info, tlkpcw.info to a Matt Brown, Sevilla, Spain (11@fastnamed.com)

The domains are hosted on 63.208.158.252, 63.208.158.253, and 63.208.158.254. The IP addresses belong to Level 3. gfd942.info, the domain from Mr. Karl Smith's email address, is on .254.

The spamvertised URLs do a JavaScript redirect to other porn sites or porn "search engines". User agents not interpreting JavaScript will be presented with lots of porn links to other subdomains of the above-mentioned domains (with some gobbledegook thrown in, to keep the link / text ratio low - in other words: to fool search engine spiders).

Affiliate spam, probably, although I see some redirects without any obvious affiliate IDs.

OmniExplorer_Bot really spamming this time

Here's another range of IP addresses that are used by both the OminExplorer_Bot as well as for referrer spam: 65.19.150.2xx (specifically, .207, .210-.213, and .252 so far). I'll have to go through our logfiles to come up with proper lists of IP ranges.

They've also changed the user agent string used in the referrer spam. It's now Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr-FR; rv:1.5)
