Topic: Crapflooding


  
  Crapflood - Encyclopedia Dramatica
Crapflooding is a common (and wonderful) way to attack blogs or wikis.
Literally, a crapflood is a veritable mudslide of feces.
Similarly, on the Internets, a crapflood is a massive posting of thousands of garbage comments, usually containing pornography from the infamous Pain series, tubgirls, and goatses, along with some hateful text containing the word nigger, plus some randomized text in each post to stop the lam3r security measure of filtering duplicate posts.

 Crapflooding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As a technique, crapflooding is typically considered by other trolls to be a "lesser" form of trolling since less intellectual effort is involved in carrying it out.
Initiating crapflooding may involve significant intelligence and work; for instance, in having to circumvent anti-crapflooding measures such as CAPTCHAs.
Crapflooding can also be carried out via scripts or other utilities, which could handle the task much quicker than doing so by hand.

 Crapflooding: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
...Crapflooding Crapflooding Crapflooding is a form of trolling discussion sites...
Crapflooding is a form of trolling discussion sites such as Slashdot with nonsensical, inane, or repetitive postings in order to make it difficult for other users to reading other postings.
It is also motivated by a desire to waste the host site's bandwidth and storage space with useless text.

 reblog: dealing with crapflooding
"Crapflooding" is a type of denial of service (DOS) attack on your blog in which a script is used to flood the blog with hundreds of comments a minute (trackback crapflooding and search request crapflooding are also possibilities).
If the crapflooder is using someone else's script, he probably just has to enter the URL of your site and an entry ID and the script does the rest.
The crapflooding script only looks for mt-comments.cgi and not some unusual name you've given the script, and it doesn't know to enter a CAPTCHA or that posting to the comment form only sends the comment to preview mode.

 Badtux the Snarky Penguin: Die, crapflooders!
Crapflooding is the basis for all of what passes as "political discourse" in America today.
Crapflooders, on the day that Great Cthulhu returns, will be the first to be eaten.
Well, it seems crap and flooder (within the definition for flood) are already in Merriam-Webster's Online so it is not inconceivable for crapflooders to get their proper listing in the future.

 forums.anti-slash.org :: View topic - Anti-slash Absoluetely DOES NOT Support Automated Crapfloods
The crapflood consisted of over 1,000 comments, and rendered the discussion virtually unreadable at a threshold of 0 or -1.
Crapflooding of this magnitude is a rare occurrence on Slashdot, thanks to a variety of anti-troll measures that have been implemented over the years by the site's editors.
I'd just like to say that all crapfloods which the GNAA has recently done have almost exclusively been anonymous, and none of them has been associated with Anti-Slash in anyway.

 Geekizoid
Geekizoid was a weblog devoted to the complex trolling and crapflooding subculture of the popular geek weblog Slashdot.
It first went live in early 2001 and evolved through various Slash- and Scoop-based incarnations until April 2002, when its owner began shutting down the site.
Many of Geekizoid's editors and authors went on to start other sites, such as Adequacy.org and Trollaxor.com[?].

 reblog: dealing with crapflooding, part two
As mentioned in the previous entry about crapflooding, in addition to throttling and fllists, there are three things you can do to secure your blog further:
The reason that these three tricks can be effective is that crapflooding is done using an automated comment submission script.
There are ways around each of these tricks, but each of them alone will deter at least some crapflooders and all of them together may deter more.

 J’raxis·Com • J’raxis Confesses to Being the WIPO Troll
WIPO had made several “mistakes” during his crapflooding career, most notably not using HTTP proxies thereby exposing his relatively-static IP address to his victims, and linking to a nonexistent page at J’raxis·Org as his homepage in his Slashdot profile.
WIPO concentrated all his crapflooding and trolling to Slashdot exclusively, writing several memorable crapfloods, most notably, the Taco-Snotting FAQ (a term which itself seems to have entered the troll lexicon alongside “First Post” and Natalie Portman jokes).
Verbatim crapflooding of this document is permitted in any medium, provided this copyright notice is preserved, and next time you take a dump, you think of the WIPO Troll and all he’s done to make Slashdot a better place.

 Comment Throttle | Musings
My advice to you, son, is to give up on wasting your time writing crapflooding scripts.
Someone looking to install and use a working plugin would, one would hope, use google to figure out what the community thinks is a good plugin, and then use that one.
Meanwhile, script kiddies need to inspect each of those plugins and work out the security flaw to each of them, and then write code to work around those flaws, just in case they want to crapflood a blog which happens to have it installed.

If you’re a programmer also, you might want to keep an eye on the latest developments at FloodMT to keep abreast of their latest developments to stay, if not a step ahead, then at least only a half step behind their developments.
More of the background from this spate of crapflooding and the history of Dv along with FloodMT and FloodMT.perl (along with a server that seems to be having uptime issues) is available on Phil Ringalda’s site in the post and comments for Throttling Down and Confidential to my crapflooder.
Phil is how I found the music of Kris Delmhorst, which I have really been enjoying, so a big thanks for that one Phil.

 Eclectic Echoes: FloodMT Crapflooding, Trackback-flooding and Whining crapflooders   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Six-Apart, the team behind MT released a modification to enable comment throttling—limit the number of comments allowed to be posted in any given period of time—which Jacques Distler improved upon with a further patch which enabled even tighter controls on commenting including IP banning based on comment frequency—they have all been installed here as well.
So to spread the fun a little bit once again here is the crapflooders website, or at least the “tool” that he uses: FloodMT
If you are running MT and allow commenting or trackback pings I suggest very highly upgrading to MT 2.661, then applying the patches provided by Jacques to further tighten comment throttling and – to combat the latest annoyance, trackback spamming—trackback throttling.

 4.12 Spam and Crapflood Prevention   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
For details on rating and trusted and untrusted user status, see section 4.13.
Crapflooding, the process of posting too many garbage comments or stories (often using a script) for the normal voting or rating mechanism to handle normally, is handled with a post throttle mechanism.
Both stories and comments have a maximum post rate, which should be set to a value that most normal users will rarely or never exceed.

Phil was visited by the same fellow earlier in the evening and I guess that, by the time he got to me, he was all tuckered-out.
While I appreciate the “Live by the sword, die by the sword” ethos, crapflooding is not a sport intelligent people engage in.
And besides, the net effect would simply be to teach these dullards some new tricks to use when they resurface elsewhere.

First, there are trolls and crapflooders just like every other internet community.
Well-intentioned but wrong answers are just as big a problem as malicious trolling and crapflooding.
Modding down and hiding someone's post will hopefully discourage trolling, but with a novice the desired response to bad advice would be to flag or hide the error, but also thank the user for at least trying to be helpful.

I haven't checked any of the proxies there but this looks like it might come in useful; maybe not for harvesting hundreds of the buggers for crapflooding, but for general trolling it could be good.
On the subject of crapflooding, the GNAA is in the middle of crapflooding a story (about 500 comments right now) and we can post a list of the proxies we used after we're done.
I didn't think we officially supported crapflooding, but rather the lowering of the s/n ratio by more honorable means, like a well written troll that gets dozens of bites.
