Daily 10 Dot Everything (*Yeah yeah, another surf)

Always looking for the next big surf, and being only a member of one at the moment (GlobalAdsPro from Trish, who has ties to DadnDaves and 12By12 - I’m too lazy to join 12By12 because the huge initial influx of members may actually cripple it quickly, but there’s a good chance David Cannard has a REAL plan to make it work) I stumbled across Daily10Surf.

Yep another one with “Daily” etc. in the name.

Why? Well the hype is growing quickly on places like MMG, they’re already paying, and super quick, their admin is well spoken and they stood out from the crowd a little because they’ve got banner ads almost everywhere.

Also, even though a lot of surfs pretend to go down because of DDOSes and the like, ’security’ is a big worry for the average Joe (not realizing that most DDOSes are faked or exit strategies.) However, by having a big spiel about security and having it in place early, the average Joe will think “hmm, they’re safe from DDOSes and hackers!” and ‘invest’ into the game.

So, Daily10Surf have a lot of the components needed to capitalize upon and become a big gun. It’s just a matter of whether they will or not! (It’s all one big game, yo.)

Here’s some chatter from the admin:

Security is Important to You and Us. Therefore we have taken several steps to ensure that the site remains secure at all time. We have implemented the following.

E-Gold Account Number :: When a new member joins they have the option to enter an E-Gold Account number. Once the account has been created it is impossible for any member to change this field. Only the admins of Daily10Surf can alter this.

Fake Upgrade Attempt :: Any attempt to cheat our system will fail. We get notified of all fake upgrade attempts by email with certain information regarding the cheater. This is 100% secure.

CHKRootKit :: We have installed this program that looks for known signatures in trojaned system binaries, it basically detects if our system has been compromised.

Rootkit Hunter :: A scanning tool to find most types of exploits (backdoors, suspicious files, md5 hash comparisons, and is over 99% accurate in detecting such exploits.

APF Firewall :: Is installed and configured to only allow traffic on the ports that are used. In addition, the Anti-DOS function in the APF has been configured. This additional module helps mitigate and prevent certain types of DOS (denial of service) attacks to the server.

BFD (Brute Force Detection) :: This program works real time in conjunction with APF firewall to block any IP Addresses of users that fail authentication more than 3 times in 10 minutes.

Logwatch :: This program parses through the server’s logs and reports to us via e-mail on a daily basis with tabulated information.

SIM (System Integrity Monitor) :: This software checks all services 24×7 and restarts them if they are down. An e-mail is dispatched a downed service is detected and restarted.

Apache (HTTPD) :: Has been optimised and secured.

MySQL Server :: Has been optimised to perform at its best under the most common and standard environments.

Host.conf :: Has been secured and hardened to prevent DNS lookup poisoning and also provide protection against spoofs.

Nsswitch.conf :: Has been secured and hardened. It will also be optimised to perform DNS lookups more efficiently.

Sysctl.conf :: Has been secured and hardened to help prevent the TCP/IP stack from syn-flood attacks. It has also been configured to prevent other various and similar network abuse.

Root Login :: A root login notification script and logger has been installed. This will send an e-mail to ‘root’ user everytime someone logs into the server as root. Also, it will keep track of all logins in a history file located in /var/log/rootlogins.

SPRI :: This program changes the priority of different processes in accordance to their level of importance.

MultiTail :: Has been installed and gives us the ability to tail (view realtime activity) multiple log files simultaneously.

SSH2 SSH :: Has been hardened by restricting the SSH Protocol to SSH 2. SSH will function the same way, just more secure.

Background Process Killer :: Has been enabled to kill any of the following which are commonly recognized bad processes: *****X, bnc, eggdrop, generic-sniffers, guardservices, ircd, psyBNC, ptlink and related services.

FTP Software :: Has been upgraded and secured.

Password Scan :: Will run and simulate a basic password scan hack attempt and the results will be emailed to ‘root’ user.

This is not going to be fly by night operation, we will make this a success.”

Nice hey? A bit different. I’ve never seen a list or similar thing like this released by the admin so early on, and I believe it is his own original wording - I think little ‘press releases’ like this alone will draw a lot of people in.

At least they’ve got some of the building blocks of a (relatively) long term game in place and they are very new, but have past the first few days of hurdles and are paying.

Daily10Surf

Make of it what you will!

On a side note, many people are theorizing this is from the people behind Daily11… I personally don’t think so, or at least not directly so, as their attitudes are quite different (Daily10 admin is much better at taking things with a sense of humour.)

This was his reply:

“Is the admin of 13DP the same as the old 12DP site?

What about 24DP, is that the same admin as 13DP and 12DP?

The vast majority of sites use the same script and base there plans on other sites.”

And this is too true. Remember its a game, and about 60% - 70% of HYIPs/autosurfs are all rumoured to come from the same source. However, this big group of scammers are very smart and well set up and, honestly, do you see them just releasing a slight variation on the same old theme each month? They go to further lengths than that to dupe us out of our money.

This is also from the MMG forums, from a member who acts as a VM rep…

“HEY YA’LL -

I can verify this - Wayne has applied as VM merchant, or is in process. That requires a good deal of personal information that is verified, so I think all the nay-sayers can probably relax a bit! Hopefully we’ll have VM hopping here shortly!”

Wise words from the admin in regards to payouts: “Paying super quick causes problems. As the membership grows and the number of requests increase the timescale to process these requests also increase. If member A requests in the first few days and gets paid within an hour and then requests again a few weeks later and that is not processed for a day or two due to the number increase in requests they start to panic and shout on the forums.” Just the fact that he publicly acknowledges this early on could hopefully see a few more weeks life on top of the norm.

Either way, treat it as a game and it won’t matter either way. All that matters with basically every autosurf is good management and a constant influx. Plan a strategy - many people like to go in ‘hard’ straight up and then play with the profit. It takes down your risk window a lot, but to each his own.

And hey, there’s always quality out there if you couldn’t be bothered playing a game! :)

Chancer’s Final Thought

I’ve been watching a lot of Jerry Springer… Anyway, Daily10 has potential. It doesn’t have the immediate obvious potential of the last round of truly ‘big guns’ (Compact, Phoenix and Wired) seemed to have out of the gate. The one immediate thing which could turn punters off this one is them making a mental association with this and Daily11, which, although possible, they also have to realize that huge amounts of these surfs are all linked. However, the admin has stated that these things ‘don’t last forever,’ and has a different ingrained personality to a few of the other admins. It’s easy to fake grammar but not the underlying traits. The honesty about not lasting forever, combined with his focus, at least PR wise, on security, and with him stating that super quick payments kill the program (when they slow down, panic happens and new money stops coming in) makes me think they could top the one month mark easy and have a good chance at going towards two months. Little things like the payments having that leeway could theoretically add weeks of life. Predicting too far ahead is moot. As with all surfs, ‘time will tell.’ Oh and the fact they have a blanket advertising campaign, and bought pretty much every domain name extension you can think of, will hopefully help spur along continued growth.

No point in going any deeper than that… cos it’s an autosurf. It’d be a waste of brain cells.
