Content Warning!
The following work contains content and material that some may find shocking. Reader discretion is advised.

The Last Measure banner.

Last Measure was a shock site created in 2003 by Penisbird, a member of the internet trolling group 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 AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) utility called AIM Invader, which provided a variety of ways to crash AIM clients.[1]

The most powerful crash was the "last measure" crash, which inundated an AIM client with file transfer requests, buddy list sends, and messages full of smileys and colors, until the AIM client crashed due to lack of RAM.[1]

Behavior

Last Measure displayed pooped.jpg[2] upon immediately entering the website. It set Goatse as the page's background, and opened numerous browser windows via a JavaScript function called procreate containing either Pillowfight, 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,[3] which was a sample of a man screaming "HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!".

The text "GNAA > j00[4] fristage postage[5] 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 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][6] 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[7] and onclick[8] 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[9] event to spawn even more.

Last Measure additionally checked if the browser was 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

Last Measure Version 3.4.1 introduced several new developments, such as an expanded image list and more elaborate scripts. The complete image list was christmas.jpg,[10] lemonparty.jpg, ouch.jpg,[11] pillowfight.jpg, tubgirl.jpg, spin.gif, freak.jpg,[12] rustina.jpg,[13] loopback.jpg,[14] and eww.jpg.[15] Instead of embedding an MP3 to play the "HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!" audio sample, it embedded a 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:

LAST MEASURE VERSION 3.3 BY PENISBIRD.
Starring:
Spin
Tubgirl
Lemonparty
Bob Goatse
Penisbird
Pillowfight
Christmas
Rusty's Wife
What the fuck? That guy's ass is showing in his baby's picture!

hey.swf by rkz
PROPS TO GNAA

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 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 Netscape Navigator and if it was version 4, and checks if the browser was a Gecko-based browser such as Firefox. It additionally checked if the user's operating system is 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 if statement found in the original mirror.

The page utilized the onfocus,[16] onblur,[17] onmousemove,[18] onload,[19] onkeydown,[20] and onunload[9] events to open procreator.php in modeless dialog boxes.[21] The page also had a large button labeled CLICK ME with pooped.jpg as the background, which made use of the onmouseover,[7] onclick,[8] and onmouseout[22] 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:

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.

Version 3.4.1's source code contained a string of text related to the development of the anti-popup blocker functionality:

/* 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 */

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[23] 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 arithmetical calculations, movew0w used trigonometric calculations to determine the window position. The page embedded two Flash files, first_opener.swf and second_opener.swf, which opened windows.

It checked whether the user's operating system was Windows, macOS, Linux, OS/2, or BeOS. It also specifically checked if the user's browser was either Opera, WebTV, Internet Explorer, NetPositive, MS Pocket Internet Explorer, Galeon, Konqueror, iCab, OmniWeb, Phoenix,[24] Firebird[25], Firefox,[26] Mozilla,[27] Lynx, Amaya, Safari, Netscape, or AOL Browser.

One notable feature of Version 4.1 was that it retrieved and submitted the user's clipboard data to a hidden form. It also collected other various user data and utilized a 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: Hostname, IP address, and 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 clipboard.

Last Measure Unified X

Last Measure Unified X contained a long slew of keywords in its metadata and on the main page itself, which may have been an attempt to get the page listed under 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:

Tubgirl
Lemonparty

Christmas
Rusty's Wife
What the fuck? That guy's ass is showing in his baby's picture!

Total, complete, all-versions, popup blocker bashing-to-pieces by goat-see
hey.swf by rkz
PROPS TO GNAA. LOL HY -- DiKKy (GNAA NORWAY CORRESPONDANT)
Updated by sam, Jmax, JacksonBrown, Dessimat0r, timecop, and others.

The full shock image list was penisbird.gif, awesome.jpg, hello.jpg, hotblowjob.jpg, zoidberg.jpg,[28] tubgirl.jpg, harlequin1.jpg, Pain2.jpg, harlequin2.jpg, Pain3.jpg, harlequin3.jpg, Pain4.jpg, Pain5.jpg, stretch.jpg,[29] stopracism.jpg,[30] rustina.jpg,[13] pooped.jpg,[2] Pain.jpg, freak.jpg,[12] Untitled.jpg, pillowfight.jpg, loopback.jpg,[14] lemonparty.jpg, christmas.jpg,[10] weightlifter.jpg,[31] 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 WAV files of various GNAA members reciting "HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!".

The stats table generated by Unified X.

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,[19] onmousemove,[18] onmouseover,[7] and onkeydown[20] 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 infinite loop in an attempt to freeze the browser. It also made various outbound connections. The site attempted to connect to the GNAA and EFnet IRC servers, attempted to access the alt.flame.niggers and alt.flame.faggots Usenet newsgroups, and used rlogin and telnet[32] 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 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 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 buddy list.

The page also downloaded three files. Two of these files were "jews.wmv" and "lm.pdf". The WMV did not play or function in any way originally with the purpose to stop Windows Media Player and the PDF file was a redirect to Last Measure. It also attempted to download "Gayniggers From Outer Space [GNAA Digitally Remastered].avi" from an 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.[33] It also introduced LMX Live Stats, which which tracked the number of times a user was redirected.[34]

Last Measure Live

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 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,[35] gratin.jpg,[36] harlequin4.jpg, kiss.jpg,[37] lunch.jpg,[38] and smile.jpg.[39] The index.php file references several more images sourced from Wikimedia Commons: SOA-Condylomata-acuminata-female.jpg,[40] Agent-orange-dead-deformed-babies.jpg,[41] Sodomie.jpg,[42] Masturbation-Toys_Fleshlight_%28Masturbations-Spielzeug-Hilfsmittel_Fleshlight%29.gif,[43] Child_with_Smallpox_Bangladesh.jpg,[44] JJ_and_TJ_about_to_have_sex.jpg,[45] Breast_reconstruction_02.jpg,[46] Scat-01.jpg,[47] and Anal3.jpg.[48]

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 Google Images search for "tobacco cancr".

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 MEMZ virus with shock images",[49] 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, feminism, the LGBT community, Steven Universe, and Homestuck as an attempt to get the webpage listed under Google and specifically fool Tumblr users.[50]

Soft Measure

A screenshot of Soft Measure as of December 2nd, 2004.

Soft Measure was a variant of Last Measure created by 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!".[51]

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 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 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

The framework of LMOS.

Last Measure Operating System (LMOS) is a minimalist operating system developed by Sam Hocevar, a member of the GNAA division Goatse Security. It is written in 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: hello.jpg, tub.jpg, loopback.jpg,[14] harlequin.jpg, pooped.jpg,[2] pillowfight.jpg, and lemonparty.jpg, and the "HEY EVERYBODY, I’M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!" audio sample.

LastDrive

LastDrive is a portable Windows application created with 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.[52] A fork named LastDrive-X was made, which expanded it to have a port to the Flipper Zero device.

Trivia

  • Last Measure shares the procreate and playBall functions with Trojan.JS.Offiz, better known as Trojan.JS.YouAreAnIdiot.[53]
  • Various pages on Encyclopedia Dramatica, such as the "Offended" and the "Pain Series" pages, contain links to Last Measure mirrors.
  • According to Encyclopedia Dramatica, posting a link to the *.on.nimp.org 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 RGB colors accompanied by a chiptune version of "Axel F" from Beverly Hills Cop.[54] 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.[55]
  • Last Measure made use of a Java applet called CoffeeMeasure that spawned several Java application windows that moved around the screen.[56]
  • Several Last Measure mirrors made use of 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 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 blogging platform.
  • Many mirrors act as redirect chains to other Last Measure mirrors.
  • An early version of Last Measure called Last Measure Version 3.4 contained 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,[57] and was supposedly a version of Last Measure without shock images.[58]
  • 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.[59][60] However, this is currently unconfirmed as no proof appears to exist.
  • An early version of Unified X called Unified differed in several ways:
    • It did not have the list of keywords on its main page or in its metadata.
    • It did not include any Harlequin Fetus images or images from the Pain Series.
    • The file that it attempted to download from eDonkey was "Star.Wars.Episode.III.Revenge.of.the.Sith.2005.PROPER.DVDRip.XviD-GNAA.avi".
    • It contained a function called extruin, which entered a for loop that iterated five times. In each iteration of the loop, it called the functions add(mail) and add(news). After all five loops completed, it called on the ruin function.
  • The GNAA released an updated version of Unified X called Unified X-2 which was more effective at bypassing pop-up blockers and other browser security protocols. It was made available via private distribution in the GNAA IRC channel.[33]
  • According to Encyclopedia Dramatica, the GNAA was developing a version of Last Measure called RubyMeasure, which was to be written in the Ruby programming language. It was expected to launch in May 2013, but was ultimately cancelled.[61]

Both rlogin and telnet transmit data in 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.
