  Hello love this forum.
Posted by: RvMan56 - 2006-07-07, 08:48 PM - Forum: Hello - Replies (2)


Hello everyone, Anyweb thanks for this site, thanks for helping the noobie's such as myself.

I am retired trucker, on disability. I love computers, hate windows, beginning to really like Linux.

I have been trying many different distro's and have settled on Xandros 4, it's the only one I have been able to get working almost completely. I dumped Solaris 10, it was a horrible experience.

I first came here using Suse 10 but even with help I never got mplayer and other programs to work.

 

Since we live in a RV I travel some and take tons of photo's, I love gimp and digikam, super programs.

 

I do all this computer stuff because it keeps my brain going, but sometimes I have trouble understanding whats going on but once I see it done, I go with it.

 

I put a Radio Shack Personal, Coco 1,2,3, then went to the Amiga 1200, (wow that was a great computer), computer in my truck back in the 80's and been learning ever since.

 

I miss driving and see this great land, would have drove to Sweden and down under if they would have giving me pontoons.

  Light media player machine
Posted by: mambafia - 2006-07-07, 12:24 PM - Forum: Just Starting Linux - Replies (5)


Hello,

I have a relatively low spec machine PIII 600 192Mb RAM and I'd like to set it up do do nothing more than play mp3s, WMAs, video files (from a Windows machine on the network) and perhaps play DVDs also. Ideally I'd like to be able to turn the machine on, have it boot up as quickly as possible straight into a media player program. I know very little about Linux and wondererd if this would be possible? Can you cut the OS right down to just what I need? If so can anyone point me towards a beginners guide on how to do this and suggest a distribution I could use?

Many thanks.

  Securing Sites with mod_rewrite
Posted by: znx - 2006-07-06, 06:39 AM - Forum: LAMP - No Replies


Stop Hotlinking

 

Nothing really suprising in this one, common trick used by lots of sites. The main aim isn't to stop the theft of images but the theft of bandwidth!

 



Code:
# Stop hotlinking
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.mysite.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.myfriendsite.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.othersites.com [NC]
# forbidden
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|png|swf)$ - [NC,F]
# forward elsewhere
# RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|png|swf)$ http://www.hotlinkinghurtsmybandwidth.com/THIEF.png [R,L]




 

 

IP Banning

 

Found this trick elsewhere which I liked a lot, cause apache to read a separate file and instantly rebuild its deny!

 



Code:
# block ips
RewriteMap    hosts-deny  txt:/path/to/my/hosts-deny.map.txt
RewriteCond   ${hosts-deny:%{REMOTE_HOST}|NOT-FOUND} !=NOT-FOUND [OR]
RewriteCond   ${hosts-deny:%{REMOTE_ADDR}|NOT-FOUND} !=NOT-FOUND
RewriteRule   ^/.*  -  [F]




 

The hosts-deny.map.txt looks like this:



Code:
127.0.0.1 -
localhost -




 

Deny those nasty localhost users!!! ;)

 

Bouncing Referrers

 

Using the same technique as above, it is possible to bounce users from one place to another:

 



Code:
# bounce/redirect users
RewriteMap  bounce txt:/path/to/my/bounce.map.txt
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !=""
RewriteCond ${bounce:%{HTTP_REFERER}} ^-$
RewriteRule ^.* %{HTTP_REFERER} [R,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !=""
RewriteCond ${bounce:%{HTTP_REFERER}|NOT-FOUND} !=NOT-FOUND
RewriteRule ^.* ${bounce:%{HTTP_REFERER}} [R,L]




 

Begone nasty referers! Now anyone coming from a list of referers can be redirected elsewhere. The bounce.map.txt file looks like:

 



Code:
http://www.badsite.com/    -
http://www.goodsite.com/baddirectory/index2.html   http://somewhereelse.com/




 

 

Many thanks to the meta wiki and various other mediawiki sources for these tips (I wish I'd taken note of the sites :().
