1. webserver proxy
I feel up a creek without the paddle, or vice versa.... I was asked to do a
commercial project for a web dot-com last nite (in real life, by the owner,
handshakes and all that stuff). The same ole problem is with me however, i
cannot have my ip on his webpages, unfiltered from abuse. I akicked another
^%$&$% from channels on irc last nite, for abusing Tiggr, it's a common
problem.
So what i need, for those willing to give it a try, is a program to:
1) run on a remote nix box <clueless kat-look>
2) read ini file when user connects,
3) filter by the contents of the ini file (ip#)
4) filter based on number of contacts per minute
5) filter based on contacts per ip per minute
6) return a file i provide if i am not available, if the rate of requests is
exceeded per ip#, per global volume, or if the ip is bing "firewalled" from me.
7) and most importantly, connect to me (or maintain a connection i initiate)
so the user on the front door sees my services transparently, but not know i
am there for the dot-com.
The results will be appear in a frame in the user's browser. I would prefer to
own the program you develop, written in Eu, so i can use it where needed.
Any takers?

How does someone "abuse" an IRC Bot?

Repeatedly asking for the same information, over and over, every nite, in
several channels where the bot is, when once was enough, when one
channel of text was enough, and when the information isn't even needed.
And
when they have been asked to stop it. How many times do you need to get
details on who Zu is? And why would you care who Zu is, when you (not you,
CK) are an atheist? He even asked the same questions in the same order
every night. Then he repeatedly tried assorted words like "hi", "hello",
"hi
bot", "bot hi", "hello, bot", "hello bot", "hello Tiggr", "Hello [Tiggr]",
"hello,
[Tiggr]","HELLO Tiggr", ""!hello", etc, ad naseum. When Tiggr said hi once
or
twice and then ignored the idiot, he assumed she was broken and got
verbally abusive (knowing i'd read it), as if a human who ignored such
stupidity was also broken.
Research of online search engines' query logs reveals the most common
question is to the query engine itself, of a porn nature. Tiggr gets them
too.
Hence i want a http proxy that i can set to allow hidden connections to
me,
filtered per the ini files i can ftp to the site. Ask 500 questions per
sec, and i
get the first one, and packetdrop the rest on the server, so my <assorted
expletives> Alabama dialup isn't swamped. I wasn't going to filter based
on
content, just bandwidth and request of the size, so i won't get 500
"requests"
that are in the form of "What is:" followed by a copy/paste of a 40gig
hard
drive dump. People have tried that in irc too, luckily irc limits the
question to
~500 characters for me.
