Adblocker Negator

 I have been thinking of a system designed to work around ad block.

Ad block typically works by searching for various URLs in the page, in script, img and a tags. If items in the URLs match the ad block requirements, then the ad is blocked.

I did consider the idea of simply going with a new work. Like "gooble" for an ad script, or directory. However, it would be fairly quick to add that into the standard blocks.

Naw, what would need to be done, is an ad script location that constantly changes. Constantly modifies itself. Perhaps is constantly randomly generated.

Now, mod_rewrite scripts are full able to take a randomised URL, and point it to a file. The randomised URL could be pointed to match various predicted profiles of a user. Based on IP Address region of the world, suggested ad material, and various other factors. Each of these dynamics attracted would have several random URLs attached to them.

Now, to get the URL, a form of mash up would probably be best. The server the ad is on, would likely use a RESTful API to grab the domain and URL to post to the client. This would generally allow the next bit.

Random domain names. While analysing my spam, I noticed a fair amount of bot generated domain names. Usually these are made up of gibberish letters followed by dotcom, with a gibberish path afterwards.

I kind of suspect that these URLs exist as a form of HASH for the spam sent. As well as the email it targeted. So as to predict and propagate better spam tactics. See which emails gain better responses, to concentrate on those more, for this profile being targeted.

In this case, rather than posting a single throw away site, it would instead have a nice ngine based proxy to point the content on the site to come from the main server. Making the original IP address of the ad network transparent.

Trust me--this should start appearing soon. I am kind of surprised it has not already.

I dunno--I kind of imagine that if I was running spam bots, the internet would be much more scary.
