What is Copy Defender?
Posted by Gary at Apr 29th, 2008 in News
Copy Defender was designed from the ground-up to prevent automated copying (aka scraping) of your valuable website content.
Copy Defender is PHP script that can be installed on any *nix website and requires no database support giving a huge flexibility to the content management systems it can support (Wordpress, Joomla, PHPBB etc. etc.)
Copy Defender examines each incoming new IP requesting a page from your site and runs it through a series of triggers, each of these can allocate a score to that particular IP. Some of the triggers include:
- Time since last request
- Total requests
- Black/Whitelisted IP
- Known Search Engine IP
- Known Proxy IP
- IP from high-risk country
Each time the IP sets off a trigger it accumulates a score and when the IP’s total score reaches a threshold value it can either be redirected or challenged to prove that it actually is a human. If it’s proven to be a robot scraping your content Copy Defender will stop it in it’s tracks…
Copy Defender provides extensive reporting a logging capabilities so you can watch the activity of human readers, search engines and blocked scrapers all in real-time.
