Looking for info on the following possible spiders

[volatilegx]

These are possible spiders that have been reported to me. They had no referrer string. The ones without hostnames would not reverse. Anybody have any info on any of them?

I too have seen Slarp in my log files. Does anybody know where he comes from??

[volatilegx]

Slarp looks like it's from only.com which appears to be a directory site.

[volatilegx]

Thanks Josk

[Great1]

Has any one been to only.com???

Pop-up city!!! I know, I'll have a look at the UK section. POP-UP WINDOW.

AAAGGGGHHHHH

[volatilegx]

I want to write a java app that will change my active scripting security settings to "off" or "on" at the click of a hotbar button. bye-bye popups!

[Josk]

Have you tried Mozilla?

You can change everything, from the useragent, how animated gifs are handled and even disabling popups...

From [geocities.com...]

/ Use configurable security policies to override popups, see
// [mozilla.org...]
// Turn window.open off for particular sites:
user_pref("capability.policy.popupsites.sites", "http://www.annoyingsite1.com [popupsite2.com");...]
user_pref("capability.policy.popupsites.Window.open", "noAccess");

// Or turn it off everywhere:
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.open", "noAccess");

// More important, disable JS windows popping up a new window on load
// (as lots of porn and spam sites do):
user_pref("dom.disable_open_during_load", true);

I'll check it out Josk, thanks :)

Doing some digging today may have uncovered some further info about Slarp.

It comes with "[e-mail]" in the HTTP_FROM field. There is no web site for slarp.org, but I discovered that there is a "www.slarp.org.com" - this points at "www.your.com" which is a search engine.
