Monstertripping.biz

This page is based off a fictional topic, so when you're reading, at least try to pretend it's real.
***Monstertripping.biz*** was a website on the Monsters Browser created by The Monsters on May 23rd, 2019. It was closed on January 13, 2023 by The Monsters but was opened back up as legacy on September 6, 2023 as a non-malware downloading website.

## Redirects

The story of the website was a monster tripping, text below the monster saying “Redirecting…”, then after the monster trips, the user would be redirected to malware downloading websites (audiodownloads.pl, monsterdan.se, centralmalware.monster, etc.) .monster is a valid domain on the Monster Browser. After malware was downloaded, monstertripping.biz tells the user that they will be redirected again in 15 seconds.

### Anti-Anti-Virus

Monstertripping.biz would never redirect the user to any anti-virus websites, it made sure not to so the “malware chains” could keep going.

### The Core 15

Monstertripping.biz would choose a random website out of 15 Monster websites to redirect to, until a change was made adding 5 more on August 26th, 2020.

#### audiodownloads.pl

Audiodownloads.pl would ask the user to download “audio” (malware) on their computer. If they didn’t respond, the malware would be automatically downloaded in 30 seconds.

#### monsterdan.se

Monsterdan.se was a website where the user could watch the Monsters dance, eventually, after 1 minute of them dancing, malware starts being installed. The music that they danced to was called “The Malware Song.”

#### centralmalware.monster

Centralmalware.monster had a button on the center of the screen saying, “Earn $1,000,000!” If clicked on, malware would be installed instead of actually earning the prize. However, this scam only tricked about 6,650 of 2,400,000 users.

#### html.tests.monster

Html.tests.monster was a website that said they offered “coding practice.” If the link was visited, the user would be directed to another website named hahatricked.malwarehunt.monster, where malware would be installed.

#### hahatricked.malwarehunt.monster

Hahatricked.malwarehunt.monster was the website where any of the “tricks” that were clicked on would redirect to. Once redirected to, the website would immediately ask the user to install “27 protective files.”

#### packe.sr

Packe.sr was a website that attempted to be like packe.rs, but try to scam people and make them get malware instead of apparel. Packe.sr had an attempt of removal by Suriname on January 31st, 2021. The attempt of removal was successful due to a $200,000 fine agreement.

#### bigfornier.net

Bigfornier.net was a website on the Monsters Browser that attempted the removal of anti-viruses by installing anti-virus removers. After installed, the anti-virus removers could not remove an anti-virus, so the website was deleted by The Monsters on September 19th, 2019.

## Large file installs

Of the sites that monstertripping.biz redirected to, some had the installing of large files (>1GB).

## Criticism

The Monsters Browser was criticized by over 1 million people through out its history until September 19th, 2022, mainly because of monstertripping.biz.

### Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady files

There was malware on the monstertripping.biz redirects that were about NFL quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady. This type of malware was criticized because there were people who liked these two quarterbacks who obviously knew these Monster files were making fun of them.

## Loss of money

The Monsters were losing a lot of money because of installing malware on everyone’s computers and being fined as a result, because of this, monstertripping.biz and other monster websites were removed from the Monsters Browser on September 13th, 2022.

### $1.75 million fine for malware installing

In 2022 due to automatic malware installing from monstertripping.biz redirects, the Monsters were fined $1.75 million for their actions. This fine most likely led to the removal of monstertripping.biz.

## Visitor data

Monstertripping.biz nearing its end started losing a lot of users, there were 4.45 million visitors in March 2021 and only 2.31 million in August 2022, resulting in a 48% decrease in that time period.

## Closing and reopening

### Closing

### Reopening

After Monster’s death on September 6, 2023, The Monsters opened up monstertripping.biz again to be a little tribute to Monster and also malware-free. It was just brought back by The Monsters as a showing of legacy. People supported the addition of monstertripping.biz without malware, and it reminded them of the “funny” animation they once saw before.
