The Last Measure banner.

Last Measure was a shock site made in 2004 by the internet trolling group Gay Nigger Association of America (GNAA). The site was created by Penisbird, a member of the GNAA.

Many variants of Last Measure exist, as the code for Last Measure versions 3.4.1 and 4.1 were made available under the 2-Clause BSD license on the lastmeasure.com site.

History

An early version of Last Measure was conceived by Penisbird after playing with an AOL Instant Messenger (AOL) 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 the 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 fristage postage[4] is mine" is seen at the top of the page. Below is 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 is "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][5] 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[6] and onclick[7] 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[8] 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 would save the page URL as a bookmark titled “Idiot!”.

Version 3.4.1

Last Measure Version 3.4.1 introduces several developments no found in the original mirror. The complete image list is Christmas.jpg, Lemon Party, Penisbird, Pillowfight, Tubgirl, spin.gif, freak.jpg, rustina.jpg, Loopback.jpg, and eww.jpg. Instead of embedding an MP3 to play the "HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!" audio sample, it embeds a Flash file called hey.swf.

The title of the page is "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 spawns an alert message with the same text. However, if the user presses the Del key, it displays a list of 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!

PROPS TO GNAA

Version 3.4.1 contains the same "GNAA > j00 fristage postage is mine" and "Lastmeasure last measure last-measure nero institute" text found in the original mirror. However, it utilizes a more elaborate browser checking protocol. Not only does it check if the browser is Internet Explorer and the version is greater than or equal to 4, it checks if the browser is Netscape Navigator and if it is version 4, and checks if the browser is a Gecko-based browser like Firefox. It additionally checks if the user's operating system is macOS.

The procreate function in Version 3.4.1 serves the same purpose of opening windows, but it only opens windows if the browser is Internet Explorer and randomly selects which shock image to display in the new window. The playBall function in Version 3.4.1 is largely unchanged, except that it lacks a certain if statement found in the original mirror.

The page utilizes the onfocus, onblur, onmousemove, onload, onkeydown, and onunload events to open procreator.php in modeless dialog boxes.[9] The page also has a button labeled CLICK ME, which makes use of the onmouseover, onclick, and onmouseout events to launch modeless dialog boxes containing procreator.php.

Procreator.php calls upon js.inc, which contains 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 contains 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 contains 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 contains another code comment from goat-see:

fuck procreating like rabbits -- goat-see

There is 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 is not rendered as visible text on the page as it is not enclosed within any HTML tags or displayed in any visual elements.

Nimp.org

Main article: Nimp.org

Nimp.org utilized many payloads not found in the original Last Measure, such as making various outbound connections, opening the user's default email client, and downloading files, which can be observed in other variants and mirrors. It also included many more shock images, such as the Pain Series and Harlequin Fetus images, and a slew of keywords in its metadata and the body of the main page.

Seizure Measure

Seizure Measure, also known as Browser Bomb, used the same window-spawning and window-moving protocol as Last Measure, but embedded two Flash files, rgb.swf and seizure7.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 Intenet Explorer and if the version is 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 using setHomePage, which only worked in Internet Explorer.

Last Measure Operating System

The Last Measure Operating System (LMOS) is a minimalist operating system developed by Sam Hocevar, a member of Goatse Security, which was a division of the GNAA. 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, harlequin.jpg, pooped.jpg, pillowfight.jpg, and lemonparty.jpg, and the "HEY EVERYBODY, I’M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO" audio sample.

Trivia

  • Last Measure shares the procreate and playBall functions with Trojan.JS.Offiz, better known as Trojan.JS.YouAreAnIdiot.
  • According to the "Last Measure" page on 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.
  • Various pages on Encyclopedia Dramatica, such as the "Offended" and the "Pain Series" pages, contain links to Last Measure mirrors.
  • The rgb.swf file embedded in Seizure Measure is the same as the rgb.swf file featured on Albino Blacksheep, which displays bright flashing RGB colors accompanied by a chiptune version of "Axel F" from Beverly Hills Cop.
  • Some mirrors, such as cryogenix.co.uk/Hacking-tutorial.txt, utilize JavaScript to retrieve and submit the user's clipboard data.

  2. A picture of a woman's face with feces on it, which originates from bangedup.com.
  3. A reference to fsck, a Unix utility that checks the file system for damage.
  4. "fristage postage" is a reference to first post, an Internet meme written by an internet user to indicate their discovery of an until-then uncommented entry. (Wikipedia)

  6. Occurs when the cursor enters an element.
  7. Occurs when the user clicks on an element.
  8. Occurs when the user navigates away from the page, such as by clicking a link or closing the browser window.
  9. 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.
