Block Hotlinking in .htaccess

this is ours

Cool, just curious, does this have anything to do with hotlinking?

AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthGroupFile /dev/null

Or does anti-hotlinking also work fine without that?

AWESOME resourse for htaccess.



you'll just have to copy and paste

http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess.shtml

The mpg and wmv won't do you much good, they're opened with media player - which doesn't pass along a http referer.

Did you know that AdultWebware v3.5 has already implemented anti-hotlinking protection for your pictures content?

So you can show your "picture of the day" on your tours pages for free without even thinking that anyone may hotlink it.

If you need any advanced protection, just let us know and we will add the features for free.

I am going to be honest with you, I have techs that provide me with this stuff. If you want to know the one I used to use, try this

Why are you blocking the inktomi spider?

When it comes to protecting movie files - try this script:

http://www.brguy.com/ahls/

It works fine to me

Yes, so I've heard. Thanks.

damn, baddog that htaccess must take of a whole lot of resources everytime a surfer hits one of your pages

Why don't you reverse the user_agent conditions to just allow for known agents instead of denying access to bad ones?

And what do you need that last portion of http_referer conditions for when you already, in the top, are allowing only certains urls access?

While that htaccess works fine it hits the server heavily and img'ed content (jpg/gif) will load adultlogin.com and show a broken picture. What I usually do is point to an image file instead, with an url written on it. Mostly because when your ARE being hotlinked it's on a chatboard or something, and your images will be img src'ed. So you gain nothing from the protection unless you show a different image than what they're looking for. Use it for branding

People use .htaccess to stop people from leeching on their bandwidth. If one uses .htaccess to show a different image, they're still wasting their bandwidth.

Yeah, but then at least you can show them a giant (in dimensions) image with your url plastered all over it.

The other way around you just risk your frontpage being img src'ed by your htaccess.

So either way you loose. Hotlinkers are scumbags and hard to battle...

Teleport can easily get around this. It can show the user-agent as whatever you would like.

Referers are easy to spoof.

Best way to prevent any form of leaching is to use cookes and/or sessions. But that's pretty technical compared to the simplicity of .htaccess.

.htaccess is good against minor league leachers or hotlinkers but worthless on its own against serious leachers

i got mine from google!

Broda, could you please hit me up, I have a great deal for you

Have a nice day!

If it's about hotlinking protection I don't have any need for it. I know how

Will hit you up anyway...
