You know, it's your script and I completely support your right to set the terms on distribution and use, but this is some cocky bullshit. You really make yourself look minor league with an ignorant statement like that. Just because you don't know of a problem doesn't mean it isn't there. I defy you to go out and find one successful, top-notch script of any kind that was perfect in the first version. There is no such thing, it doesn't matter how good you are. A good coder and a wise person knows that they don't know everything. Maybe the post should have been "what's the problem?" instead of "since I don't know about the problem, it doesn't exist".Originally posted by Choker
LOL, yep see this is the shit I am talking about right here. If there were any security fixes needed we would implement them asap. But it seems that everyone who knows a little code thinks they can improve everybody elses script. If they are so good why can't they write thier own script? Yeah doesn't make sense does it? Seems like some people cheat and steal just for the sake of cheating and stealing.
The rest of your post after that is pretty silly, too. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you have to. Do you really believe that everyone with the talent and ability to make a quality trading program has already done so? There is no one left who can do it because if they could, they already would have, right? Baloney. There are dozens of experienced coders on this board. Just because each and every one of them has not written their own trading/content management/TGP/user database program does not mean they can't.
People should not be stealing your product, that's a fact. Another fact is that there are cyber thieves out there stepping on toes of people who likely have a lot more juice than you. All this posturing and threatening isn't going to get anything done. Just go about your business and shut down the assholes who are ripping you off.

Your right. I use Google. Its a tad bigger and more effective.Originally posted by Choker
Then you would never buy a trading script. No trading scripts allow you to modify them. It's in the license agreement.
But, perhaps you could start a trend and be the first to offer a trading script users *could* modify. It could differentiate you
As an alternative you could offer your existing one free and release a better version for $X with additional functionality AND that does all people to modify the script.Video Ipod Porn Site with Affiliate Program. http://www.podies.com

Dude show me one site that is losing traffic with my script. Just one. I take it you are refering to that fucker that is scanning not just ttt but every trade script there is. I have yet to see anyone post about how this scanning is causing anyone to loose any traffic. You are the first to say this. Everyone that I have talked to about this bot that is scanning everyones tgps simply put the ip in thier htacess and that was the end of the problem.

i cant really say much about it, but if you want to protect your scripts in the further get a good encoder, i did look at your script i liked it, but im busy with more paysites now, later on im going to buy 5 licenses of your paid script without the 1% skim.

I was wrong when it comes to determining how smart you are... I figured you would be smart enought to realize paying lawyers to put a genie back in a bottle was a waste ... I agree you can have shit done with your lawyers, I was assuming you werent going to waste money doing that.

Sup Choker...
Gota look at this in a different way and save your money if your really talking to lawyers. Spend the money and some software that will compile your php so it can't be taken.
Even if your terms say don't modify it, not much you can really do about it, all they have to say is they fixed a security hole and you don't have a case. After all, do you want to goto court and tell the judge that you released a script that has security holes?
The NL guys, yes they are untouchable.
You could contact the hosting company and shut them down.. Probably shut down 65% of them but why go piss off a group of people that probably work together and could cause trouble for you as well by jacking with your servers. Sometimes it's just not worth it. If it was us, which ofcourse it's not, our hosting company would just laugh.
Drop an e-mail and just hope they take it down, about all you really do, just hope for the best.
Good luck, either way ://

Yep Choker, thats pretty petty for those bastards to change the 1% skim.
Didnt you encrypt the portion where you add your site to the skim, so that others with basic programming skills wouldnt be able to modify it?
Couldnt you make the portion of code that controls where the skimmed traffic goes a compiled module (which would make it more difficult to edit)?
Also, you gotta set flags in the script so that if the skim url is changed by the person, the flags will stop the script from working.
I'm not a professional programmer (yet), but those are my suggestions anyway

The NL guys are not the problem. NL guys tend to police themselves on matters like this. I have offered to even make a version of TTT just for NL users, then I get this shit of a very small group of them doing this crap to me. I trust NL sites just like I do a .com site.The NL guys, yes they are untouchable
One person refered to it being hopeless to putting the genie back in the bottle. Well to date less than 1% of the TTT users have changed the script. Shit I even give away like $1300 in cash and scripts every month for TTT users that do not change the script. I have been as nice and cool about this as possible. Anyone using TTT can see firsthand the time and effort put into this script, and the ongoing time spent by the writer and myself to keep making it better with every upgrade.
I am not the only guy with a script facing this problem with hackers. It has become a situation out of control for many scripts and writers. I don't want it to get this way for me. That's all.ICQ me lets make a deal 116894466

I think I need to say something here...
First to you beetle, I have searched my mailbox for mails with your domains. I found quite a few
I apparently have by accident deleted one of your emails. Im very sorry about this, Im usually pretty careful when I'm deleting mails.
The deleted email contains the installation instructions for:
neukfilmpjes.com
tienersletjes.com
kuthoer.com
indianorgy.net
juicyteeny.com
blackinvasion.com
When I look at these domains again I remember you. Again I'm very sorry about this screwup from my side.
beetle, please execpt my appology and I will give you 6 more copies of EPT. You might not need that many but I feel I have to have something to make up for this.
To the guys talking about security issues:
As Choker said this hitbot making HEAD requests to the out scripts are affecting ALL scripts. It is not a security issue. If you want to block all HEAD (including HEADs from SE spiders) you can do this with htaccess. I can post the code if anybody wants it.
To the guys talking about encoding the script:
Like another guy mentioned, "Who would use a free trade script that's encoded?". I personally wouldnt. I could have downloaded a script thats skimming 2 or 3 or maybe even 5%. The same goes to precompiled C scripts. Can I trust the programmer? Its all about trust. By not encoding TTT you acutally dont need to trust Choker You can see with your own eyes that he's only skimming 1%

Howdie,
I read on the Dutch Forum there was quite a fuzz about TTT.
Which is considered a good script. But really isn't flawless.
I myself don't use free scripts. (Cause I got the knowledge to programme them myself, like I'm doing for 1,5 years now)
However, over the past month we got extreemly enoing head request fromout the States. (BeJa) doing head request on all know scripts on: 'index.php?randomrefererhere' or 'out.php?radnomouthere'.
And this is done by socket HEAD request. Which means it isn't stopped by HTACCESS. (Scripts still get executed).
You can imagine the shit that happens if your script thinks he just got 100 hits from a dude (who actually didn't sent you anything) and the other way arround.
I've made myself a fix for my own script stopping the PHP process as soon a HEAD request is encountered. And people tried to convice you from the need of the feature. But you probably don't see the need of it in your probably bussy schedual.
I for one (and yeah, you will say who are you for saying that?) had the opinion towards the others that they should just make the changes. As long as you keep the skimming and it's for protection. EVEN you should understand.
And don't give me the copyright notice crap.
I believe I don't need to explain you that if you really don't want people to get in your code. You should programm PHP code. But take something compiled.
I understand your motivation for this post.
(And people that do rip the shaving out should die from herpes)
But if it's a security issue. You of all should understand.
Regards,
Armand aka ManieComment

This is complete BS! Yes you're losing hits! Don't like it? buy a script! If you are losing 2500 hits and that's 1% than you have a extremely good dutch site that would bring in enough cash to buy 10 scripts!Originally posted by Hansm
im not talking about the skiming thats fair.
but chokor alot of dutch webmasters are losing 2500 hits with your script, is this normal, are you happy when your sites are losing this amount of hits, answer that question.
and we are talking about sites with 10000 visits per day only, thats 1/4 of the traffic.
so if you arnt delivering new patches to your script, what must a adultwebmaster do, waiting till there site gets 100 visits a day, no, if its was me, then i would do the same and send you a email. and dont tell you didt get a email i know for sure you did get emails about this problem, because more then 25 webmasters are having this problem.

Manie / Armand is right, the hits from a HEAD request made by a socket still executes your php code and the false hits and clicks will be counted....
The only thing the .htaccess does is sending only an error header back to the client.
Next problem wih .htaccess in this case is that you're always later to discover a ip change, so if beja changes ip's (proxy or whatever) you're script is counting fake hits for a time until you discover...
It's now a point of heavily discussion and it doesn't only relate TTT, but wouldn't it just be better to add the check on HEAD requests as a standard feature, everyone who builds a script wants to make it very good protected against cheaters, so why not adding something for this...
I adjusted my own scripts (not TTT) and it's about 5 minutes of work...
Choker you would make a lot of people happy if you would add this feature to your script or at least create a test case where you check if whe are right about the execution of the script....
Choker you have no advantage in letting other people's site drop in traffic because of this HEAD request thing, if they're traffic drops, your 1% also drops...people are going to change scripts for these matters, so you won't get any hits again from them...
Be a sportive guy, we understand you're sick of the skimming problem that a lot of folks get out of the script, but this issue isn't related...

Copyright is copyright - Simple as that.
These scripts clearly show what Choker is saying.
If a bug is there, if something can be improved upon, breaking copyright rules is not the answer.
I am certain if somebody went to Choker and said about a bug and offered the fix, Choker would have listened.
Isn't it about time webmasters got behind copyright? Or are you all happy to see your images, coding and grafix used by others without asking you first?<p><embed width="120" height="60" src="http://www.harlotcash.com/harlot_3.swf"><br>

Be a sportive guy, we understand you're sick of the skimming problem that a lot of folks get out of the script, but this issue isn't related...
Grtzzz,

Sorry but all Internet commincations are done over sockets , browsers, telnet, ssh you name it. Using a server to open a direct socket to a another site is just a lower level function not a bypass. The server can still simply ignore the request.
apache does not execute a page where the .htaccess is coded correctly HEAD or whatever. Denying an ip is straightfoward and in my experience I have not had a script continue to count hits from blocked ip's.
Everytime I put one of his ips in my .htacess problem goes away. Yes that's a pain but that is part of the business.
Placing the code in the script to not count suspicious hits is good but if I can block him at the server level better.Comment

chokor, forget it, the bw providers will really laugh about you, and all isps too.
they will say its your problem because its not ENCRYPTED.
if you can pay 800$ monthly for blacklist option you can pay money too for some good encrypt software like zend.
agreed. Everyone else uses Zend why not you?Comment

lol - some of the replies are amusing - if there are security bugs out there and they didnt or wont get fixed - no one force you to use the script. but if you use the script - you have to follow the copyrights.
would you also say - Adobe cant go after people who use Photoshop as a cracked version because Adobe didnt protected it enough.. ?...Comment

Sorry, but that's not true. If you block HEAD or any other requests in a htaccess your script will not be executed.Originally posted by mxcreep
Manie / Armand is right, the hits from a HEAD request made by a socket still executes your php code and the false hits and clicks will be counted....
The only thing the .htaccess does is sending only an error header back to the client.
Next problem wih .htaccess in this case is that you're always later to discover a ip change, so if beja changes ip's (proxy or whatever) you're script is counting fake hits for a time until you discover...
Here's the htaccess code to block HEAD requests.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^HEAD$
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]
This code will send a 403 Forbidden response to the bot and your script will not be executed.Comment

Zend.com Great tools for compilings scriptsOriginally posted by Choker
Sir what gives any .nl webmaster the right to edit this script? Are .nl webmasters above the law or something? I must be missing something here. When you download this script it clearly says that you are not allowed to edit this script in any way, and even in the zip it says this again. The conditions for anyone using this script is that you do not modfy it in any shape. If you are using a copy that has been modified as far I am concerned you are the one that modified it, and I am sure that the host and the hosts upstream provider will agree with me on this. I do appreciate your honesty and the fact that you are coming forward with this, but this is no excuse.
