人盡茶涼 提交于 2019-12-18 13:42:20
问题 I want to protect a pdf file from being directly linked but instead have my logged in users be able to access it. I have a link which currently goes to a javascript function which posts a form: $('nameofdoc').setProperty('value',doc); document.getElementById('sendme').submit(); where sendme is the name of the form and nameof doc the index of the document I want to display. This then goes to a php file: $docpath = $holdingArray[0].$holdingArray[1]; $file = $holdingArray[0]; //file name

问题 What is the best way to generate a unique hardware ID on Microsoft Windows with C++ that is not easily spoofable (with for example changing the MAC Address)? 回答1: Windows stores a unique Guid per machine in the registry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\MachineGuid 回答2: This used to be the CPU serial number but today there are many types of motherboards and this factor is not accurate. MAC address can be easily forged. That leaves us with the internal hard drive serial

问题 I think this is a bit complicated and probably impossible, but it would be helpful to know if there is any way to do it... Let's say I have a private teaching forum, where each user (paid account) has a username and an encrypted password, and there's a DOWNLOAD section where pdf files can be downloaded by users only. Here's the question: When the file is downloaded, it will be protected by username and password/ password only that match with the username and password of the user himself... in

问题 I want to prevent executable being copied to another PC and thus i need to somehow save information inside my EXE file about that it was already used somewhere else on another PC. Can i embed small piece of information like user's hard drive number into my EXE file so this information would be available when this EXE is copied to another PC?

Or will I have to change it to something like: /data-private/data/ com.mydomain.appname/databases/database.db (or something like this) Since I have a Dev phone only, I have no way of testing to see if my app still functions normally after turning on copy

问题 I understand that no matter what I do, someone will be able to copy it. However I can still make them work hard for it. What are some good ways of making data not easily copied using php compatible coding. --- Added ---- The data is a listing of results for certain local sports events. We send people out to collect the information, post the information, make corrections and such. However a competing website takes our results (I know they are directly copying them) and never updates them which
