[[File:Last Measure Banner.jpeg|thumb|right|300px|The Last Measure banner.]]
'''Last Measure''' was a [[shock site]] created in 2003 by ''Penisbird'', a member of the internet trolling group [[Wikipedia:Gay Nigger Association of America|Gay Nigger Association of America]] (GNAA). Many variants of Last Measure exist, as the source code for several different versions was made available for download.  

== History ==
An early version of Last Measure was conceived by Penisbird after playing with an [[wikipedia:AIM_(software)|AOL Instant Messenger]] (AIM) utility called AIM Invader, which provided a variety of ways to crash AIM clients.<ref name=":0">web.archive.org/web/20040809015117/<nowiki>http://lastmeasure.com/history.php</nowiki></ref>

The most powerful crash was the "last measure" crash, which overloaded an AIM client with file transfer requests, [[wikipedia:Contact_list|buddy list]] sends, and messages full of smileys and colors, until the AIM client crashed due to lack of [[wikipedia:Random-access_memory|RAM]].<ref name=":0" />

==Behavior==
Last Measure displayed pooped.jpg<ref name=":1">A picture of a woman's face with feces on it, which originates from bangedup.com.</ref> upon immediately entering the website. It set [[Goatse]] as the page's background, and opened numerous [[wikipedia:Web_browser|browser]] windows via a [[wikipedia:JavaScript|JavaScript]] function called ''procreate'' containing either [[Pillowfight]], [[Rotten.com#PenisBird|Penisbird]], [[Tubgirl]], or [[Lemon Party]]. It then used a function called ''playBall'' to move the windows around the screen. The page embedded a looping audio file called '''fsckyou.wav.mp3''',<ref>A reference to [[wikipedia:Fsck|fsck]], a [[wikipedia:Unix|Unix]] utility that checks the [[wikipedia:File System|file system]] for damage.</ref> which was a sample of a man screaming "HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!".

The text "GNAA > j00<ref>The spelling for "you" in [[wikipedia:Leet|leetspeak]].</ref> fristage postage<ref>"fristage postage" is a reference to [[wikipedia:First_post|first post]], an Internet meme written by an internet user to indicate their discovery of an until-then uncommented entry.</ref> is mine" appeared at the top of the page. Below was the text "Lastmeasure last measure last-measure nero institute", which may have been an attempt to get the page listed under [[wikipedia:Google_Search|Google]]. The title of the page was "Our lawyer has informed us that we need a warning. So, if you are under the age of 18 or find this offensive, pleae [sic]<ref>This typo is corrected in later versions.</ref> leave immediately", which is a reference to the text on the front page of [[Goatse.cx]]. If the user pressed Alt+F4, the Ctrl key, or the Del key, the page displayed an alert containing the same text as the page title.

The page also had a button with the text "CLICK ME", which utilized the onmouseover<ref name=":7">Occurs when the cursor enters an element.</ref> and onclick<ref name=":8">Occurs when the user clicks on an element.</ref> events to call on the procreate and playBall functions to spawn more windows. If the user attempted to close any windows, the page utilized the onunload<ref name=":9">Occurs when the user navigates away from the page, such as by clicking a link or closing the browser window.</ref> event to spawn even more.

Last Measure additionally checked if the browser was [[wikipedia:Internet_Explorer|Microsoft Internet Explorer]], and if the version of Internet Explorer was greater than or equal to 4. If both conditions were met, it saved the page URL as a bookmark titled "Idiot!".

== Version 3.4.1 ==
[[File:Lastmeasure.JPG|thumb|A screenshot of Last Measure Version 3.4.1 from September 9th, 2004.]]
<b>Last Measure Version 3.4.1</b> introduced several new developments, such as an expanded image list and more elaborate scripts. The complete image list was christmas.jpg,<ref name=":2">A picture of a person stretching her anus to [[Goatse]] proportions with a table clamp, from [[Klerck.org]].</ref> [[Lemon Party|lemonparty.jpg]], [[Rotten.com#PenisBird|ouch.jpg]],<ref>The image is called ouch.jpg. but the [[wikipedia:PHP|PHP]] file is called penisbird.php.</ref> [[Pillowfight|pillowfight.jpg]], [[Tubgirl|tubgirl.jpg]], [[spin.gif]], freak.jpg,<ref name=":3">A picture of a naked female body builder.</ref> rustina.jpg,<ref name=":4">A picture depicting Rusty's wife's face photoshopped onto a picture of a naked white woman having sex with a black man. Rusty was the creator of [[wikipedia:Kuro5hin|Kuro5hin]], a popular [[wikipedia:Slashdot|Slashdot]]-like site.</ref> loopback.jpg,<ref name=":5">A picture of a man looping his penis into his anus from [[Goatse.cx]].</ref> and eww.jpg.<ref>A picture of a young girl, with two naked people in the background, with one of them exposing his buttocks. The text "The Fuck What?!" in red is visible, with the man's naked buttocks circled in red.</ref> Instead of embedding an [[wikipedia:MP3|MP3]] to play the "HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!" audio sample, it embedded a [[Adobe Flash Player|Flash]] file called '''hey.swf''. 

The title of the page was "Our lawyer has informed us that we need a warning. So, if you are under the age of 18 or find this offensive, please leave immediately" and pressing Alt+F4 or the Ctrl key spawned an alert message with the same text. However, if the user pressed the Del key, it spawned an alert message containing credits:

PROPS TO GNAA
</pre>

Version 3.4.1 contained the same "GNAA > j00 fristage postage is mine" and "Lastmeasure last measure last-measure nero institute" text found in the original mirror. However, it utilized a more elaborate [[wikipedia:Web_browser|browser]] checking protocol. Not only did it check if the browser was Internet Explorer and the version is greater than or equal to 4, it also checked if the browser was [[wikipedia:Netscape_Navigator|Netscape Navigator]] and if it was version 4, and checks if the browser was a [[wikipedia:Gecko_(software)|Gecko]]-based browser such as [[wikipedia:Firefox|Firefox]]. It additionally checked if the user's [[wikipedia:Operating_system|operating system]] is [[wikipedia:MacOS|macOS]]. 

The procreate function in Version 3.4.1 served the same purpose of opening windows, but it only opened windows if the browser was Internet Explorer and randomly selected which shock image to display in the new window. The playBall function in Version 3.4.1 was largely unchanged, except that it lacked an [[wikipedia:Conditional_(computer_programming)|if statement]] found in the original mirror. 

The page utilized the onfocus,<ref>Occurs when an element gets focus.</ref> onblur,<ref>Occurs when an element loses focus.</ref> onmousemove,<ref name=":10">Occurs when the cursor moves over an element.</ref> onload,<ref name=":11">Occurs when an object has been loaded.</ref> onkeydown,<ref name=":12">Occurs when the user presses a key on the keyboard.</ref> and onunload<ref name=":9" /> events to open procreator.php in modeless dialog boxes.<ref>Modeless dialog boxes permit the user to interact with it while still being able to interact with other parts of the webpage or application, meaning that the user can move it around, click on other buttons or links, or perform other actions simultaneously. Modeless dialog boxes are unlike modal dialog boxes, which requires users to interact with it before they can continue interacting with other parts of the webpage or application.</ref> The page also had a large button labeled CLICK ME with pooped.jpg as the background, which made use of the onmouseover,<ref name=":7" /> onclick,<ref name=":8" /> and onmouseout<ref>Occurs when the mouse pointer moves out of an element.</ref> events to launch modeless dialog boxes containing procreator.php. 

Procreator.php executed the same payloads as the main page: spawning the alert and credits messages when specific keys are pressed, the browser and operating system checking protocol, and the procreate and playBall functions. The procreator.php file also contained the following text in first-level header tags: <pre>
PROCREATING LAST MEASURE!!!
GNAA > j00
Fristage Postage is MINE.
EAT THIS, GOOGLE TOOLBAR.
fucking nigger operating system.. at least in fucking Firebird you odn't have to do this shit.
</pre>Version 3.4.1's source code contained a string of text related to the development of the anti-popup blocker functionality:<pre>
/*
let's figure out what the fuck kind of browser the poor plebs are using :(
MSIE gets a special kind of last measure where I start off with a
ModelessDialog and pop up from it. Gets around google toolbar. -- goat-see */
</pre>The procreate function contained another code comment from goat-see:
 fuck procreating like rabbits -- goat-see
There was another string of text in the source code that reads "If you have a screen larger than this i'll eat my own shit. - this button shit is +1 insightful.". It was not rendered as visible text on the page as it was not enclosed within any HTML tags or any visual elements.

== Version 4.1 ==
Version 4.1 used the same image list<ref>PenisBird is replaced with the edited [[wikipedia:GIF|GIF]] version that depicts the macaw masturbating the penis until ejaculation.</ref> and hey.swf file as 3.4.1 but introduced several new scripts. The title of the page was "GNAA Last Measure v4.1 by Rucas with Armorfist's PopupByPasser Mod.". The function that opened windows was renamed shellscript, and the function that moved windows around was renamed movew0w. In contrast to previous versions that used basic [[wikipedia:Arithmetic|arithmetical]] calculations, movew0w used [[wikipedia:Trigonometry|trigonometric]] calculations to determine the window position. The page embedded two [[Adobe Flash Player|Flash]] files, first_opener.swf and second_opener.swf, which opened windows. 

It checked whether the user's operating system was [[wikipedia:Microsoft_Windows|Windows]], [[wikipedia:MacOS|macOS]], [[wikipedia:Linux|Linux]], [[wikipedia:OS/2|OS/2]], or [[wikipedia:BeOS|BeOS]]. It also specifically checked if the user's [[wikipedia:Web_browser|browser]] was either [[wikipedia:Opera_(web_browser)|Opera]], [[wikipedia:MSN_TV|WebTV]], [[wikipedia:Internet_Explorer|Internet Explorer]], [[wikipedia:NetPositive|NetPositive]], [[wikipedia:Internet_Explorer_Mobile|MS Pocket Internet Explorer]], [[wikipedia:Galeon|Galeon]], [[wikipedia:Konqueror|Konqueror]], [[wikipedia:ICab|iCab]], [[wikipedia:OmniWeb|OmniWeb]], Phoenix,<ref>The initial code name for [[wikipedia:Firefox|Firefox]]. </ref> Firebird<ref>The replacement name for Phoenix, due to a trademark claim from [[wikipedia:Phoenix_Technologies|Phoenix Technologies]].</ref>, [[wikipedia:Firefox|Firefox]],<ref>The replacement name for Firebird, due to pressure from the [[wikipedia:Firebird_(database_server)|Firebird]] database software project.</ref> Mozilla,<ref>Refers to the original codebase of the [[wikipedia:Netscape_Navigator|Netscape Navigator]] web browser, which was eventually rewritten and evolved into [[wikipedia:Firefox|Mozilla Firefox]].</ref> [[wikipedia:Lynx_(web_browser)|Lynx]], [[wikipedia:Amaya_(web_editor)|Amaya]], [[wikipedia:Safari_(web_browser)|Safari]], [[wikipedia:Netscape_(web_browser)|Netscape]], or [[wikipedia:AOL_Explorer|AOL Browser]].

One notable feature of Version 4.1 was that it retrieved and submitted the user's [[wikipedia:Clipboard_(computing)|clipboard]] data to a hidden form. It also collected other various user data and utilized a [[wikipedia:PHP|PHP]] script called StatsMeasure to compile it into a table. The table contained the following data: 

*ID: The unique identifier of each visit.
*Time: The date and time of the visit.
*Host: [[wikipedia:Hostname|Hostname]], [[wikipedia:IP_address|IP address]], and [[wikipedia:Port_(computer_networking)|port number]] of the visitor.
*Browser: The visitor's browser information.
*Referrer: The website that referred the visitor to the current page.
*User: The string appended to the end of the URL so that a user can track how many times a victim has clicked their link. 
*Clipboard: The content of the [[wikipedia:Clipboard_(computing)|clipboard]].

==Last Measure Unified X==
Last Measure Unified X contained a long slew of keywords in its [[wikipedia:Metadata|metadata]] and on the main page itself, which may have been an attempt to get the page listed under [[wikipedia:Google_Search|Google]]. It utilized the browser checking protocol from Version 3.4.1. The title of the page was "GNAA Last Measure Unified X". Pressing the Alt+F4 or Ctrl key spawned an alert with the text "Our lawyer has informed us that we need a warning. So, if you are under the age of 18 or find this offensive, please leave immediately". However, pressing the Del key spawned an alert message containing credits that read: <pre>

PROPS TO GNAA. LOL HY -- DiKKy (GNAA NORWAY CORRESPONDANT)
Updated by sam, Jmax, JacksonBrown, Dessimat0r, timecop, and others.
</pre>The full shock image list was [[Rotten.com#PenisBird|penisbird.gif]], [[The Pain Series#Images Featured|awesome.jpg]], [[hello.jpg]], [[Hai2u|hotblowjob.jpg]], zoidberg.jpg,<ref>[[Rotten.com]]'s "Motorcycle" image, which is likely a photo of an attempted shotgun suicide.</ref> [[Tubgirl|tubgirl.jpg]], [[Harlequin Fetus|harlequin1.jpg]], [[The Pain Series#Images Featured|Pain2.jpg]], [[Harlequin Fetus|harlequin2.jpg]], [[The Pain Series#Images Featured|Pain3.jpg]], [[Harlequin Fetus|harlequin3.jpg]], [[The Pain Series#Images Featured|Pain4.jpg]], [[The Pain Series#Images Featured|Pain5.jpg]], stretch.jpg,<ref>An image of a person stretching their anus, similar to [[Goatse]].</ref> stopracism.jpg,<ref>An image of a white man and a black man engaging in anal sex.</ref> rustina.jpg,<ref name=":4" /> pooped.jpg,<ref name=":1" /> [[The Pain Series#Images Featured|Pain.jpg]], freak.jpg,<ref name=":3" /> [[The Pain Series#Images Featured|Untitled.jpg]], [[Pillowfight|pillowfight.jpg]], loopback.jpg,<ref name=":5" /> [[Lemon Party|lemonparty.jpg]], christmas.jpg,<ref name=":2" /> weightlifter.jpg,<ref>[[Rotten.com]]'s "Weightlifter" image, which depicts a man squatting with a rectal prolapse.</ref> and [[spin.gif]]. Similar to versions 3.4.1 and 4.1, it embedded hey.swf to play the "HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!" sample. The image list also included 16 [[wikipedia:WAV|WAV]] files of various GNAA members reciting "HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!".[[File:UnifiedX Stats.png|thumb|The stats table generated by Unified X.|250x250px]]The movew0w function returned in Unified X, but the shellscript function was renamed back to procreate. Windows spawned by procreate contained the text "GNAA Gay Niggers Timecop". The main page utilized the onload,<ref name=":11" /> onmousemove,<ref name=":10" /> onmouseover,<ref name=":7" /> and onkeydown<ref name=":12" /> events to call on the procreate and movew0w functions. If the user attempted to close any windows, the page would utilize the onunload event to call upon those same functions.
Unified X introduced a function named ruin which calls an [[wikipedia:Infinite_loop|infinite loop]] in an attempt to freeze the browser. It also made various outbound connections. The site attempted to connect to the GNAA and [[wikipedia:EFnet|EFnet]] [[wikipedia:Internet_Relay_Chat|IRC]] servers, attempted to access the alt.flame.niggers and alt.flame.faggots [[wikipedia:Usenet_newsgroup|Usenet newsgroups]], and used rlogin and telnet<ref>rlogin and telnet are remote login protocols used to establish a login session on a remote computer over a network. telnet allows the user to pass [[wikipedia:Environment_variable|environment variables]] as parameters, while rlogin does not. rlogin allows the user to automatically connect, while telnet requires verification for each connection. Both rlogin and telnet transmit data in [[wikipedia:Plain_text|plain text]], making intercepted information easily readable. Due to security vulnerabilities and the availability of more secure protocols, rlogin and telnet are no longer widely used in modern networking environments.</ref> to attempt to connect to a remote address. It also contained a callto hyperlink to dial JOIN_THE_GNAA__2005_RECRUITMENT_DRIVE, and opened up the computer’s default [[wikipedia:Email_client|email client]] to compose a message to the email address JOIN@THE.GNAA with "2006_RECRUITMENT_DRIVE" as the subject and "www.gnaa.us" as the body.

Additionally, it opened up [[wikipedia:AIM_(software)|AOL Instant Messenger]] to send a message to the user "Gary_Niger" with the body "HY LOL HY LOL", and attempted to add the screennames HY, LOL, HY, LOL, HY, LOL, join, the, gnaa, 2006, RECRUITMENT, DRIVE, heartiez2incog to the AIM [[wikipedia:Contact_list|buddy list]].

The page also downloaded three files. Two of these files were "jews.wmv" and "lm.pdf". The [[wikipedia:Windows_Media_Video|WMV]] did not play or function in any way originally with the purpose to stop Windows Media Player and the [[wikipedia:PDF|PDF]] file was a redirect to Last Measure. It also attempted to download "[[wikipedia:Gayniggers_from_Outer_Space|Gayniggers From Outer Space]] [GNAA Digitally Remastered].avi" from an [[wikipedia:EDonkey_network|eDonkey]] file-sharing network.

Similar to Version 4.1, Unified X collected various user information and compiled it into a table using StatsMeasure. Users could get their name added to the "count" table by appending "?u=yourname" to the end of the URL.<ref name=":6">web.archive.org/web/20120115131335/<nowiki>http://www.gnaa.eu:80/wiki/support</nowiki></ref> It also introduced LMX Live Stats, which which tracked the number of times a user was redirected.<ref>edramatica.com/Last_Measure#Last_Measure_Unified_X</ref>

==Last Measure Live==
[[File:Nimp.org screenshot.jpg|thumb|250x250px|Last Measure Live attempting to access alt.flame.faggots, but failing due to insufficient memory.]]
Last Measure Live is the current version of Last Measure. It contains many of the payloads found in Unified X but has several new additions.   

Last Measure Live introduces more [[wikipedia:WAV|WAV]] files of various GNAA members reciting "HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!", bringing the total number of clips up to 26. The original "HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!" audio clip is included as two WAV files, one called original.wav and the other called HEY.wav.  

The directory of images is expanded to include balloonboy.jpg,<ref>Image not archived.</ref> gratin.jpg,<ref>An image of feces in a dish.</ref> [[Harlequin Fetus|harlequin4.jpg]], kiss.jpg,<ref>A gore image similar to zoidberg.jpg.</ref> lunch.jpg,<ref>An image of a man covered in feces engaging in coprophagia, from [[The Mac User|themacuser.org]].</ref> and smile.jpg.<ref>Image not archived.</ref> The index.php file references several more images sourced from [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia_Commons|Wikimedia Commons]]: SOA-Condylomata-acuminata-female.jpg,<ref>An image of a vulva afflicted by ''condylomata acuminata'', commonly known as genital warts.</ref> Agent-orange-dead-deformed-babies.jpg,<ref>An image of stillborn babies with deformities resulting from prenatal exposure to Agent Orange. The file was deleted on 10 June 2015 due to "Invalid fair-use rationale".</ref> Sodomie.jpg,<ref> An image of a man with a zucchini inserted in the anus. The file was deleted on 15 March 2022.</ref> Masturbation-Toys_Fleshlight_%28Masturbations-Spielzeug-Hilfsmittel_Fleshlight%29.gif,<ref> A GIF depicting a worm's eye view of a man penetrating a fleshlight.</ref> Child_with_Smallpox_Bangladesh.jpg,<ref>An image of a young girl with smallpox.</ref> JJ_and_TJ_about_to_have_sex.jpg,<ref> An image of a pierced penis about to penetrate a pierced vulva.</ref> Breast_reconstruction_02.jpg,<ref>An image of breast reconstruction surgery.</ref> Scat-01.jpg,<ref>The same image as gratin.jpg.</ref> and Anal3.jpg.<ref>An image of an anus with something lodged inside of it.</ref>  

Mirrors of Last Measure Live that received complaints replaced the page content with the following text in first-level header tags: "Sorry, the [website URL] website has been removed due to a complaint. Instead, you can learn more about tobacco-induced cancer on Google Images by clicking here. Please quit smoking." The last two sentences are hyperlinked to a [[wikipedia:Google_Images|Google Images]] search for "tobacco cancr"[sic].

== Hoaxes ==
There are many hoax versions of Last Measure, such as a [[Glory Hole Foundation]] variant and HTML5 version. The [[Glory Hole Foundation]] variant would supposedly "contain all images from the [[Offended]] page" and "install actual malware in a version of the [[wikipedia:MEMZ|MEMZ]] virus with shock images",<ref>bjaodn.org/wiki/Shock_site#Glory_Hole_Foundation_Last_Measure_Edition</ref> while the HTML5 version would "abuse JavaScript[,] making it very hard to leave the website once [visited]" and "[make] it impossible to even shut down the computer or use [T]ask [M]anager to kill the...web browser" with the keywords on the page relating to Last Measure, [[wikipedia:Feminism|feminism]], the [[wikipedia:LGBT|LGBT community]], [[wikipedia:Steven_Universe|''Steven Universe'']], and ''[[wikipedia:Homestuck|Homestuck]]'' as an attempt to get the webpage listed under Google and specifically fool [[wikipedia:Tumblr|Tumblr]] users.<ref>bjaodn.org/wiki/Shock_site#Last_Measure_HTML5_beta</ref>

== Soft Measure ==
[[File:Softmeasure.png|thumb|A screenshot of Soft Measure as of December 2nd, 2004.|250x250px]]
Soft Measure was a variant of Last Measure created by [[wikipedia:Sam_Hocevar|Sam Hocevar]]. It reuses the same scripts found in other Last Measure variants, such as the clipboard retrieval script, but replaces all the shock images with images of stuffed animals. The page also contained ASCII art of a teddy bear accompanied by the text "SOFT MEASURE". The "HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!" voice clip is replaced with a voice clip of a man saying "Hey, with American Online, I can just point, and click!".<ref>The voice clip is an excerpt from computerpranks.com/media/default.cfm?ItemID=210.</ref>
==Seizure Measure==
Seizure Measure, also known as Browser Bomb, used the same window-spawning and window-moving protocol as the original Last Measure, but embedded a [[Adobe Flash Player|Flash]] file called rgb.swf which contained music and bright flashing colors. The title of the page was “you have violated internet law. the authorities are being contacted.” and pressing Alt+F4, Ctrl, or Del spawned an alert with the message “You have violated Internet Law. The authorities are being contacted.”. 

Similar to Last Measure, Seizure Measure checked if the browser was [[wikipedia:Internet_Explorer|Microsoft Internet Explorer]] and if the version was 4 or higher, and if both conditions were met, it saved the page URL as a bookmark titled "Idiot!". It also attempted to set the page URL as the browser's homepage. 
==Last Measure Operating System==
[[File:LMOSFramework.png|thumb|303x303px|The framework of LMOS.]]
Last Measure Operating System (LMOS) is a minimalist [[wikipedia:Operating_system|operating system]] developed by [[wikipedia:Sam_Hocevar|Sam Hocevar]], a member of the GNAA division [[wikipedia:Goatse_Security|Goatse Security]]. It is written in [[wikipedia:X86_assembly_language|x86 assembly]] and will boot on any x86 computer. Due to its small size, it can easily fit on a CD, floppy disk, or USB drive. 

The default LMOS theme contains the following shock images: [[Goatse|hello.jpg]], [[Tubgirl|tub.jpg]], loopback.jpg,<ref name=":5" /> [[Harlequin Fetus|harlequin.jpg]], pooped.jpg,<ref name=":1" /> [[Pillowfight|pillowfight.jpg]], and [[Lemonparty|lemonparty.jpg]], and the "HEY EVERYBODY, I’M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!" audio sample.  
==LastDrive==
LastDrive is a portable Windows application created with [[wikipedia:AutoHotkey|AutoHotkey]] that forces computers to open the lastmeasure.com website. It can be configured to make the script open any shock site of the culprit's choosing and set the amount of time that the victim is forced to view it.<ref>web.archive.org/web/20070117094239/witu.net/lastdrive.html</ref> A fork named LastDrive-X was made, which expanded it to have a port to the [[wikipedia:Flipper Zero|Flipper Zero]] device.
==Trivia== 
*Last Measure shares the procreate and playBall functions with Trojan.JS.Offiz, better known as Trojan.JS.YouAreAnIdiot.<ref>github.com/AntnPantnMantn/youareanidiot.org-original-source-code/blob/master/source-code/you.js</ref>
* Various pages on Encyclopedia Dramatica, such as the "[[Offended]]" and the "[[The Pain Series|Pain Series]]" pages, contain links to Last Measure mirrors.
* According to [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]], posting a link to the <nowiki>*.on.nimp.org</nowiki> mirror on [[4chan]] gets you banned.
*The rgb.swf file embedded in Seizure Measure is the same as the rgb.swf file featured on [[Albino Blacksheep]], which displayed bright flashing [[wikipedia:RGB_color_model|RGB]] colors accompanied by a [[wikipedia:Chiptune|chiptune]] version of "[[wikipedia:Axel_F|Axel F]]" from ''[[wikipedia:Beverly_Hills_Cop_(film_series)|Beverly Hills Cop]].''<ref>"<nowiki>http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/rgb.php</nowiki> - This is a harmless version of Browser Bomb. This version does not abuse javascript. '''WARNING: Do not follow this link if you are prone to epileptic seizures."''' (from BJAODN's "Shock site" page, which is listed below under "Further Reading")</ref> The animation was also known as E-SHROOMS on teamdead.net.
* The page at nero-online.org contained a link to a version of LastMeasure without shock images called SafeMeasure.<ref>web.archive.org/web/20040101132909/<nowiki>http://nero-online.org/</nowiki></ref>
* Last Measure made use of a [[wikipedia:Java_applet|Java applet]] called CoffeeMeasure that spawned several Java application windows that moved around the screen.<ref>web.archive.org/web/20170111162842/<nowiki>http://screamer.wikia.com/wiki/Last_Measure</nowiki></ref>
* Several Last Measure mirrors made use of [[wikipedia:Wildcard_DNS_record|wildcard domains]].
** The full list of wildcard domains was: *.on.nimp.org, *.on.zoy.org, *.roflol.fr, *.ipademu.com, *.ipad-crack.com, *.4chanmirror.com, *.animeforums.eu, *.animetorrents.me, *.moviepiayer.com, *.ircpaste.me, *.troiiing.com, *.mediapiayer.com, *.antignaa.com, *.nimpblock.com, *.wikipaste.eu, *.bioghost.com, *.sarahpaiin.com, *.iinux.be, and *.feenode.net.
* Many Last Measure mirrors made use of [[wikipedia:Bait-and-switch|bait-and-switch]] tactics to deceive victims into visiting them.
** The mirror forums.ddrparadise.eu.org was created to deceive those looking for the DDRParadise forums into visiting Last Measure. The forums were actually located at boards.ddrparadise.eu.org.
** Many wildcard mirrors, such as *.bioghost.com, utilized the upper case "i" (*.bIoghost.com) as it can easily be mistaken for a lower case "l". In the case of *.bioghost.com, the use of the upper case "i" may have deceived the victim into thinking they were accessing a [[wikipedia:Blog|blogging]] platform.
* Many mirrors act as [[wikipedia:URL_redirection#Redirect_chains|redirect chains]] to other Last Measure mirrors.
* An early version of Last Measure called Last Measure Version 3.4 contained [[wikipedia:ASCII_art|ASCII art]] of Goatse and the clipboard-retrieving payload.
** An early archive of softmeasure.zoy.org that ran Version 3.4 contained ASCII art of a teddy bear instead of Goatse,<ref>view-source:web.archive.org/web/20041205032410/softmeasure.zoy.org/</ref> and was supposedly a version of Last Measure without shock images.<ref>epicroadtrips.us/2003/summer/nola/nola_offsite/FQ_en.wikipedia.org/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_shock_sites.html#Modified</ref>
* The mirror cshacks.partycat.us ran a version of Last Measure called Last Measure Version 3.4.4 Saturn. While its index.php was not archived, the stats.php page can be accessed, revealing that It used StatsMeasure to generate a table of various user data.
* There was a malicious script that affected Garry's Mod named the "G-Man Virus", which would jumpscare the player with a texture of G-Man's face before opening nimp.org, with the jews.wmv file supposedly being gay pornography.<ref>steamcommunity.com/app/4000/discussions/1/648816742798726113</ref><ref>youtube.com/watch?v=nxlnWMoapO8</ref> However, this is currently unconfirmed as no proof appears to exist.
* An early version of Unified X called Unified differed in several ways:
