[abuzant3d]

Hi,

tired of people stealing your designs ?

take a look at this contest, you are asked to try to steal a sample image that is being very-well protected, no javascript, no third party software, nothing, a very sample .PHP script !!

this is a link to the contest, it is my new site and this is one of many mechanisms i use

Well that is not my mistake that there is a print-screen button there on all keyboards ;-)
i am just trying to introduce this small useful script, the matter is not that you a square or not, i can change it to anything you like, the point is that you can never using any regular possible way get a copy of this image, try right clicking and for example click email imaghe to a friend, or set as desktop image, or any other available option, you wont get anything !!!

PS>>
print-screen won't work with watermarked images, or am i wong again folks ??

;-))

enjoy !

I'd simply take a screenshot, dump it into an image editing program, and cut out the square. Take about 30 seconds.....

I guess I would have to ask what you consider a regular possible way to get it? I didn't try a print screen to see if it would work, because I don't have proper graphics sofware on this box.

As far as the other options, the image is set as a background, and I don't think the normal methods of capture will do that. If that is the case, then I think it is a very clever solution.

However, on my other box, I do have a small capture desktop app that will capture whatever is on the screen..and I guess to me, that is a normal method to get what I want. I suppose it is a matter of perception.

I also like the fact that it is simple coding...

EDIT:

"Can you tell me the server path to any of these images, huh ?
Image One
Image Two
Image Three "

Maybe I'm not undersanding the question, but I come up with the following:

http://i.phpx.info/previews/f/mexred
http://i.phpx.info/previews/f/mexgreen
http://i.phpx.info/previews/f/mexblue

You will have to excuse me if I didn't undersand the question posed?

Or just check your cache, because most of what you view ends up there anyway.

Or just check your cache, because most of what you view ends up there anyway.

Or try a web site grabbing program and get images that way as well, because all the images have to be stored somewhere...

this has been discussed before /me goes looks for thread :::

ahh found it knew GG had done tut on it before -> http://www.antionline.com/showthread...hreadid=239611

there is no foolproof way of protecting your images

print-screen won't work with watermarked images, or am i wong again folks ??

well yes can still capture image but will also capture watermark - now as most watermarks are placed some place that will not ruin image itself (bottom right corner a fav) then most can be trimmed off without taking too much away from image itself - or using the heal brush tool in photoshop you can (with a lil time) remove a watermark while leaving image whole

One tool. Webstripper

The image wouldn't be any problem at all to steal.

Hi all and thanks for all the testing, i will make a fast answer for all...

> Juridian,

>groovicus, you are right, the coding is nice and thge images are hidden very well from intruder's eyes, you understood evertthing right it's just my weak english ;-)

>Syini666, cache is being disabled, take a look at this code snippet from the 'preview' script ...

    header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); 
    header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate ("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
    header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate"); 
    header("Cache-Control: private, no-cache, post-check=0, pre-check=0", false); 
    header("Pragma: no-cache");

i am wondering where this 'somewhere' would be, i agree with you but not in cache as i explained above, maybe Temporary Internet Files ?

>valhallen, you are 100% right, removing watermakrs is easier than making them, and a person who really wants something can get it no matter how hard it is hidden, BUT won't that be illegal to remove a watermark from a copyrighted image

>dopeydadwarf, didn't work, read carefully

anyweay, that is just another way of doing things, i like sharing info and ideas, don't yale @me ;-))

let's make everything clear!!

QUESTION ?
can you tell me what is the Real Extension of these three images on my server ?
PNG? GIF? JPG?

interesting ?
