How does it work? 
Calls up a simple iFrame, makes it small (in case it hits a site that you wouldn't want someone to see) and loads that site up. After a delay, it loads the next random site. If you have cookies enabled, you can set options like how fast it refreshes, reset the counter, pause it, how random things are, etc.
It's all client based, so it generates real HTTP traffic. The code is very simple and straight forward, should work on all browsers (tested it on Firefox, IE, Opera, Safari so far)
The different randomization modes work as:
Standard: Just a random 12 character site name, it might be real, might not.
Variable Length: Like standard except the domain will be between 5 and 15 characters, so might actually hit a real site in between sometimes.
Mix with Real Site: Basically as it says, you get random sites that don't exist and real sites that do (pop up blocker recommended just in case, it is random after all)
Crazy Random: A mixture of all three above, so you don't know what the heck it will do. Maybe a real site, maybe a bogus site, maybe garbage.
I was laughing the entire time I wrote the code for this. | |

kudos:11 | Interesting. Your link will open up on FF, but on IE7 I get a redirect to a Gateway Google page. If I enter the IP address directly (obtained from the FF screen) I get:
"The Website You Are Looking For Is No Longer Active.
Please Contact Your Hosting Company"

If I enter the IP address directly (obtained from the FF screen) I get: "The Website You Are Looking For Is No Longer Active. Please Contact Your Hosting Company" I did find a bug in the code related to the random site generation, not sure if that is what causes IE7 to bomb out. Yeah, direct site IP access is disabled for security reasons.
I did notice that it runs much slower in IE than all the others, mainly due to the way IE "stalls" on the invalid domains with it's own "domain not found" page. Can't help that in IE though, just the nature of the Microsoft beast.  | |
