Number of the day: 5936

5936? Yeah, this is how often a luser from Hungary accessed the Global
Frequency Database
yesterday by obviously using the auto-refresh
function of his Opera browser at an interval of five seconds. There were
two ways to react. The funny and the not too funny way. I decided for
the funny way which goes like this (for privacy reasons, a part of the
lusers hostname was anonymized):

if (strstr($REMOTE_HOST, "xxxxxxxx.adsl.enternet.hu")) {
echo "<html><head><script type=\"text/javascript\">";
echo "function showAlert () { alert(\"bazd meg!\"); }";
echo "</script></head><body onload=\"showAlert()\"></body></html>";
return 0;
}


The result? For every refresh of the site (again: that was every five
seconds) a window with the wonderful Hungarian message "bazd meg!" was
opened, resulting in several 1000s of open windows on the lusers
computer. At 0258am, requests of that host stopped and he wasn't seen until about 0830am (see below) when he restarted the automagic refresh.

Don't forget: Mondays are the worst way to spend 1/7 of a week.

UPDATE: Last sign of life from this Hungarian luser was at 1003am. Let's hope he's okay. ;)
UPDATE: Thank Goddess he is alive, the annoying requests continue since 0555pm. Of course, they could be ignored or even dropped...but since it's not causing any probs, I might have some more fun with this luser. Stay tuned!

Any ideas for an adequate punishment? Use the anonymous comment function below! :)
