sneaky TV style flash ads
I was watching this "why linux sucks" talk and suddenly a TV style ads appears at the 15minute mark. Possible to defeat the ads?

RE: sneaky TV style flash ads
I noticed that when I loaded the video, Sidki's config caught two things:
Code: +++GET 37045+++ After watching the video up to the 15:00 mark, there were no ads that popped up. So if you kill the connections to the following URLs, I wonder if the ads will not appear for you as well.: http://e.blip.tv/scripts/flash/freewheel...9598056525 http://media.scanscout.com/ads/ss_ads2.swf |

RE: sneaky TV style flash ads
I saw there http://ad.doubleclick.net/crossdomain.xml, and thinked could be interesting writing a filter to redirect crossdomain.xml from adsources to a crossdomain.xml local file. Someone know the good parameters in this file for doing this?
The standard is: http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd |

RE: sneaky TV style flash ads
This is a very interesting idea. I've played a bit with it, both, a local policy file and filtering crossdomain.xml.
Filtering because i was trying to block all "3rd party" flash objects. However, for each modification there was always a major site being broken.

Local crossdomain.xml: Code: <?xml version="1.0"?> Anyway, when it came to simply redirect policy files from ad servers, using a local file which doesn't break XML - dummy.js in my case - did the job just as well, so i'm not going to use above file. Regarding mentioned problem page, redirecting these files are removing the ads for me: ad.doubleclick.net/crossdomain.xml [^.]+.scanscout.com/crossdomain.xml |

RE: sneaky TV style flash ads
Thanks for the research Sidki! Well i was testing with the crossdomain.xml but i had no success. If i replace the onsite crossdomain.xml the flash is reporting a error. And if i replace the xml from doubleclick i still see ads.
By other way replacing the one from doubleclick by dummy.js (i use empty file instead) kills the ad, but has a small inconvenient, the flash keeps like buffering forever, it requires we press the play button. If i found something new i will report it later |

Solved, the problem is i was replacing http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pag...deoads.swf for an html local file. Now working so good

RE: sneaky TV style flash ads
I use a local Flash for such redirects, the smallest one i found, 27 Bytes, i'll attach it.
(If someone knows of a nicer one, like a little bug, or a colored pixel, let me know.) Do you remember on which page(s) you got that googlevideoads Flash? I'm blocking flash.quantserve.com/ , invoked by Flash e.g. at http://lunduke.com/?p=429 , http://www.justin.tv/ , http://www.abadiadigital.com/ . The next one i'm not yet sure about, because some bin.clearspring.com Flash objects are required. However, the one i get almost daily does nothing but tracking: bin.clearspring.com/lib/[^/]+/l[^?]++.swf . That entry is of today, so i just have the muzicons.com Flash at http://nomanymore.blogspot.com/ as example. |

RE: sneaky TV style flash ads
Nice file! The first and only time i have seen this googlevideoads.swf was today in the first link posted. But maybe the webmasters were doing some tests, i don't see it actually but sure we will see it more and more in short time.

RE: sneaky TV style flash ads
Unfortunately some major sites seem to check if the Flash ads have been loaded.
Redirecting ad.doubleclick.net/crossdomain.xml breaks http://www.nhl.tv/team/console.jsp?hlg=20082009,3,321 (would require allow-access-from domain="*.neulion.net"). Redirecting googlevideoads.swf breaks http://perezhilton.com/2009-05-17-love-game . |
