Stopping password sharing?
 

What is the best password protection software / system out there?

I want to prevent members from sharing passwords with others ( I want to catch them if they do )

Of couse this is to run on an Apache server

Kill the first one that shares thier pass and the rest will understand that you are serious

Penny Wize

I cant recomend this enough. Having this will do two things, one stop sharing, two generate lots of traffic to trade with, if you play the password sites right. :thumbsup

cool thanks - can I hit you up at a later time if I decide to go for this?

Pennywize was just OK for us for stopping sharing but if you have a brute force hacking problem this is way more advanced to deal with that problem:

Strongbox

Good luck! :thumbsup

Yeah.. Pennywize - good shit! :thumbsup

ok - looking into strongbox aswell - thanks

Pennywize or Iprotect either one will do the job nicely.

well I have a simple php script that solves this. hit me on icq if interrested.

:D

Hmm no mention of Password Sentry. I use it Anyone else use it?

Yeh. That's the best one I ever used

Used it. Don't have anything to use it on anymore, I loved it while I had it though.

garbage

:thumbsup

give me your pennywize site i bet i can break your security, thats what our company does, tests your security, and makes adjustments.

its all about password lenth and how you mix and match. people that pick lame passwords like jim password jim.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

NO! NO! NO! I had HORRIBLE experiences with PW. PW would shut down abused passwords but could do nothing about stopping them from being hacked. My BW was ALWAYS over the limit with PW. When I switched to STRONGBOX, my BW dropped in half. (And I use a LOT of BW).

STRONGBOX IS BY FAR THE BEST

In their replies to this thread,

$pikes said that Strongbox is
"this is way more advanced to deal with that problem" than Pennydumb".

In other threads here on GFY:

Boobmaster says "Ray's Strongbox ROCKS!&quot

Icycle says "The
box rules"

Stramm says "It's cool. I love it."

Jayeff and More Booze
agree "Works perfectly and it's a bargain price too"


"it fuggin rocks!" according to topsmutlinks

I don't think I'm allowed to post links to toher boards here,
but if you search some of your other favorite
boards you'll see that everyone who has
ever tried Strongbox pretty much agrees with
the people I quoted above.

I use password sentry and proxypass

I forgot to say thanks to $pikes and boobmaster for the props
on Strongbox. I spend many hours each day in research and
development for Strongbox and have been doing so for
several years now, so it's really great to hear that it's
been so helpful for so many people.
It makes it feel like the thousands of hours opf work
developing Strongbox have been worth it.

:1orglaugh You are very funny. I don't see were is the problem if more persons are using the same password.

penny is crap, use strongbox and if you will have good protected your htpasswd and database, you will have no more problems with password trading. do not listen to pennywize, you need just few proxies and hackers are back again ;)

pennyshit is for n00bs!

I just take my sites offline... Problem solved...

Alternatively, just host with DreamHost.... They will do the above automatically on your behalf! :)

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh "i am looking long time work for and still have no luck, anyone can help me?" ... "just jump from the bridge, problem solved ..." :1orglaugh

Next Generation Solution
 

I represent a password protection system called
Phantom Frog that is setting a new standard for
password security. Our product uses Geo-IP tracking
technology which will not even allow 2 people to
share the same password let alone a whole trading
forum with hundreds of leechers!

Our Hi-Resolution Geo-IP Tracking offers the most
accurate password abuse detection available anywhere.
It tracks all visits to the members area of a site
down to the city level. Furthermore, it takes
latitudal and longitudal data into consideration.
Therefore, Frog detects the fact that the same
password was used in L.A. and NYC. We pinpoint the
abuse instantly, allowing for the possibility of
legitimate travel. That level of resolution is
unique to Phantom Frog.

Our system is based upon the premise of providing
24/7 uninterrupted access to the legitimate members
while blocking out the leechers. This is accomplished
automatically through our Automated Member Support
(AMS) feature. When password abuse is detected, the
password is changed. The next time the valid member
trys to login, Frog uses their email address to
validate their identity and issues them a new password
directly via email. This strategy breaks the cycle of
password abuse and frees up the webmasters to do more
important work.

Our product is integrated with CCBill, NetBilling,
Paycom, NATS, MPA3, Verotel, 2000Charge, SegPay, Jettis,
and 365Billing. Phantom Frog has a simple FREE Trial
Version which installs by adding one html tag or we
can handle the installation completely for you for.
In fact, we recommend that you leave ProxyPass or
Pennywize activated during our Trial to witness
first-hand all the abuse being missed by them!

Most of customers were motivated to purchase our
password protection only 3 days after installing the
Free Trial! We also offer Automated Member Support,
Brute Force Attack Protection, and Bandwidth Abuse
Protection.

Phantom Frog has stellar webmaster testimonials which
are listed on our site. A high percentage of our clients
are ex-ProxyPass/Pennywize clients. A casual scan of
our webmaster testimonials page will reveal how unaware
they were of the password abuse which was being allowed
and overlooked by their current protection system.

Check out the Password Abuse Case Study under our
site's Learn section to get specifics on why Pennywize
and ProxyPass and the outdated IP counting technique
they rely upon are NOT effective.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or feedback.

We tried, Iprot, PW, StrongBox, & Phantom Frog.

By far the best we've used to date is Phantom Frog, Strong Box is a VERY close 2nd, and wouldn't hesitate to use either. PennyWise is just as useless as tits on a boar hog, and IProt is just, well........

Free Side-By-Side Comparison
 

Thanks for the kind comments Rick.

I can't emphasize enough that, by design, we
setup the Free Trial version of Phantom Frog so
it can be installed without disabling any other
pass protection system you're using. So, you can
run a TRUE side-by-side live comparison of whatever
tool you're using (Pennywise, ProxyPass, I-Protect,
Strongbox, Password Sentry).

There is no need to speculate when you can get
results and make your own first-hand observations.
No other system on the market today provides that
Free Trial option which allows you to compare it
with other protection tools.

Since it is Free, the only risk a webmaster runs is
finding a better solution! This Trial version demonstrates
the Geo-IP Tracking Abuse detection capability of Frog.
It does not block any accounts and provides the
webmaster with pass abuse notifications by email.

This is kind of funny what's happening to all of the threads we had listed
on our site, which are all THREE YEARS old. Someone is bumping all of these
threads from years ago and after a comment or two relevant to the thread a
bunch of Phantom Frog promotion starts. Interesting.

Ray,

Since the thread was bumped and is receiving a new
audience, I wanted to reinforce the notion that
IP counting systems (like Pennywise and ProxyPass)
should be considered as outdated technology
especially since 3 years have gone by. That's
a common objective we have.

Furthermore, webmasters should be made aware of all
their current options. After all, I only joined Phantom
Frog one year ago and have to make up for lost time.

Sorry to post on the old thread, but Phantomfrog is absolutely the BEST password protection out there. I don't have to babysit the sites anymore with the Automated Member Support feature that this program uses. Just give it a try. There is a free trial, so you have nothing to lose.

Check out http://www.proxypass.com/
I use that and I am very happy with it

OK, Phantom Frog guys, this is now the second time you've bumped this
three year old thread to spam your product with your bogus nicks.
That's enough already.

New nic's ... old threads ... new products ... not everyone here is stupid?

Pennywize is crap, I used it for years and never liked it, Strongbox does a much better job.

Long live Strongbox!!!!!
