Anti-Leech Attachments - prevent hotlinking and bandwidth theft!

[steadicamop]

Title : Anti-Leech Attachments

Version : 1.1

Coder : Jason Williams

Purpose : Prevent your forum attachments from being directly linked to - prevent bandwidth abuse.

Why : Bandwidth can be expensive, plus I was frustrated with one of my members linking to three video clips on my forum from his own site, effectively abusing the bandwidth I pay for, so I set about a system that stops hotlinking, but at the same time, as a courtesy, providing a dynamic link to the post containing the attachment.

How : This could be replicated very easily using .htaccess but the one thing that it can't do is give you the link to the attachment itself. This mod displays a message informing the user that hotlinking is not allowed, then giving them the link to the post to view the attachment directly.

Known Issues : The security can be defeated by using the drop down style menu on the Anti Leech page - this has only been confirmed as an issue on Firefox. I have unsucessfully tried to find a way of removing the drop down on that page only.

Confirmed working with vBSEO 3.2.0.

Important : This has been tested on 3.6.2 and 3.8, I can presume it will be compatible with 3.7.x because it works on 3.8 - as always BACKUP FIRST!

Demo : http://www.steadiforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=909&d=1180779148

Installation :

1. Import Product - product-antileech.xml
2. Save bandwidth!

File uploads : 0
Files to Import : 1
New Templates : 1
New Phrases : 2
Uses Hooks : 1
Uses Queries : 1

History :
v1.0 - Original release

v1.1 - Added enable/disable option, tested on VB 3.8

Done - if you like please click install! (and click Nominate for MOTM!)

This is something I forgot to mention - the attachments on my site are guest viewable - yours require login - so unless they're a member who's already logged in using cookies, it won't make any difference.

The best way to test if it's working is copy the attachment.php link and test it in a new browser window - this is how I tested it on mine.

[Barakat]

its works good but if you click on the "Click here to visit the post with the attachment"

its not functioned as well with the right link ...

showthread.php?p=%1$s

[steadicamop]

its works good but if you click on the "Click here to visit the post with the attachment"

showthread.php?p=%1$s

Ok, I've reuploaded the product xml - if you download the new version and overwrite the old one, the template should now have the necessary code to parse the url.

Sorry for the hassle,

Jason

[Barakat]

yes thanks .... works good now .....

[rjmjr69]

Works like a charm if I do as you say. I opened it in IE and got the message thanks this works great now

[CMGU]

thanks..

[dope15gd]

this is quite awesome, thanks

[mtlcore]

Would one be able to view attachments if one is not a member of the site?

[puertoblack2003]

so if i understand this hack will work all browser??

[steadicamop]

Would one be able to view attachments if one is not a member of the site?

That is defined by your usergroups, this does not change that, merely check the referring url and if it matches carry on - but firstly it checks user permissions.

[steadicamop]

so if i understand this hack will work all browser??

I cannot guarantee every single browser will support it - but I'd like to know if one does not work so I can investigate why.

[DJ XtAzY]

Is it possible to limit Download Accelerators or Managers to download the attachments with just one connection? Most people will use these attachment links and use the download manager and abuse it, causing more bandwidth wastage.

[RvG2]

HI,

I am using this mod VB Image hosting and I am not sure if the images can be hotlinked to other sites. Will your mod will work also on this?

I have that installed myself and it does not work on that - only forum attachments, it may be possible to make a plugin which will be supported, if I get a chance I will see what can be done.

Not really, that's more server side, plus download accelerators just connect 10+ times, you could limit one connection per IP but this could give problems elsewhere.

3.6.7?

[steadicamop]

3.6.7?

Untested - but I think in all honesty it should work, but feedback appreciated so I can update the most up to date version.

Cheers

[Hornstar]

Can I also request a couple extra features ^^

1. captcha - To ensure a use does not make a bot to download the image over and over to waste my bandwidth on the site, this will make each user who goes to download the image, to verify they are human first (kinda similar to rapidshare ^^ )

2. A count down time, which can be set from the admincp per usergroup, eg. this usergroup can be 10 seconds, this usergroup can be 60 seconds, this usergroup can be no count down timer etc. (kind of similar to rapidshare ^^ )

These 2 extra features integrated into this modification would defantly get my vote for mod of the month!

works perfect.

I just gave this a try, but it would not work with my forum. 3.6.7 (VBSEO). I am guessing it was because my urls are rewritten? Not sure. It sure looks like a nice modification. Thanks for developing it Jason. If you think there is a way to make it work with re-written URLs, I will be installing it!

Hi Jason,

The attachment did not show with the modification enabled. Nothing showed. I already removed the modification from my board and was hoping that you would have a solution so that I could re-install when it was working correctly. Sorry to not have it installed any longer.

Thanks,
K

[steadicamop]

Hmmmm strange, I may install it to see what happens, it does sound like a rewrite issue though, but I'm just not too sure as it may be different for attachments as it is for threads and posts.

I've added this as a Known Issue for the moment while I look into it.

I don't have VBSEO but I have just installed and tested Zoints SEO and that works fine - it does not rewrite the attachment url, only the thread/post ones - I am very curious to find out what it did to this mod ..... can you give me more of an idea what was happening?

Hi Jason,

I will install it again tomorrow and make sure to detail the total process and effect. Thanks for working on this. I would really like for this to work! I hope it is not me being an idiot and screwing up the install. :eek:

Thanks,

[goyo]

Sorry...I don't get it.

In our board attachments will show only to registered users. It's impossible to hotlink as they'll only "come up" to registered users. It's a vBulletin setting for a long time. Am I missed something here ? :confused:

Not at all - I designed this with my forum in mind and decided to release it, if you set your forum to allow only members to download attachments then you don't need this.

I just felt my forum was best have guest viewable attachments so that's why I made this to prevent my bandwidth being leeched.

You certainly can't screw up the install - unless I screwed up the code!

I'm just very curious if it does rewrite the attachment url.

If you PM me your site details I will sign up and can test this out if you would prefer.

[badboy_29]

Very easy to install and it works very well. I already had 2 people email me saying when they clicked files on there site it sent them to my forums.

[Triky]

Nice idea. :)
Installed.

[Mrdby]

this even work with photoplog?

[steadicamop]

this even work with photoplog?

Good question ... I see you have it installed, as long as it uses the standard attachment system it should be compatible as that's where the hook is.

Taking this off Beta stage as it's been in use long enough with very few issues.

[Mrdby]

does this work with photoplog?

[Sandy-XXX]

Im install but i think if not working.

I have 3.6.8 level 2, and the watermark mod (maybe if a conflict with this mod).

It's a possible conflict, but I don't have that mod installed so I can't confirm or deny this, I will look into it when I get a few mins spare

[COBRAws]

It would be great if we had the ability to add some URL's in a whitelist :D

[steven s]

Are there any settings I need to do?
Does this work with 3.7.2?

[Snookieboy]

This works in 3.7.2 and with vBSEO 3.2.0 :)

For those who want to see an example, Guests can download so here you go:

http://insanenutter.com/leech.html
Click the Leech Link there :)

The only problem I have with this script is it doesn't allow people with no referer field to download. This is a problem because users with rubbish security packages like Norton Internet Security which blocks the referer field, cannot download either. If that was fixed, it would be perfect :)

[Paul M]

Moved to 3.8 section.

[tlwwolfseye]

v1.1 - Added enable/disable option, tested on VB 3.8

So that means that option is only working in 3.8 ? Because in my 3.7.5 i don?t find anything after I installed that mod. Where would i have to search for it ?

[steadicamop]

The option will be in the AdminCP -> VBulletin Options -> Anti-Leech Settings, at the bottom ... it's just enable/disable, no other available options.

[alik4277]

The option will be in the AdminCP -> VBulletin Options -> Anti-Leech Settings, at the bottom ... it's just enable/disable, no other available options.
In my 3.8 i can nothing find too

[steadicamop]

I've checked the package and the option code is there, I did test it before I uploaded it by uninstalling it, then reinstalling on my own 3.8 installation and the option did reappear. If this clarifies anything, the option is with all the standard VB options, on the drop down menu, on mine, it's one up from the bottom, but may not be at the bottom. If it still doesn't appear I'll give it a further test on my installation.

[samuelss]

Thanks for the Mod. The options are not showing on my 3.80 also so there must be something somewhere.

Thanks.

[alik4277]

If you can not see option to enable Anti-Leech:

Go to AdminCP -> Plugin & Products -> Plugin Manager -> anti-leech Plugin

Replace all plugin code with

$ref = str_replace('http://www.','',$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);
if(!strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'],$ref)) {
$id = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT postid FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."attachment WHERE attachmentid = ".mysql_escape_string($_REQUEST['attachmentid'])));
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('antileech') . '");');
exit;
}


Save

Installed and just doing a test run (http://alldownriver.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=5041&d=1231196215). Woo Hoo! This is awesome!! Works like a charm... cept I still don't have the acp enable/disable to show --- I used the code snippet from a couple of posts abovea and that didn't allow this mod to show up in the vbacp either.

[samuelss]

I still cannot see this in my VBulletin Options on 3.8.0 even after i have changed the code as you mentioned above. I also noticed that "if ($vbulletin->options['al_disable'])" is missing from the code you quoted above.

Thanks

[alik4277]

samuelss,
Replace, Save and test it

[samuelss]

Thanks. I have replaced and saved with and without "if ($vbulletin->options['al_disable'])". I have also tried install and uninstall and nothing is still showing.

Thanks.

[alik4277]

You can nothing find.
Replace plugin code with mine code, save and open link to attach-file on new window

[Angel-Wings]

Hmmm - can't this be done already with htaccess ?

Something like:


<FilesMatch "attachment\.php">
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERRER} !^http://(www\.)?example.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.*$ - [F,NC]
</FilesMatch>


And when using the filesystem as storage:


<LocationMatch "/uploads">
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERRER} !^http://(www\.)?example.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.*$ - [F,NC]
</LocationMatch>


Or is there any difference like some additional check ? Reading the addon, if I understand it right you parse HTTP_REFERRER too via PHP, doing it directly via the Server is maybe less portable, but maybe also faster that PHP doesn't need to be called everytime.

[pipin]

Thanks. I have replaced and saved with and without "if ($vbulletin->options['al_disable'])". I have also tried install and uninstall and nothing is still showing.

Thanks.

Same here with 3.8.1

Does not work and no Option in the vB Settings.

[scottct1]

Same here... No option... Please help.

[djxcee]

Getting the same problem people are getting. I don't see an option in the backend.

[steadicamop]

Hmmm this is odd, I will download the mod again and re-install it on my forum, the option is definitely there on mine, not too sure what's happening here.....

This problem is very odd.

Tried reinstalling it and still no go.

Actually this is only working for browsers where the referer is passed back to the site. This won't work for anyone using a proxy or a multiple proxy with altering hostnames. Be aware of this.

Works good for me. :cool:

Angel-Wings, is it possible to display an alternative image for advertising your site instead of a plain red X - In this way it's free advertising for your site by linking to an alternative hotlink image? :cool:

I've had a go with copying some other code for .htacess from another hotlinking post on here but couldn't get it to work because I assume it only works on the filetype stated rather than the attachments. Code I used as below:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.examplesite.co.uk/forum/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ http://www.examplesite.co.uk/forum/images/hotlink.jpg [R,L]

I'm a total novice at this type of stuff so apologies for any errors!

steadicamop would it be possible to add an alternate image to display in the plugin you have created?

[dutchbb]

Just imported the product, nothing has changed, attachments can still ne hotlinked? Also no option, like others have mentioned...

*uninstalled.

[Pebbled]

Same here!!! I've tried importing the product again yet nothing has changed, attachments can still be hotlinked? Also like you say, there is no option in admin CP!

[Pebbled]

*uninstalled* which is a great shame because it had so much potential :(

[steadicamop]

Sorry guys, been out of the loop for quite a while now, will take a look at this and see if anything needs updating, I have tested it on my current install and it works fine.

[Update]

Tested on vb 3.8.0 - click to test -- http://www.steadiforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1002&d=1222457106

Could you confirm which version of vb you are attempting to run this on? I will re-investigate the admincp issue, there should be the option there.

Thanks,

Jason

[Snookieboy]

Works perfectly on my forum - VB 3.8.2 with VBSEO :)

Only problem that still remains is with people with no referer entry (ie they have antivirus programs like Norton which remove the referer tag for no apprant reason). A fix that would also allow people with no referer to download to would be brilliant.

Example attachment: http://digiex.net/attachments/guides-tutorials/1554d1241817070-windows-live-messenger-photo-sharing-remover-version-2009-14-0-8064-206-wlm9-photosendfix.zip

[Sp32]

[ShackMaster]

Installed on my 3.8.3 board, but does not work and there is no option in vB Options either. I tried replacing the plugin code as an earlier poster suggested, but it still does not work.

thanks. there is a mod like this but to do this with the images displayed in a forum? is that if someone copies the address of an image to put in another forum, this will not show any image and leave another pic in place? thanks

I just copied the address and posted that pic in my forum using image tags with no problem, which is what I thought this was supposed to prevent?

Not sure I understand the use of this, at all?

[kalisekj]

Installed but its not working :( I am still able to hot link to my attachments :(

[TheChaosFactor]

Installed but its not working :( I am still able to hot link to my attachments :(

I tested it using the demo pic and hotlinked it from there, so I don't think it's just you.

[dinodonk]

Can I also request a couple extra features ^^

1. captcha - To ensure a use does not make a bot to download the image over and over to waste my bandwidth on the site, this will make each user who goes to download the image, to verify they are human first (kinda similar to rapidshare ^^ )

2. A count down time, which can be set from the admincp per usergroup, eg. this usergroup can be 10 seconds, this usergroup can be 60 seconds, this usergroup can be no count down timer etc. (kind of similar to rapidshare ^^ )

These 2 extra features integrated into this modification would defantly get my vote for mod of the month!

i second that.. please add these features

[TheInsaneManiac]

Making people register to download attachments is a good way to benefit from hotlinking. You gain registration, hits, advertisement clicks, and sometimes good members.

Also the way to prevent the style from displaying on the attachments page is simple. Either use hooks to edit it out via a plugin or just perform a template edit and use a conditional to not display it on the attachments page.

[horussjr]

update for 4.0?

[Cerbero1000]

Finally works after 2 hours!

[kalisekj]

i tried this as well and its not working sites still able to leech and for the life of me I cannot find the admincp setting for this plugin :(

[Snookieboy]

Anyone had any luck converting this to be used on VB4? Cant go without this plugin :(

[Brandon Sheley]

this is sharp, I'll check this out sometime
/me clicks install

[harisafp]

Thanks ... not show in admincp > option
*Uninstalled*

[g0rdy]

Is there any way to do the opposite?

I've searched high and low for a way to get urls from:

forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=3846&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1295480296

to:
forums/attachment/3/8/4/6/image_name.jpg

Like I said, I have tried searching maybe I'm not using the best keywords but this thread/mod was the closest I get. :(

[InsaneNutter]

It would defiantly be fantastic if this could be upgraded to work with VB4.

Does anything like this exist for VB4?

[naveeid]

i want this mod for version 4x

It would defiantly be fantastic if this could be upgraded to work with VB4.

Does anything like this exist for VB4?


for vb4 we dont have this kind of mod , but you can protect your attachment.php through .htaccess.
