You can check your hosting logs to see what IP the spammers come from, then do a whois look up on that IP to find the full IP range for that datacenter. Then block that range in .htaccess. If you want to block by country, this site will generate the block code by country...

You can protect the list of files by encrypting the rar headers.

I think the people opening hosts quickly go broke and fold because they have no clue how much hosting will cost them. One of the file hosting script sellers has a forum where buyers can link to their hosting site. The links are all dead after 2-4 months because they are out of business.

Good post, it looks like encrypted files are going to be the wave of the future.

Encrypt them with rar, 7z, gpg, etc.

This is very interesting. Maybe they are extracting files from non-encrypted rar archives to check the fingerprints. If the 1st rar file has the wrong extension the system won't recognize it so it can't extact the files to fingerprint. PS: Your English is better than any 2nd language...

Thanks for your post. That sounds right, they are matching the file's hashes and know they are the same file immediately. This is odd, are you sure it was the identical file? I doubt they go through that effort for millions of pages but who knows? Another experiment is to link to...

"wupload 2 wupload" is fast because you aren't moving a file, you a just adding your user id to the list of 'owners'.

I do not believe they are fingerprinting correctly encrypted rar files. If they are doing that they are breaking a major encryption algorithm (AES-128) which would be headline news. nixguy

Hello mavfil, ... > Would really appreciate it if someone will be able to tackle this digital fingerprinting problem, please PM me too if someone has an answer, thank you very much I am a tech guy and am interested in this problem. What have you tried so far? Have you had...

Question to people getting password protected rars removed: Are you encrypting the headers?

Filesonic is using this fingerprinting system: http://www.vobileinc.com I have tested a similar system (fuzzy hashes) and the only way I found to beat it is encrypted files. Split files, changed md5s, passworded zips, etc. don't work.
