'''Google Hammer''' was a [[shock site]] and malicious variant of [[Meatspin]] created in 2012.


Upon opening, the [[Flash]] content for [[Meatspin]] and its accompanying music begin autoplaying in a continuous loop. Simultaneously, a barrage of alert pop-ups appears on the screen, trapping the user and preventing them from closing the window. The pop-ups primarily display the lyrics of the accompanying song ''[[wikipedia:You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)|You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)]]'', which read:
*Awww, don't leave yet! The fun has just begun!
*Sing along with me!
*You spin me right round, baby
*right round like a record, baby
*ONE MORE TIME
*THAT NEVER HURT DID IT
Another browser payload overloads [[wikipedia:Shockwave Flash|Shockwave Flash]] using a custom SWFObject script. This causes non-Internet Explorer browsers to crash, while [[wikipedia:Internet Explorer|Internet Explorer]] triggers dialog boxes, alters the window title upon exit, and shrinks the browser window to a quarter of its size in one of the four screen corners.
The title page for Google Hammer jokingly states that "''Marketing Information So Good It'll Spin Your Head Right Round.''".
A meta description accompanying the fake tagline also read:
"''Your resource for diving headfirst into internet marketing the right way. Once you experience Google Hammer, you'll wonder how you ever survived without it.''"
==Infoslash.net==
The source code for ''Google Hammer'' was largely taken from ''Infoslash.net'', which was a typosquatting site designed to mimic [[wikipedia:Slashdot|Slashdot]] through the clever wordplay of "Info Slash (dot) net."
Infoslash was actually much more popular than ''Google Hammer'', and frequent mentions of it can be found in old discussion forums as well as on [[Reddit]] and [[wikipedia:Facebook|Facebook]] at present times. On March 10, 2009, a description was contained within a [[wikipedia:Steam|Steam]] group named "Team Infoslash" where the [[website]] was listed as their official homepage.<ref>steamcommunity.com/groups/teaminfoslash</ref> The same script featured on ''Infoslash.net'' is found on a Brazilian mirror site, ''top5.lupee.com.br:80/top.htm'', where the song lyrics are replaced with dialog box labels in Portuguese.
==Makemoniesonline==
Previously, a variation of ''Google Hammer'' was formed by a [[Meatspin]] mirror called Makemoniesonline, though it was less malicious. Fears were held by some users that harmful applications could be downloaded onto their devices by the website, but this claim was debunked.
The website is contained with explicit lyrics referencing "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley; for instance, a message such as "You've been Dick Rolled" would be displayed, which, according to an entry on Urban Dictionary by user Spyker44, would appear if the site was closed immediately after the animated image appeared. The words such as
<ref>googlehammer.urbanup.com/4190950</ref>
Despite Google Hammer originating there, Makemoniesonline was originally derived and technically drawn from [[Sourmath]] (most notably [[Nobrain.dk]]), as evidenced by its exact content replacement, browser windows, and pop-ups.
