LinkDeny - free download

Unscrupulous site owners may link to your content directly and literally STEAL your BANDWIDTH. This theft is commonly called leeching, hotlinking, inline linking, or bandwidth theft, and such direct linking to your valuable images, videos, binary files or other important site content is typically done without your knowledge, let alone your permission! Now, with LinkDeny, you can fight back and control full access to your Web site or Web-based application content and to ensure that your bandwidth use is for your site users only -- keeping out all types of "bad" traffic.

LinkDeny?s powerful ACCESS CONTROL features allow you to transparently stop bandwidth pirates and potential hackers in their tracks by limiting their access via Web request metadata including, IP address, GeoIP (country or geographic), referring URL, demographics, length of user session, type of Web browser, existence of a cookie, and HTTP request header type and content. The FLEXIBLE RULES-BASED system allows you to dream up just about any method to allow or deny access to content resources, making LinkDeny a powerful security tool for Microsoft IIS Web site administrators and management.

Control your site traffic with confidence with LinkDeny. DETAILED LOGGING and a built-in testing interface insures that you don't block good traffic. An XML-formatted rules engine makes for easy integration of LinkDeny into existing site backbends and content management systems. LinkDeny comes with PREDEFINED access TEMPLATES for rules, or to put you in complete control, allows you to come up with your own set of rules to address various site problems.
