We didn't use the Gist above, I said we used a "form" of it. How many times have you seen a post arise that said something like: "This person stole my site!!" I have! Many of them, so if there is a way to prevent this from happening again on any of our clients sites along with implementing tighter CSF Portflooding and connection settings, we'll do it, because that's our job to make sure our clients sites/files/data is safe. So, what your basically telling me is, you would just brush it off and say "oh well" let them steal my content - no biggie. Would you want a host to be pro-active with implementing security measures to prevent this kind of situation again? Yes, I'm sure you would. Would you like it if someone ran this program on your site and downloaded your entire site? No, you wouldn't. Maybe other web hosts should be as pro-activate as we are? I don't think we are going to the extreme with this. luckily, we were able to catch it in time and block it. we have zero tolerants for this kind of behavior/action. This program caused an extreme load on our clients VPS and not to mention - it's stealing and we wont tolerate it. However, again, it's our job to protect our clients data at all costs. That's your opinion and your entitled to that. ![]() You'll have problems using it.That's fine, you can think that. What's next? Web browsers because the plugins allow downloading? Sometimes web hosts are too heavy-handed, and this is a perfect example. You're blaming a program for the actions of 1 person.
