Masking Connection To A Website, Illegal?
Sep 13, 2008
I am not a web host. I do have my own server that I host my company sites on and some of my friends use it as well.
I had someone ask me if I could host about ten pages on my server for him. He said the following," Hello. What is your base hosting price... say for a dozen page static site? (making some Page Rank sites on different hosts to mask the connections to my main website)"
This question gave me an uneasy feeling, but then again I am not familiar with this tactic. I have two questions since the above was asked.
1. Is this illegal by search engine rules.
2. Can my websites be affected if it is.

How would I go about reporting a website for illegal hacking and other activities?
Their host is fully supporting them. They have even given them the ip address of the proxy I used, in which case the client of theirs have added the proxy to their htaccess deny list.

For about the last two weeks I've had issues connecting with the website that I help run www.learnoutloud.com from my home connection which is Time Warner Cable Internet connection in Los Angeles. I'm on a Dell laptop Inspiron 6000 running Windows XP. I'm always able to connect to the site but what's happening is the page will get hung up on loading a single image usually and then it will take about a minute just to load that last image. And sometimes the page won't load at all, but all it takes usually is hitting the refresh button and the page loads instantly. I was hoping this issue would just go away, but it's been persistent after numerous restarts of our cable modem and switching from wireless to plugged in and so forth. And it's really only happening for our site and no others, which is just puzzling.
At our office on our DSL connection our site loads fine and we haven't had any customer complaints about the site loading slow like this. Our traffic numbers have stayed steady so I don't think it's a global problem connecting with our site. At home I conduct a trace route and it looks good:
Tracing route to learnoutloud.com [72.34.53.155]

Does anyone know what the heck is going on and how I can fix this?

I've had a problem to get a connection to my websites via https. My Plesk is version 12.0.18 an it runs on ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I have installed the certificate in that way: URL.... The SSL in that repository is activated in the hosting settings. I've activated and deactivated them a several times. The nginx.conf and the httpd.conf seems to be all fine.
SSL Engine is on an certificate statements links to the certificates in /opt/psa/var/certificates/The access_ssl_log an proxy_access_ssl_log had no entries, but /var/log/nginx/error.log said:

How can I domain mask a long url so it shows only the domain name. Do I modify the .htaccess? My registrar (omnis) does not provide masking.

I have web hosting and domain, lets call it www.example.co.uk, but the main body of the site is on another hosting server (no domain, just set as a dedicated IP address). I'm just wondering if it is possible using .htaccess (or otherwise) to mask the website so the address bar shows www.example.co.uk - But also shows the current directory/file on the dedicated IP server?
So for example, being able to goto http://www.example.co.uk/shop and it show the page 111.222.333.444/shop?
I know the most logical option would be to move over the domain to the new server, but at this current time that is not an option.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not so great when it comes to .htaccess.

I'v been searching the internet for ways to redirect/mask a domain in Linux (Ubuntu) and everything points me to godaddy. The server is ssh there is no control panel on it. So if anyone knows a way I can redirect my domain name and mask it that would be great. For example domain1 points to domain2, but in the address bar it shows domain1.

just a quick question, i have two domains www.abc.com and www.abc.co.uk.
With web forwarding typinng www.abc.co.uk will get me to
www.abc.com and from there i have browse the www.abc.com site.
However I want www.abc.co.uk to be the duplicate of www.abc.com. So i can browse a www.abc.co.uk.
Therefore typing www.abc.co.uk will stay on there and i can browse (www.abc.co.uk/aboutus.htm, www.abc.co.uk/contact.htm....etc).
Do i just need to change the namserver tags or do i change the DNS.

So we've got a client setup with 2 domains; 1 main and 1 secondary.
The secondary domain is a 301 redirect with masking through GoDaddy. The reason for the masking is because we need the domain name to stay the same after the redirect. (So people who come in on DomainB will only see DomainB in the url bar.)
The problem: GoDaddy has uses a "zero frame" element to implement the masking and it's messing up the display of our site.
Note: The display only screws up in IE.
Primary domain: www.BristolCountyWomensJournal.com --> (This works fine.)
301 domain: www.WomensJournals.com --> (Check out the messy background!)
Anyone know of alternatives to Domain Masking?

While reading a lot of posts and blogs about hosting, I just wanted to ask if someone has an idea on how to find files with illegal content.
I just tried a few bash scripts, but if there are a few thousand files, most of them stop working or produce server loads that stop the whole server.
Is there any software already out there or any script to scan the content on server for phrases?

I have a cpanel 11 server with php 4.4.6 installed. my site use php scripts and one day even if the file was not edited, not touched at all , i get errors like
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ']' in /home/xxx/public_html/wp-includes/post.php on line 37
I checked and could find a lot of illeagal characters in my php file. See below. for post_status , it became post_statuó and edit_date became edit_date<8d>. If you read through the code, you can see a lot of illegal characters. This is why i get parse errors. I had to replace the file from backup and the issue fixed. But this problem continues to occur for more files and i can't find a reason for this. Again I am the only one with access, I use BBedit to edit php files when needed in Mac OS X, and beleive I know what is being edited and again, those file which gets errors does not need to be edited for nothing, not even to modify wordpress.
======================================================
iN ( 'draft' == $post['post_statuó'] && empty($postarr['edit_date<8d>]) && empty($postarr['post_date¯]) &&
('0000-00-00 00:00:00' == $post['post_date']) )
$clçar_date = true;
else
$clear_nate = false;
// Merge old and"new fields with new fields overÃriting old ones.
$postarr = arRay_merge($post, $postarr);
$poytarr['post_category'] = $post_cáts;
if ( $clear_date ) {
$poótarr['post_date'] = '';
$postërr['post_date_gmt'] = '';
}
éf ($postarr['post_type'] == 'at|achment')
return wp_insert_atÃachment($postarr);

I want to get a VPS to hold my sites and the websites i build for people.
I'm not sure about what happens if a client uploads something they shouldnt - be it porn, warez or whatever.
As a server owner, do i risk getting in trouble? Or am i simply the contact person .
I can't check every file that people might upload.

He sell it locally for Indonesia market and leave no contact info.

I reported the site to hostgator.com and got the followin reply:

Hello,
Since there are no templates on the site, you will need to provide evidence of this some how.

I'm not trying to bash HG, but I need your opinion: is the HG respond is already correct?
So learn from the same thing, if I set a website sell cracked properties and only delivery the product through CD or email (not downloadble one) I can host it with HG as long as no offensive files in their server? Or in this case HG just ignore it because could not understand Indonesia languange?

is it legal to host links to indirect content such as rapidshare/megaupload?
I've seen alot of sites hosting these contents and the servers (from traceroute) are hosted in the USA where copyright law are enforced heavily.
what do you think? Will my webhost take my site down if I host these contents?

If I type google.com in my address bar, it forwards me to www.google.com. This is not happening for my website right now. I think its a good idea to do this, since then search engines will have only 1 main URL for the website to index.
My question is:
How do I implement this? I think this may involve mucking with CNAME settings...

I am on a VPS server and want to know in high traffic conditions how many connections per IP address can come... because on my site connections per IP going to 300 and mostly around 100.
But these are fluctuating and from different locations... everytime.. so dont think as a Dos but so many connections per IP makes my server down for few minutes until connections dont go down.
how many maximum connections per IP will be fine... for a little popular site.

Today i get alert from server provider saying my server is under attack, i check netstat and found too many connections.
Quote:
This ticket was automatically generated by the Softlayer Network Protection System. Due to the large amount of traffic targeted to your IP address 74.86.157.184, SoftLayer has automatically injected the IP address into our Cisco Guard Protection system. This system diverts traffic destined to the IP address 74.86.157.184 through hardware devices that will try to identify and block the specific packets and flows responsible for the attack while allowing legitimate transactions to pass. The injection of 74.86.157.184 will remain in place until this attack subsides and then be automatically removed once traffic levels reach a normal level.
Details of the event follow:

This is an error that dns report spat out to me. I have the firewall disabled as of now so I don't understand why packets would be blocked..if they are being blocked. From what I can tell, I can get to the server and resolve no problem...but could that stop other dns servers from connecting to it? I recently moved my cpanel box to another location in the LT datacenter in order to get on a different subnet - the previous one was a spam list nightmare. All IP's have been changed over and such...is this just cached from like the 14 hours I was down (ouch!) or is this still happening? I mean...its able to look up a records and it can get the mx servers...
error: Our local DNS server was unable to get your MX record. This usually means that a firewall in front of your DNS server is interfering. For example, it may be blocking DNS packets from low source port numbers (ours is often in the 1024-1030 range). Firewalls should never block DNS queries based on the source IP address; otherwise, it is guaranteed that legitimate queries will be blocked. This specific lookup must be cached, so a recent change may not be reflected.

I have a Linux box running CPanel and am having issues with 1 particular client trying to connect using FTP. I am also running lfd and csf.
The problem is that whenever they try to ftp to the server (regardless of the domain), they get an error saying:
"Connection to host lost".
I look through the logs (/var/log/messages) and see that there was a connection made and closed. No errors.
Otherwise, all my clients can connect without a problem.
