IIS - Blocking using images

[segurired]

Hello everybody... I want to block the usage of my images hosted on my server because another web sites are using it directly.

I know there is a configuration to do on linux hostings but I'm using IIS hosting.

Thanks in advance

You can do this with htaccess on unix not sure on windows.

I don't believe there's anything simple you can do, you'll have to either write a bunch of code to do it by placing them say outside the webroot and using BinaryStreaming to present them to the browser after checking the referer URL or maybe place them into a database or something, theres no easy way without using ISAPI filters (there may be some COM+ components that may help but you'd have to look into that). Even then it's still relatively easy to grab your images, even on Unix a smart "thief" can still often hot link to them by faking referrers and such like.

There are some PHP and other scripts about that you could try (like http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/43995.html ) as well I don't know how effective they are, but no matter what your looking at having to do some coding work somewhere, try googling for "prevent image hotlinking Windows"
