Spamford Wallace Draws A Restraining Order

Steve Rock writes "According to an article in the Associated Press, a temporary restraining order has been issued by a judge against Stanford Wallace and his companies. The case marks the first anti-spyware action taken by the Federal Trade Commission, and while there is some argument about permitting unsolicited commercial e-mail because of free speech it appears a tougher approach will be taken with alleged spyware distribution."

    Last Measure shock site.

    Last Measure abuses Javascript to make it very hard to leave the website once you visit it, short of shutting down the computer or end-tasking the said web browser. The main page plays a voice using the Flash plugin (hey.swf) shouting "HEY EVERYBODY. I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO" at a high volume, while the various shock images move around in popup windows, bouncing off the sides of the screen. The voice in previous Last Measure versions was fsckyou.wav.mp3. fsck is a Unix utility that checks filesystems for consistency, but is used in this context as a modified version of the vulgarity fuck.

    The page immediately shown when taken to the site has a picture (pooped.jpg) of a woman with feces on her face. Goatse's hello.jpg is set as the page's background picture. The text "GNAA > j00 fristage postage is mine" is seen at the top of the page. At the bottom of the page is "Lastmeasure last measure last-measure nero institute", which is an attempt to get the page listed under Google. The title of the page is "Our lawyer has informed us that we need a warning. So, if you are under the age of 18 or find this offensive, please leave immediately", which is a takeoff on the text on the front page of Goatse. On two of the Last Measure pages (both on h4xx.com) the text "Like what you see? Got a complaint? Email wrt AT forpresident DOT com." is visible.

    The page at Zeikfried had the title "This is my LastMeasure, my FinalHope. Lovez and kissez from Zeikfried~!" The page at peoplesprimary.com had a wide, blank image at the bottom of the screen. Below it were the words "If you have a screen larger than this i'll eat my own shit. - this button shit is +1 insightful." Both of the aforementioned pages were suspended.

    Pressing Ctrl or Alt, under Internet Explorer on Windows, gives the "victim" an alert message with the same text. Pressing Del gives the user the "Credits":

    PROPS TO GNAA

    (The "current" version of the program is now 3.4.1.)

    People have obtained the trunk code with the command svn co svn://wilwheaton.org/lastmeasure/.

    The source code contains a string of text related to the development of the anti-popup-blocker functionality: "/* let's figure out what the fuck kind of browser the poor plebs are using :( MSIE gets a special kind of last measure where I start off with a ModelessDialog and pop up from it. Gets around google toolbar. -- goat-see */

    procreator.php contains the following text in first-level header tags:

    PROCREATING LAST MEASURE!!!

    Fristage Postage is MINE.
    EAT THIS, GOOGLE TOOLBAR.
    fucking nigger operating system.. at least in fucking Firebird you odn't have to do this shit.

    The original location, http://nero-online.org/lastmeasure/, is down as of writing, but has been retained as a redirect to http://obelix-ies.com/~gnaa/index.php site (which is defunct). Currently the whois information states the registrant is "Ghey de Sax", living on "16356 Rolloffle Avenue", "Sudbury, Massaschussets".

    Previously, nero-online.org's WHOIS information has stated that the registrant is "Mike Cunt" (a corruption of the joke name "Mike Hunt", pronounceable as "my cunt"), and that he lives on Goa Tse Dr., South Dildo, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The "drive" is a takeoff on goatse.cx and the town refers to "dildo". The registrant name and street address is an obvious fake, although South Dildo does exist.

    Last Measure was so named due to a crash type in AIM Invader, a crashing utility for AOL Instant Messenger. The "Last Measu
