Download Hash Script...

#1

Post by AYHJA »

wai...

I need something I'm sure you can provide...I need a way to randomize a download link so that it expires after a certain period of time...Not necessarily the files, just the links...

Say for instanceyou had a file...It's true location was http://www.aquabeta.net/hashfile.aja ...However, you want to be able to give someone a link using the AYHJA domain, say, http://www.AYHJA.org/randomfilename.aja , and it point and download the file on aquabeta...After a period of say 24 hours, or maybe 2 downloads (either or), the link becomes defunct and will no longer work...

The object of course, is to stop people from sharing the link, and never being able to use the true location to download the file...Damn, I hope that makes sense...I can go into more details if you need to, just wanted to get that idea going...

the biggest complication i see is that the first time they pass through the random link, they will find the valid url of the original file, and be able to access it directly without your random passthrough link.

or maybe i just don't know what you are talking about. for me, file security is on the other side of what i do. I am subject to some of the largest elements of Federal data security in the country, if not the world. on a montly basis. Here's some advice, and why:

I would think you can do better and easier creating a unique password to the file, that expires after a pre-set number of logins, or a particular time length. Then, you have to reset the password from the inside before it works again.

This protocol, in addition to binding that password to a ISP, is used by the Dept. of Energy to make sure people don't go back and change the data on their federal reports for commodity consumption and and sales after they have passed review and are made publicly available (this deception was a move Enron used to make past financial review look far more favorably upon their business expansion, thus giving investors and brokers an inflated sense of conifidence and bootsing trading of their shares without raising suspicion of market manipulation by Federal analysts).

Like they would go back years later and change their records of public data after it had passed Federal Approval from 300 million to 300 BILLION, so when a broker starts pulling archived data up to do a ten year profile of your company, it would throw off his report 299.7 Billion dollars in their favour.

just sayin,
Ch

php is capable of a many things... /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> I doubt it takes wai 2 hours to do this...

What will happen is that it will probably download the file by ID, and not filename...It will be like pulling numbers @ the DMV...

OK, looks like you gotta use mod_rewrite, if you just want it like http://www.aquabeta.net/fileHASH.rar to link to http://www.ayhja.us/realfiles/file.rar
otherwise you can just link it via http://www.aquabeta.net/download.php?file=filehash which would access/redirect to AO..

Scripts can be written, I just need which option you wanna use from above..
(or wait till I finish the uploader /:D" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt=":D" />)
