Phantom
Frog delivers the most effective
password abuse detection
technology available.
How? Geo-IP tracking.
Phantom
Frog is the only service to provide
this technology.
Our full protection plans provide automatic password retrieval to your members,
bandwidth abuse protection, and brute force attack (password hurling) protection. |
| My password abuse detection system works fine. Why change? |
TOP |
In fact,
conventional methods
fail miserably. Counting Ip addresses, monitoring password trading sites, or cute login
screens can't compare to Phantom Frog's Geo-IP tracking.
|
| Is my current password abuse detection really obsolete? |
TOP |
Absolutely! Conventional
technologies employ one or
more of the following methods - all
inferior to Phantom Frog's
suite of technologies:
IP Address
Counters: Every
computer connected to the Internet
is given a domain name and a
set of numbers, that serve as
that computer's "Internet
Protocol" IP address. IP
Address Counters
attempt to catch password abuse
by counting the number of different
IP Addresses used to access any
given member's account. Counting IP
Addresses would work well
if each of your members
had only one IP Address. This
is not the case. Many
of your member's Internet Service
Providers (ISP) provide connections
using multiple IP Addresses. How?
| |
1)
Each time your member connect
to the Internet with dial-up
modems, they are assigned
a different IP Addresses. |
| |
2) Members using Internet Service Providers ( such as AOL), are routed through proxy servers. Proxy servers may change the IP Addresses of your members up to 15 times every hour! |
Accordingly, IP Address Counters must raise their alarm thresholds to prevent false alarms. In fact, to avoid false alarms, IP Address Counters look only at portion of the full IP Address. This makes IP Address Counters extremely poor at detecting password abuse .
Monitoring Password Trading
Sites: This method
monitors hundreds of password trading sites hoping to find your Web site's passwords. This
method is seriously flawed. Why?
| |
1) By the time your stolen password appears on a password trading Web site it has usually been abused by a small "circle of friends". They know that by sharing passwords with less than 5 - 10 friends they easily avoid detection. When they have finished downloading your content, and stealing your bandwidth, they post the password to a password trading site. Too late!
|
| |
2) Password trading sites come and go more frequently than street corner drug dealers. They are shut down when their Web host discovers them. They open up shop somewhere else in less than 24 hours. How can anyone assert that this method works well?

|
| Does Phantom Frog have a better way? |
TOP |
| Yes!
Phantom
Frog pinpoints the the exact geographic
location of all visits
to your protected
member's area. In
addition to other methods,
Phantom Frog tracks password
abuse by monitoring visits
from computers in different
countries, states, regions,
and cities - world
wide.

| What else does The Phantom Frog do? |
TOP |
In addition to providing the best password abuse detection, Phantom Frog Technology includes the following features:
Phantom Frog stops Password Guessing Programs
(Brute Force Attack)
| |
These computer programs hurl thousands of passwords at your server attempting to guess your subscriber's passwords. Phantom Frog detects these attacks automatically and instantly blocks the attacker. |
Phantom Frog stops Ripper Programs
(Automatic Download Programs)
| |
"Ripper programs" automatically download all the content from your Web site in a short period of time. This can result in slow download speeds for your legitimate members. It can cost you a fortune in bandwidth charges. |
Phantom Frog offers Automatic
Password Changing and Member Support (Premium Plan)
| |
For Web site operators who are CCBill, Paycom, NetBilling clients and NATS, Phantom
Frog offers an optional service. Instead of blocking an abused password, Phantom Frog automatically issues a new
password. Your
valid member can instantly retrieve his password while all others are denied access.
This stops further unauthorized access by non-members while providing uninterrupted access to your valid subscriber. Experience
has shown that 90% of the members who have been issued a new password stop sharing passwords.
|
|
| What are the system requirements? |
TOP |
Your
member's identity is 100% anonymous.
Every computer connected to the Internet
is given a domain name and a set
of numbers, that serve as that computer's "Internet
Protocol" IP address. When a
visitor requests a page from any
Web site Phantom Frog automatically
recognize that visitor's domain name
and IP address. The domain name and
IP address reveal nothing personal
about your visitors other than the
IP address from which they have accessed
your Web site.
