Internet Threats
How Internet Threats Work
By using simple tools, site administrators are able to determine who is visiting their site by the visitor's IP address. When the web server receives a page request, a script checks the IP address of the user against a list of known IP addresses that the site wishes to block or cloak against. If a match is found, the server delivers an error message that may state "Access Denied" or "Page Not Found". Or, it may redirect users to "spoofing" websites displaying false information.Our non-attribution solutions hide your IP address and allow you to freely access the subject website and view the real information.

IP Blocking |
Some website administrators use blocking to keep their competitors from viewing their website. And there are other, more malicious administrators, who use site blocking to keep law enforcement from viewing their sites because they are promoting or engaging in illegal activities.

Website Cloaking |
Website administrators are also able to display false or misleading information on their site to pre-determined visitors, while delivering a completely different version of the website to others. Some administrators use cloaking to obtain higher rankings with search engines. Other administrators use IP cloaking to keep their competitors from seeing accurate information, such as pricing and new product launches, on their website.
