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" Web sites displaying false information.Our non-attribution solutions hide your IP address and allow you to freely access the subject Web site and view the real information.

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

Web Site Cloaking |
Web site 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 Web site 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 Web site. And there are other administrators who use IP cloaking to keep law enforcement and government officials from viewing their actual Web sites to appear innocuous to investigators.
