SXL-Sentry - Overview

SysExcel appreciate the value of protecting your content and the effort and expense involved in producing quality material for your website so we know how frustrating it is for you when this content is 'stolen' on a regular basis by people accessing your site with passwords they have not paid for. The resultant additional bandwidth consumed by the unauthorised users to say nothing of the theft of what is essentially copyrighted/high value material can cause major problems to any online business.

To combat this problem SysExcel have produced SXL-Sentry – a fully integrated content protection and access control system that will protect your site, keep password thieves out – and most importantly keep your paying clients happy.

SXL-Sentry - Access control

Access control is implemented by building a profile against a user and identifying the previous methods and points of access. This information is then used in conjunction with rules and parameters you configure to control future access.

So if the requirement is as simple as: 'only let someone have access once a day' or 'don't let anyone from this network ever get access' or something a little more refined such as 'no more than 3 accesses allowed from any one point in any one hour' then SXL-Sentry can be configured by you, the site owner, or the ISP to fully protect your content.

SXL-Sentry provides you with total control over access to your site's content.

SXL-Sentry - What the hackers say

(Extract from discussion in a password hacking site in response to a password request for a site protected by SXL-Sentry)

'Sorry, can't help you on this one, but just as a warning any pass for this site only remains active for a few minutes before it is blocked – whatever security system the site has is pretty damned effective more's the pity.'

SXL-Sentry - Access control features include:

  • Enhances existing password systems (e.g. CCBill, Ibill)
  • Users receive a warning before a block
  • IP address/useragent/hostname checks
  • Caters automatically for proxy server arrays
  • Automatic purging or archiving of logs
  • Self-building database
  • Heuristic algorithmic checking routines build profiles and react to user defined parameters accordingly
  • Can be set to remove locks after specific period of time
  • Ability mask out specific IP addresses or ranges, hostnames and subnets
  • User definable bandwidth limits

SXL-Sentry - Content protection

Store your valuable original content outside of your site's root directory and serve it on demand to valid users via SXL-Sentry's content protection system.

System can handle multiple media types e.g. JPEG's, GIF's, AVI's, ZIP's, PDF's etc. and can be set to use various security checks such as SXL-Sentry access protection, time based cookies or referrer checking to ensure the content is only accessed by valid users.
