Catija

Morning!

@JourneymanGeek Did you see the solution to the SU spam problem?

Journeyman Geek

I literally just woke up ;p

link?

A: De-linkify links in network profile if a network-wide suspension is applied

Update: As of November 13th 2017, all Website fields and links in the "About Me" profile sections are unlinked on stackexchange.com. We can thank the increasing spam activity on the network (a.k.a. The Great Super User Spam Invasion of 2017). So, in other words... this feature request is status-c...

Journeyman Geek

also "solution?" "- and which spam problem?

Catija

I'm assuming Adam's talking about the spam that's on profiles instead of posts?

Journeyman Geek

12:09 AM

ah!

Catija

Isn't there a chat room somewhere just collecting the links to them?

Journeyman Geek

ya, I think errr... bharghav has a bot for that

user202362

I wonder that is the spam vs legit question vs help vampire question ratio on various SE sites

Journeyman Geek

12:27 AM

@Telkitty on a healthy site spam dosen't last that long

user202362

Just wondering how many spams get posted, don't care how fast they get deleted

Catija

I'm guessing they log spam hits in Charcoal but there are some that it misses and some that are wrong. It'd still probably give you a pretty good approximation, though.

Shog9

I have a list of 20K+ account IDs from the SU spam wave

and then there were another 3K+ that got created but have empty profiles 'cause they got caught by a blacklist.

Catija

12:42 AM

Wow... That's crazy. I see why they went with the option they did. I'm sort of surprised they didn't block links on all sites.

I'm guessing there's something different about the SE.com network profiles? I've noticed that it doesn't update if I update my regular user profile.

It still has my hippo-only avatar and my old profile info.

Shog9

@Catija normal site profiles just block all links up to some trivial amount of rep

That would've been nice to do on SE.com as well, but... More work

Catija

I'm guessing it's a different code base since the profiles look so different.

Journeyman Geek

@Shog9 o0

user202362

pretty sure you can write a script to automatically setting up new accounts

user202362

run it once, create thousands of new account

Journeyman Geek

12:50 AM

sure

Shog9

based on what I saw, this was either humans or humans using scripts; the actions weren't consistent from one account to the next (some clicked around a bit after adding the bio text, checked to make sure it showed up on SE.com, etc. others did nothing)

which... just makes it all the more impressive, really

Catija

What time scale was it on? 20K accounts over how long?

Shog9

think about how cheaply human time - fractions of a life - are bought and sold

@Catija 10/16 - 11/8

couple big spikes within that range

5K in one day

Catija

Wow. I wonder how many people were doing it.

Shog9

hard to say

Catija

12:53 AM

I'm guessing that's not something that'd be easy to guess at if they're all using the same IP.

Journeyman Geek

@Shog9 iirc the ip addresses were also all over the place?

and there was a common email domain that appeared in a few places

Shog9

@JourneymanGeek at least 1800-some unique IPs, though many on the same providers

Journeyman Geek

probably low end/cheap VPSes

Shog9

yeah

Journeyman Geek

tho probably still cost maybe a few hundred dollars (of probably fake credit card charges)

Catija

12:56 AM

Makes me wonder what the roi is for that, though... I can't imagine that many of those links were ever used.

Though, I suppose it could be just an attempt to tie up the site trying to figure out how to deal with it.

Journeyman Geek

naw

Shog9

@Catija fill Google results with matches for keywords that associate with a link that redirects to a site that promises attractive content for money

that's why SE.com was so important here: the links worked

Journeyman Geek

^

though the chances of that for profiles is limited, no?

Shog9

Google scrapes those SE.com profiles within minutes of them being updated.

Journeyman Geek

ah

Catija

12:59 AM

Why do they even index the se.com profiles at all?

Shog9

well, did at least. We may have allowed the well to be poisoned a bit by allowing this many accounts to exist.

Journeyman Geek

(also, they use a lot of the same terms)

@Catija because they index everything ;p

Catija

That's not completely true. :P

Journeyman Geek

and there's no real benefit to blocking that with robots.txt

Shog9

I mean, we kinda let them know that this stuff exists. Which is normally a good thing: a new question on, say, a problem with a new iOS or XCode release shows up in folks' results within seconds of it being posted. Not so great for profiles though.

not... great at all for spam profiles

Journeyman Geek

1:01 AM

@Shog9 any plans to clear them out? There's a few fairly distinct patterns there that I presume you noticed too...

(that unicode arrow thing, which seems odd, other than as a way to find them, and the "download/watch" in various european languages... even for allegedly hindi videos)

Shog9

@JourneymanGeek moderators - and me - are kinda rate-limited when it comes to user deletions. It would take me about 30 hours to clear them out deleting them as fast as possible.

During which time, I wouldn't be able to do anything else

Catija

Questions make perfect sense to me, yes. It's the profiles I'm not so sure about.

Journeyman Geek

ah. ugh

understood.

Shog9

So... I might fire off a script some weekend if things look calm. Or try & talk @Adam or @bluefeet into abusing their access to do it some other way.

@JourneymanGeek fortunately, they pretty much stuck to a script when it came to the URL formats. They were all shortened URLs initially, then they went to abusing Google itself to redirect, then they went with various forms of URL-encoded domain names. All of which I chased with a succession of blacklist entries.

Journeyman Geek

yup

Shog9

1:06 AM

Add in a sanity-check that verifies they've never posted anything, gotten any rep, or created accounts anywhere but SU & SE.com... And if nothing else, false-positives are pretty benign.

Journeyman Geek

oh, only SU got hit? 0_0

Shog9

yep

Catija

Doesn't that just make you feel so popular?

Shog9

I mean... There was the usual background noise of spammers everywhere else, but nothing on the scale of SU

Journeyman Geek

1:23 AM

@Catija well kinda sorta

on one hand, we're big enough to get hit

on the other hand, in most cases, sites that have tons of spam are un-loved wastelands of broken windows and users who have moved on - which SU isn't

they just found the one place we can't effectively do the needful

bluefeet

@Shog9 I just got access and you already expect me to abuse it? For what purpose???

Journeyman Geek

@bluefeet don't make me give you the puppy dog eyes.

Adam Lear

@Shog9 Yeah, we can do better than a client-side script.

A server-side script (a.k.a. a dev route) is probably a decent way to go.

Shog9

works for me

Stijn

@Shog9 maybe "more consideration given to bugs and features" is something that Team DAG could do. Then CMs can focus on "more discussion of how Stack Overflow is and can be used effectively today". Perhaps also "more insight into company plans", but someone from the team working on a certain thing is probably in a better position to communicate it to the users.

@ShadowWizard Wild guess: he interpreted rene comment on the original question as "you can only search in AND mode". If the search didn't allow for an "OR" filter, he would somehow be right in a way.

ooh, self delete. SCORE!

rene

Bart is pingable, that is enough ...

Shadow Wizard

11:10 AM

@Derpy might be. But he go a point, e.g. such search is pointless, as any 6 tags search when AND is used. But since the search field is free text, not much SE can or should do.

how to force chrome not to redirect to https?

Stijn

@OptimusPrime on Stack Overflow specifically? Or on other websites?

Optimus Prime

Previously I used a host with certificate and the url was https but now I changed it and now it is just http but when I enter http://url, chrome automatically changes it to https and show me awesome error

@Stijn not SO. it's personal

Journeyman Geek

@OptimusPrime eww. whyyyy?

Also, I thought the redirect is typically server side

Optimus Prime

nopes

Stijn

That could be HSTS at work.

Or a similar mechanism where the browser remembers the site was visited with HTTPS before

Journeyman Geek

11:32 AM

that would assume he has it set up tho

does it do that in private mode?

different browser?

Optimus Prime

it does in private mode too. but I tried some other services like url to screenshot and works perfectly

works perfectly in Firefox and all other browsers too

@Stijn how to fix it in chrome?

Stijn

no idea

Shadow Wizard

@OptimusPrime so disable whatever extension you have that do this, Chrome doesn't do such a thing. I browse many sites without https just fine.

Optimus Prime

DONE

@ShadowWizard it has to done with chrome

navigate to chrome://net-internals/#hsts, enter the url in the text field (near delete button) and click on delete button.

Stijn

You could probably ask this on superuser.com

Optimus Prime

11:39 AM

Thanks @Stijn for the term. the term worked on google

Stijn

ok :)

Optimus Prime

@JourneymanGeek private mode even run the avira extension in chrome

and autofill all datas

Journeyman Geek

@OptimusPrime well you sorted it out

Optimus Prime

hmm

Journeyman Geek

that said

dude, get a cert ;p

LE's pretty darned easy

and server side configs - mozilla.github.io/server-side-tls/ssl-config-generator this is handy

Optimus Prime

11:43 AM

previously I used firebase. so it will do the task for me

now I created a blog on blogger, made a sub domain on godaddy and added forward with masking

so no https

Journeyman Geek

hmm

"made a subdomain on godaddy" eww

Optimus Prime

Journeyman Geek

@OptimusPrime not a fan of them as a registar

they've probably gotten less scummy but...

Optimus Prime

Didn't tested any other registrars. I heard about godaddy long ago and even google gave it as the #1 result

Journeyman Geek

(happy namecheap customer here)

GoDaddy

GoDaddy Inc. is an American publicly traded Internet domain registrar and web hosting company. As of May 2017, GoDaddy has approximately 17 million customers and over 6,000 employees worldwide. The company is known for its advertising on TV and in the newspapers. It has been involved in several controversies related to censorship. == History == GoDaddy was founded in 1997 by Baltimore, Maryland, entrepreneur Bob Parsons. Prior to GoDaddy, Parsons sold his financial software services company, "Parsons Technology, Inc." to Intuit for $64 million in 1994. Parsons came out of his retirement in 1997...

Journeyman Geek

how I ended up using namecheap is a bit of a funny story

One of the sites I use got compromised, and there were a few dubious registrations of domains using my paypal account. Namecheap cancelled them and let paypal know...

and a few years later, when I wanted to get a domain, I went with them

they've been excellent so far

Optimus Prime

previously I used dot.tk for few TLD's

they have 5 TLD's for free

Journeyman Geek

what's the catch?

Optimus Prime

@JourneymanGeek no experience with them

@JourneymanGeek ?

Journeyman Geek

12:08 PM

for free domains

Shadow Wizard

Nothing comes for free without a catch, that's an iron rule.

Usually it's tons of ads

Optimus Prime

no idea how they provide free TLD's even without ICANN registration fee ($0.18)

Shadow Wizard

We once had a free ISP here which injected ads into pages. They didn't last long.

Optimus Prime

But they also provide other paid domain registration services including .com and so on

no ads with them

Afaik, there is no such things with them

for hosting, previously I used 000webhost but there was 2 reason for me to quit it

Journeyman Geek

they got compromised and?

Optimus Prime

12:11 PM

#1. Their db compromised and I found many suspicious activities in my gmail and amazon accounts ( I used the same passwords for most of the accounts at that time)

#2. Previously they pushed their own ads after certain number of visitors. but things changed then

Journeyman Geek

TANSTAAFL ;p

Optimus Prime

Even if there is no one visited in that month, they started showing their banner. I tried even open comments on pages but not worked. like <?php /* and end of file. but they are closing it

now happy with godaddy and firebase

Journeyman Geek

currently I run a dedicated server with online.net and use namecheap for domains. Also I use their email hosting service for my dad - we transfered the domain to namecheap as well.

Stijn

I'm also using namecheap, switched after waiting for more than a year with my previous registrar to support CNAME-like records for the root domain.

Optimus Prime

have to check namecheap.

eh, google's still my primary

Optimus Prime

as a part of money-saving, I still use free gmail account. vdevs.in at gmail.com

Journeyman Geek

12:28 PM

at this point, a private email server will cost me half a day or so ;p

but its very hard to do it right + not much benefit

user202362

@OptimusPrime you have dedicated server, it's free to run private mail server

Optimus Prime

you can just delete a few lines to fix that problem

in the meantime, on Megaman reddiit, someone claims to have found this on a japanese twitter related to capcom.

I am trying to reverse search that image to see if it is a fake crafted from some fanart but haven't found anything yet

Stijn

I've never played a Megaman game before, static.capcom.com/unity/mmimg/screens/… makes me think of Sonic

Derpy

that said, if that is true it will be pretty weird. I was just claiming yesterday that they should have a new MMBN game that uses the switch to simulate the PE.T

Bart

Didn't capcom explicitly announce they weren't targeting switch?

Andrew T.

@Derpy I searched in Japanese, no related news

not even 2ch

Derpy

@AndrewT. I know, I am searching for the alleged source twitter with no luck. That is, it somehow fit the weird images that were found about Megaman in the latest months.

Andrew T.

3:13 PM

OTOH, there will be.... uhh... new Megaman anime in 2018 broadcasted on Cartoon Network Japan

hopefully this image... is... uhh... not an example of it

(apparently it's an old news, and might not release in 2018...)

Derpy

@AndrewT. sadly, all points to that.

In the meantime, Capcom announced Goodsmile would produce a nendoroid Roll figure. Months before Goodsmile even acknowledges that or put a "coming soon" page online

Andrew T.

oooh!

Derpy

(and then you have the out of place image in the gallery in the "recently" released MM collection 2 which doesn't match any released game)

@AndrewT. yep, consider that is a new design. Just for a figure?

(but yep, that happened before with the trueforce figure that was made from a fan art design of MM X that Capcom released but never used for a game)

Anyway there is something believable in that screen. If that game was truly in the work, it would mean that Capcom once again threw continuity in the trash, by releasing a new series that takes place between two other games that were supposed to be direct sequels.

.... which is something I would totally expect them to do at this point...

anyway, waiting for @jnat to clear this one up ^

he should know right?
