Am I trying to hard? by Ezra on 09-01-2004 at 07:28 PM

Print Screen isn't fair :P.

You forgot the / in the last [ img] thing btw...

EDIT: nevermind ;)

How about modifying the javascript to print the unescaped HTML? Then you can get the image URL: http://members.chello.nl/jpool/Allison.jpg :p

I suppose your techniques would stop the casual image stealer... :dodgy:

You guys are way 2 smart :P

RE: Am I trying to hard? by Ezra on 09-01-2004 at 07:46 PM

I know the pictures have a link to my website, but that was not really the important thing. I just wanted to see how fast you guys out here would break the security.

WDZ how did you do it anyways? :P?

If you have a box popup when someone tries to right click the image the way around it is this.

Right click the image (but leave the button down)
Left click on the Ok button, then put the mouse cursor back over top of the image and let go of the right mouse button.

This picture page doesn't have a anti-right click script :S, The other site does... But normal surfing people don't know this ;)

RE: Am I trying to hard? by CookieRevised on 09-01-2004 at 07:55 PM

true, unless they have "View Background Image" in the right-click menu :p

RE: Am I trying to hard? by Ezra on 09-01-2004 at 07:56 PM

I didn't even knew this excisted :D

RE: Am I trying to hard? by CookieRevised on 09-01-2004 at 08:00 PM

very old "plugin" (more like a tweak) for netscape... I don't have it anymore, but I once did.... too bad I don't have it anymore :p

RE: Am I trying to hard? by fluffy_lobster on 09-01-2004 at 08:56 PM

view source is just as good ^_^ and that's in the view menu, no need for right click

if your browser can download the picture, then it can save it, there's no escape

RE: Am I trying to hard? by marissa on 09-01-2004 at 08:59 PM

how come i could right click>save image in fire fox:S and it came right to where i name the picture

RE: Am I trying to hard? by fluffy_lobster on 09-01-2004 at 09:05 PM

cos it has an empty picture called copyright.gif on top of it

Omg, how increadibly stupid.

If you want to protect your stuff; learn from this :

The encoding when you view source isn't perfect yet but anyhow. I doubt many of you will get it. Only way is still a print screen; which nobody can protect his images from.

RE: Am I trying to hard? by RaceProUK on 09-02-2004 at 11:18 AM

Also, if you know where the content is cached, you can get it from there too.
And marissa, I think any protection script is IE only, as it doesn't work in Mozilla either.

RE: Am I trying to hard? by Mike on 09-02-2004 at 11:44 AM

I dont know what you're talking about...

Don't call his method stupid...
1) The principle is EXACTLY the same as the one you linked to: background image
2) And tbh, the one you linked to is far worse!!!! Simply saving the page, results in the "encrypted" data to be saved as plain text inside the html-file... and the css, which is "hidden" in the encryption is saved along with it, of course also in plain text so you can see the image URL's immediatly!!!!!!... You even don't have to decrypt anything for yourself (which you have to do with Ezra's method)....

In other words, nothing to learn from the link you posted.....

No, bad right-click protection scripts are IE only...... If you write a good one then right-clicking in Mozilla is also "disabled".....

Then don't post (yes, I know this is T&T, but this evolved in a spamless discussion, so keep it that way, thanks)

Appologies =)
I recon I didn't look very well and took it for a simple IE no rightclick script with some addons. My bad.

Yet, protecting images on the web is the most stupid thing you could do; since there's no point to it whatsoever. And no way to do it properly anyway. All I do wonder about is this :
Can you add a watermark to an image in a way that the watermark is also present in a screenshot of the image ?
RE: Am I trying to hard? by Ezra on 09-02-2004 at 01:25 PM

When you just write on the picture Copyright ©, it's still there but it would be nicer to only let that text appear on the screenshot :)
