Password Security System Sucks!

LindaMight · 2004-01-27, 08:05 PM

My site has been the target of hurlers over and over and over the past few years. We have a hosting company that has placed Password Sentry on it and it was working great for general password abuse, but when the hurlers began with the automated guessing programs and actually guessed a bunch of passwords and posted them, my bandwidth went through the roof! The hosting company added the extra security of typing in a code each time and that keeps out the hurlers and the automatic programs BUT....it has created havoc with members who are having a hard time signing in, or having to sign in multiple times, or it isn't compatible with AOL, or something!

Does anyone know of a good security system that I can put on my site. My hosting company uses this one and it really SUCKS! Either that or it isn't installed right or something. HELP!!!

Thanks,
Linda

ps: if it isn't pirates, thieves and copyright infringement, it's hackers!

Linda,

Talk to Ray at http://www.webmastersguide.com/ about his StrongBox software/system.

Tell him DangerDave sent you.

65$ will get you locked up tight

Thanks, DangerDave. Here's a little more info on Strongbox.
Strongbox is a whole new approach that is WAY above and beyond
anything like Password Sentry.
Not only does it keep the hurlers from getting in, but it discourages
them from even continueing the attack and slowing your server.
It protects from hurlers (brute force attacks), password sites, and various
other evils.
Unlike PennyWize, Password Sentry, or other old fashioned approaches,
Strongbox is 100% compatible with the latest versions of Microsoft Media
Player.
All that, and the price is definitely right.
Several of the well know members of this board, TLA's, and
GFY use it on all of their pay sites and swear by it.

I'll probably have one in a few days or so.
That means I have to increase the price to cover, though

I don't have your email addy anymore.
Shoot me an email so I have your addy and
I'll let you know when the affiliate program is ready.

Ray and I have been in communication and I will be calling him today. I am definitely going with StrongBox. Seems to be my ideal answer after all of these years of hackers, hurlers, and pirates.

And I am also about to start an affiliate program charging $24.95 .. so I hope I get some "willing" webmasters too...

Thanks so much for the tip and I thank Ray for his fast communication with me. I'll be in touch!
