where to scrape

currently doing some violent scraping here

html challenge

think you know it all? well then be sure to “view source” once you click here.
html can be far more complex than most would suspect. i have not even touched the surface yet.

say what?

interesting….
product-search

ok Google does a lot of weird shit. so how is this useful?
hint: the product search only shows up for certain numbers of stars.

blinklist hacked to sell viagra

blinklist viagra spam

i was wondering how the redirects in the viagra serps we’re happening so i ran a few queries and found this:
www.blinklist.com/Fironer

see that? it’s the second result in the serps for the query buy viagra site:blinklist.com. nearly all the results for that search redirect to the same pharma site. only the first one appears to have been found by blinklist admins probably because they noticed the kind of traffic it was bringing them since it ranked for the terms “buy viagra”.

here is google’s cached page of one of the results.

as you can see an entire page has been injected into blinklist. that’s not all though…try mousing over any of the links. try the blinklist logo for example. notice how every instance of blinklist.com has been replaced with the pharma site’s url? it didn’t take any complicated searching to find the page either:
blinklist viagra spam

note: i don’t normally discuss bh sites out in the open, but the guys behind this are selling fake meds (which i can verify) and that’s some dangerous shit!

update: perhaps this has something to do with it.

proxies

did you need some? try these.

starting off

here you’ll learn more about some of the remote corners of the interwebs as well as interesting oddities that I’ve been able to exploit.
much of the discussion will be centered on identifying the “rules” of the web and smashing them to pieces.

aggressive seo, distributed social engineering, and other nefarious curiosities.

enjoy your stay :)
