"Expert hacker"? I think not. ^^
A secondary source file can still be read easily
by downloading and saving to disk from a select
browser or two.
Prevention with right-click? Absolutely not,
because someone need only to temporarily disable
their browser's Javascript. Not to mention it
would piss off a good number of users who use
right-click to navigate (back, forward, bookmark).
Oh, I'm sure some people are familiar with
something called "screencapping" - TONS of
software to do that, all they have to do is have
the browser open to that image.
Another thing, if anyone has their browser set up
remotely near "default", ALL downloaded images
end up in the browser cache which can simply be
viewed at leisure off-line.
Basically, if someone can see the image on your
page - THEY ALREADY HAVE IT.
Now, before some fool yells at me for "releasing
potentially damaging information" -this is for
your own good. To know how someone can attack your
material is to know how to prevent it. But, the
bottom line is, if you don't want someone to
*have* an image, DO NOT PUT IT ON YOUR WEB SITE.
I suggest all readers interested in protection
and in watermarking or stamping search the
archives for those terms (watermark, branding,
etc.) This has been discussed at great length
before. |
