AFF - what's with the HotBox.com popups? - GoFuckYourself.com

Antonio · 01-09-2009, 07:45 AM

funny - on 50 or so sites of mine where I use AFF iframe I get HotBox.com popup which doesn't even carry my id? How does that work?

First I thought it was some kind of a virus ot trojan, but when I remove the iframe code the popups don't appear, then again the sites are on various hosts so it's quite unlikely that they all got infected at the same time.

On ohter sites where I use different iframe code - no pop-ups? Anybody else seeing this?

Antonio · 01-09-2009, 07:55 AM

tried 3 different browsers just to make sure that it's not my computer that's affected - still see the popups. hmmm

Machete_ · 01-09-2009, 08:07 AM

Can you link to a blank page with only that iframe in so we can check it out?

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>

Incert iframe code here

</body>
</html>

OHhh, shit -- its real enough :O

how the hell do they dare!!

Carmine Raguso · 01-09-2009, 08:20 AM

It's not in the iframe code, it's actually coming directly from the AFF code:

Code:

<script             language="Javascript">
    var ie7 = 0;
    if (window.XMLHttpRequest && window.ActiveXObject) {
        ie7 = 1;
    }
    var poptest = null;
    if (window.SymRealWinOpen){
        window.open = SymRealWinOpen;
    }
    if (window.NS_ActualOpen){
        window.open = NS_ActualOpen;
    }
    function blockError(){
        //alert("Block Error");
        return true;
    }
    window.onerror = blockError;
    function bypass(){
        window.onfocus=null;
        // alert("BY PASS");
        if (ie7 == 0) poptest = window.showModelessDialog("javascript:function blockError(){return true;} window.onerror = blockError; function pop(){setTimeout(\"self.blur(); self.parent.focus(); top.location.href='http://hotbox.com/p/vodhbs/?p=vod_page_browse&vod=browse&pid=g954772.subpopunder1&mustgounder=1'; self.close(); self.opener.focus(); self.parent.focus(); \",2);} pop(); self.blur(); self.parent.focus(); self.parent.focus();","","dialogtop=9999; dialogleft=9999; dialogheight:0px; dialogWidth:0px; dialogHide:1; resizable: 1; status:no; help:no;scroll:yes;status:yes");
        else poptest = window.showModelessDialog("http://hotbox.com/p/vodhbs/?p=vod_page_browse&vod=browse&pid=g954772.subpopunder1&mustgounder=1");
                poptest.innerHeight = "480";
                poptest.height = "480";
                poptest.innerWidth = "900";
                poptest.width = "900";
                poptest.blur();
                poptest.parent.focus();
                poptest.window.opener.focus();
    }
    var from_pop = 0; 
    if (from_pop != 1) {
    poptest = window.open('http://hotbox.com/p/vodhbs/?p=vod_page_browse&vod=browse&pid=g954772.subpopunder1&mustgounder=1','poptest','location=yes,scrollbars=yes,menubar=yes,toolbar=yes,resizable=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,height=480,width=900');
                                                                                                                             
    if(!poptest){
         window.onfocus=bypass;
         window.focus();
    }

maybe that code works over blockers, so i can use it on my own sites

Slappin Fish · 01-09-2009, 08:28 AM

I see one cams.com pop-up with an id.

yeah, I thinks it should be popunder but with my browser (K-Meleon) it fails to go under lol, with IE I just saw the pop-up blocker trgigered, not sure if it's a pop-up ir pop-under, it doesn't really make much of a difference though

100% agree on that.

I cant belive that someone would include a popup in a iframe
Whats next? Zango autoinstallers?

Carmine Raguso · 01-09-2009, 08:42 AM

It's popping up. For those that failed to read my above post, the code is actually in the AFF webpage displaying in the iFrame

See the URL?

Code:

if (ie7 == 0) poptest = window.showModelessDialog("javascript:function blockError(){return true;} window.onerror = blockError; function pop(){setTimeout(\"self.blur(); self.parent.focus(); top.location.href='http://hotbox.com/p/vodhbs/?p=vod_page_browse&vod=browse&pid=g954772.subpopunder1&mustgounder=1'; self.close(); self.opener.focus(); self.parent.focus(); \",2);} pop(); self.blur(); self.parent.focus(); self.parent.focus();","","dialogtop=9999; dialogleft=9999; dialogheight:0px; dialogWidth:0px; dialogHide:1; resizable: 1; status:no; help:no;scroll:yes;status:yes");
        else poptest = window.showModelessDialog("http://hotbox.com/p/vodhbs/?p=vod_page_browse&vod=browse&pid=g954772.subpopunder1&mustgounder=1");
                poptest.innerHeight = "480";
                poptest.height = "480";
                poptest.innerWidth = "900";
                poptest.width = "900";
                poptest.blur();
                poptest.parent.focus();
                poptest.window.opener.focus();
    }
    var from_pop = 0; 
    if (from_pop != 1) {
    poptest = window.open('http://hotbox.com/p/vodhbs/?p=vod_page_browse&vod=browse&pid=g954772.subpopunder1&mustgounder=1','poptest','location=yes,scrollbars=yes,menubar=yes,toolbar=yes,resizable=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,height=480,width=900');

Slappin Fish · 01-09-2009, 08:43 AM

I checked half a dozen sites with AFF iframes. No pop-ups.

I only get it on your test page.

Ofcourse its in the page Noob, a Iframe does nothing but load a remote document/request

Ok, then why did the original poster post the iframe code? I'm not here to call people names as I suppose you are, I am just stating that for the OP. Not for you.

Slappin Fish · 01-09-2009, 08:50 AM

Your sure under "Customize your link code" nobody added a popunder with a GPID for that site?

Because he is documenting how the IFRAME code AFF makes avalible to their affilated is including a popup

That code is highly customizable though, you can set a site to popunder with a different ID.

Machete_ · 01-09-2009, 08:57 AM

I think the error is in the script used for creating the Iframe. It's loading a wrong URL that was never meant to be in a Iframe to begin with

Intentional or not - its poor(or missing) quality control

well, these sites have been up for quite a while and I only see the pop-ups (pop-unders) now, also I checked my hotobox.com id, it's different from the one that pop-ups

btw in the example I posted here, I replaced my id with some random id but the pop-up (pop-under?) comes with the same ID

not disputing that

why are you still promoting AFF? Do you guys want to add some cure zango promos on your sites as well?

I was thinking along the lines of somebody getting access to your account and changing the settings to popunder with their GPID. If you changed the ID we can write that theory off.

Hey there,
As a general rule our banners shouldn't serve pops, iframe or not.

I've got our Graphics and our Programming team on it right now - it'll be fixed really soon.

I clicked on the banner and then noticed, it isn't a banner.

Click on it and it doesn't brake out of the frame.

It is just a frame of the homepage.

Code for the promo is incorrect. Saw it a while back but didn't bother posting as nobody seemed interested anymore.

Change http://adultfriendfinder.com.... to http://banners.adultfriendfinder.com.... and it should work.

Where did you grab the banners from that it didn't include the banners subdomain? We need to get that fixed at the source.

Hi, no idea where I got the banners from (I mean I got them from the affiliate area but no idea which area/section/etc) but the sites have been up for quite a while and I only noticed the popups when I was updating them today, I'll change adultfriendfinder.com to banners.adultfriendfinder.com
