| bigjools | heh, someone went and made another LP http://www.breakingnewsnews.org/ | 03:58 |
|---|---|---|
| blr | bigjools: err... | 04:11 |
| bigjools | and it's not using SSL | 04:12 |
| wgrant | That's not another LP. | 04:19 |
| wgrant | That's a sed over LP. | 04:19 |
| cjwatson | bigjools: It's much weirder than that | 04:19 |
| wgrant | It's the live site AFAICS. | 04:20 |
| cjwatson | Yeah, that | 04:20 |
| wgrant | Except s/Launchpad/Breakingnewsnews/ | 04:20 |
| wgrant | wtf | 04:20 |
| bigjools | huh yeah I wondered why it had the same bugs | 04:20 |
| wgrant | bigjools: How did you find it? | 04:20 |
| bigjools | Appeared in a Google search | 04:20 |
| bigjools | which is a little worrying | 04:21 |
| wgrant | Oh. | 04:21 |
| wgrant | This isn't you trolling us? :) | 04:21 |
| wgrant | Look at the whois on that domain. | 04:21 |
| bigjools | heh I know | 04:21 |
| bigjools | not even I would go to that trouble to troll you | 04:21 |
| wgrant | What on earth. | 04:22 |
| blr | oh of course it's a Queenslander. | 04:22 |
| bigjools | this isn't that nutjob we had to ban I wonder ... | 04:22 |
| wgrant | My initial thought was amhnews, indeed. | 04:22 |
| wgrant | The entire domain is aliased. | 04:22 |
| blr | bigjools: is Nobby Beach a real place? | 04:22 |
| wgrant | http://qastaging.breakingnewsnews.org/ | 04:23 |
| wgrant | http://blog.breakingnewsnews.org/general/launchpad-news-august-2015 | 04:23 |
| bigjools | rings a bell | 04:23 |
| bigjools | wgrant: WTF! | 04:23 |
| blr | only in Australia would you have a place called Nobby Beach. | 04:23 |
| bigjools | There's a place in England called Bell End | 04:23 |
| blr | oh dear | 04:23 |
| wgrant | http://pqm.breakingnewsnews.org/ doesn't work :( | 04:23 |
| bigjools | I used to live near a place called Minge Lane | 04:23 |
| wgrant | I'm increasingly convinced it is amhnews, as it's so inexplicable and has news in the name. | 04:25 |
| wgrant | amhnews is the master of things that make no sense at all but appear not to be trolling. | 04:25 |
| wgrant | He's been gone for like a year now, though. | 04:26 |
| bigjools | I am sure a redirect can be placed in the Canonical Apache configs | 04:26 |
| blr | seems like the work of a rogue, and somewhat confused AI. | 04:26 |
| bigjools | redirect to goatse? :) | 04:26 |
| bigjools | Also if you're logging request headers, maybe check for others... | 04:28 |
| cjwatson | It also inserts iframes into the pages it serves, and strips LP's JavaScript. | 05:30 |
| cjwatson | (And does other reprocessing of the "pass through parser and back" kind) | 05:32 |
| cjwatson | bigjools: blocking requested | 05:56 |
| bigjools | eek | 05:56 |
| bigjools | thanks cjwatson | 05:57 |
| cjwatson | I think I've got about as much as I can out of logs | 05:57 |
| bigjools | are you logging request urls? | 05:58 |
| cjwatson | yes | 05:58 |
| cjwatson | well, paths, not URLs | 05:58 |
| bigjools | ah - I was thinking you can block where the requested site is not launchpad.net | 05:58 |
| cjwatson | no, it's a proxy | 05:58 |
| bigjools | oh, ok | 05:59 |
| cjwatson | it's requesting launchpad.net as far as we're concerned | 05:59 |
| bigjools | jeez, that's evil | 05:59 |
| cjwatson | and then filtering (and caching) the results and returning them | 05:59 |
| cjwatson | if it weren't requesting launchpad.net or similar then our Apache would say nope | 05:59 |
| cjwatson | (not that I've actually checked but that seems highly likely) | 05:59 |
| bigjools | the original request header is in the browser request header still? | 06:00 |
| cjwatson | I don't see why they'd do that | 06:00 |
| bigjools | unless the proxy is munging that too | 06:00 |
| cjwatson | this is going to be more like a client/server pair than a legitimate proxy | 06:01 |
| cjwatson | it will be making its own requests constructed based on the ones it receives | 06:01 |
| bigjools | right | 06:01 |
| bigjools | what on earth is someone's motivation for that I wonder | 06:01 |
| cjwatson | my ticket title includes the string "incomprehensibly weird" | 06:01 |
| bigjools | :) | 06:02 |
| cjwatson | (I can certainly tell it's making its own requests to at least some extent, based on User-Agent) | 06:04 |
