How to prevent someone from framing or cloning your site?

[monsp3]

Just help the others from cloning, the main problem is not about the cloning it's about the stealing of server resource, the guy is using PHP curl, beware of loadmob.com

he's currently stealing stuffs from downloadswap.net right now,

people stop talking about not worrying about things like this because I am in a dedicated server 500GB = 19.99$ and I use about 150 - 180GB a day and with that guy tried to clone me it increases, I upgraded my bandwidth like 5 times last month.

If don't have anything good to say or to contribute, just STFU!

Simple thing to do, hack his site, host a cookie stealer and the idiot we fall for the trick.

[monsp3]

I dont have any idea on how to do that, you might know and might wanna help?

There isnt any way to "stop" people from cloning it, the only possible way to stop people is not to tell anyone about it lol otherwise get some copyrights etc.. that may help but there will always be someone out there who will copy it.
thats the art of coding, so many people can do it they just seem to abuse it

[monsp3]

^ thumbs down! no further comments.

I wana assume ur site is a download site then? Its easy, dont hotlink your files. Add a captcha that pops up anytime u wana download a file. Make sure all ur downloads go through a file dl.php?f=(file_id or file_name).

So ur dl file could be something LIKE:

<?php define('__SILENCE__','Silence is golden.');
/**
* $id dl.php 15-04-2010 09:00 mobilegigs $
*
* @author Neo Ighodaro
* @copyright CreativityKills (c) 2010
*/

// Simple post check
if ( ! $_POST)
{
 // Display a captcha page
 include_once 'captcha_form.php';
 exit;
}
else
{
 // POST was made, verify the Captcha
 if( ! empty($_SESSION['captcha']) AND ! empty($_POST['captcha']) AND ($_POST['captcha'] === $_SESSION['captcha']))
 {
   // Allow download :)
   $dl_from = isset($_GET['f']) ? $_GET['f'] : NULL;
   header('Location: '.$dl_from);
   exit;
 }
}

To make everythng safer, ur link shud neva have the folder name its downloading from
BAD: dl.php?f=mp3/music_file.mp3
BETTER: dl.php?f=music_file.mp3&from=1
BEST: dl.php?from=5am5gtjai&f=music_file.mp3 (from should probably be an md5 encrypted name ov ur folder)

in ur dl.php u may add a

function valid_folder($md5_folder)
{
/// Loop ur dir names(md5 encrypted) to see if any matches the md5 argument
/// also check the files existence if the folder is found
/// if any ov d above conditions fail, bail
} 

You have to work out the rest coding urself as i duno how ur site is coded. Bt u have an idea ov wot 2 do. Gudluck. Oh also change ur folder name, dnt use conventional names like mp3, video, music n sh!t.

add hotlink protection to it. if someone is referred to download page from some other site, just take them to your home page.

Referrer can be spoofed easily bt ah wel enjoy

its the people who worry about other people copying them that are the real loosers in this game
rather than worrying about that crap, do something about it and create a site more unique with advanced features than before

amount of people who copy my site, its features and themes, i couldnt give a flying pigs ass about it just shows i'm obviously doing something right

[Loony]

completely agree with amylee if ppl wana to copy or clone ur site it must be something special.

[monsp3]

please read the message carefully, it's not just about cloning, Im most worried about the site stealing bandwidth from my site.

It's not like he copied it manually and downloading and uploading stuffs from my site but he uses PHP curl something like that to like "FRAME" my site removing my ads my logos, inserting his own .

Each time a person tries to download from his site it would be deducted in my server, 500GB cost 19.99$ in godaddy and I use like 150-180GB a day and it increases when this guy does the said trick.

I stop replying from this thread because I already found a way to stop him and he is now cloning downloadswap.net's site.

People stop talking **** specially if you don't know what you are talking about.

[ozziemale31]

u could also block his site accessing yours thru yr cpanel thus rendering a nice 504 error whe his visitors click links to your downloads

i posted leechers fook off tool here not long ago and yes it works

and i tell you now i dont care for cloning but leeching from my site i will bitch slap you and your ugly site down....

lol
