    What's the best system for securing a paysite from crackers, etc?

    Protecting content from getting to illegal sites starts with your websites, so why aren't most programs using a better system than a simple htaccess?

    It's way better than it used to be, but still it's very common to have very little barrier to getting into a paysite. Very often webmasters submit sites to us with passwords like "review/review" so even the most basic of attacks is going to be successful.

    Strongbox? That frog one? What's the best solution?

    Has anyone noticed a difference after installing one of these?

    The form based ones are much harder to attack vs pop-up style, and stop most programs and automated processes from grabbing your stuff - unless they custom write something basically, made for your sites specifically.

    Treat them like car thieves.. Even the most basic protection will de-energize them into moving onto an easier target.

    Now: Insert cracker jokes here. ;)

    The thieves are joining the site and paying for it and then stealing. Tough to stop that

            We use Proxy Pass, and we generally have 10-20 users blocked at all times for password violations. Not the same people mind you, the quantity just seems to stay constant even after we resolve their sharing violation. I would prefer if it would do a password reset and send it to the customer's email but I guess blocking to an upsell page is good too.

                I have a custom written addon for my proxypass that does that, user gets a new password once he trys to log in, gets one of those forms to enter characters to prove he is a real person, then bam he gets a new password.

                  That sounds slick, great idea.
