I'd also advise not sharing the password among too many people as that increases the odds of one of them being "sloppy" and having their computer become infected with a keystroke trojan or having their password sniffed. The normal course of action to obtain a new password or deal with an issue such as this would be either to write to: [email protected] or contact the RootsWeb HelpDesk.

Did you and your group not each keep copies of the pages that each of you uploaded? I try to maintain at least two copies of any file uploaded file so that in the event anything happens, I can quickly restore the original file. I have only had pages overwritten and made a mess of twice in eleven years but nothing was lost but the minute or so it required to ftp the file again. How many persons in the group have access to add or modify the pages? More than one person with access is where these type problems usually occur. Only two others have access to the account for our state project. Our problems both happened when one of those forgot to change to their sub-folder before uploading their index.html file. Of course they overwrote the main state page index file as a result. Most Rootsweb account have very secure passwords. I would think that the most like source for your "hacker" was someone who had access to a computer that one of your group uses for uploading their files. As an example, does any of your group use a public computer (one in a library or other with public access)?? Does any of the group have children or grandchildren who would find doing something like this a "fun" prank to pull? There may be other possibilities but these are the first ones to come to mind.

hello, Although the powers that be at Rootsweb, didn't think this was or is a problem, we, at our *community* web-site certainly believe it is a major problem. Although it happened 2 months ago, we are still paying the price. It has cost us much in time and effort, and needless to say ....a very *Great* disappointment at the lack of help from Rootsweb. Our web-techie states (Names removed) ------------------------------------------------- It was a hacker They injected malicious code into the index pages using "I' frames. It wouldn't have messed users around much, all it did was give these low-lifes "pay-per-click" to a myriad of sleazy websites, which our visitors would be unknowingly doing as these I frames were only 1 pixel in size so you wouldn't know they were loading on the pages. I've removed the code, but they did screw up some pages, but now that security is sorted I'll get on to it. How the website got compromised we don't know, but there was no point in fixing anything until such time as we obtained a new password. (someone) explained the situation to Rootsweb but seemingly they didn't understand the urgency of the issue. end of message ---------------------------------------- I simply cannot understand this, and would appreciate guidance and suggestions.We have worked on this site as a group of many folks, from a mailing list for over 5 years now and have lost alot of data. Thank-You for any and all help!

Would "upload date/time" do? No script required. RW servers support SSI, which has this capability. Go to this page: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dav4is/test/test-ssi.html This demonstrates all the SSI functions. The PrintEnv shows all the built-in variables and Last_Modified is the upload date/time. There is a function to establish the date/time format. I use this to set the "uploaded" date/time on my pages, e.g. here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dav4is/ODTs/index.html#Services -R.

First, I was not meaning a bank or high profile company where password encryption is high and security tight. However, I intented to compare how "security" can have different levels. Rootsweb *webpages* and their Freepages seem to share about the same security of many university webs or professional journal websites, for example, where certain areas are "member only." I don't understand HOW some of the "member only" folders or pages get into Google, but they do. For example, let's say I find the professional article "Protein in Renal function" in Google, go to the article, and then know the title, author, volume, year, etc. I then go to the main page of the same article-for-a-fee website and use that info to search for the article. I get the page saying 'we got it, now pay $18.00 to read it.' For whatever reason(s), I already found it and read it on the same site just through searching on Google. All I was trying to point out was if something gets into Google, it can be found. Since RW offers us nothing to protect our pages, chances are higher that some will get into Google too. Even if a "small minority" on other sites, I think chances are high that a RW webpage or Freepage webpage could be found even if a webmaster tried to "hide" a page or a section. That's all I was trying to point out.

Most server software I've encountered does not permit parent directory access as you mention. I think what you found is a very small minority. I could be wrong, but I don't believe you can use Goggle to do this in very many cases. Think of how much insecurity this would make for government and financial sites if it was true.

I also experiemented using the bypass scheme you mentioned and it didn't work for the particular password protected site elements I have used in the past. This could be because of certain <META> tags I found a recommendation to use or not, I don't know.

NOW, all listers, please do not ask me for details on how all this works. Jeff Owens

However you did it, you'd also need to use a "no follow" command for robots, plus exclude the pages from on-site searches. Since on-site searches hook also into Google search (eventually), you probably could not have an on-site search engine. Since it wouldn't be password protected, the info *could* still be found regardless of how much you try to hide it. Heck, even supposed "password protected" sites show up in Google if a user searches well enough. I can't tell you how many professional journal articles I've found by using a combination search words -- when these articles are on a for-fee password protected site. I can read that article... but can't go back through the site to access other articles. The only way I found the items was that somehow they got into Google. The other thing to remember is Google also indexes image files. I can't count how many times I searched for free pictures or graphics (by searching for a description e.g. name -- not just by searching on "free graphics"), and I ended up in a person's internal web directory--even on personal or university sites. Once a user is in the parent directory, they can access every page and image by just clicking down through the folders. Try picking a word-- like tom.jpg or sunset.jpg or other words and you can find someone's parent directory. Naming images oddly helps (like "n.jpg" or " 1.jpg"), but anyone could pick random combinations of letters/numbers and still possibly find the image. Even if you don't find an exact match, you'll still find files that have part of the letters you requested==searching for 1.jpg gets any file that ends with 1.jpg, like king-1.jpg or king_1.jpg Personally, if something is so important or private to password it, I'd invest in a dot com site so I could control the content. RW just doesn't allow us that level of control.

Please advise whether any of you are familiar coding which would accept a login and comparison to a validity database to have a portion of a Rootsweb website viewable only to valid members. Are .asp pages acceptable on Rootsweb? Dick Rose

Dick, Unless the rules have changed, Rootsweb does not allow password protected areas of a site. No, you can't use .asp. I have read some HTML that will do what you want. Can't remember where they are right now. I think you can find them using Google. An option that would work is to put an index.html page in that is basically a dummy. Then, create your real index page, with a different name and give that page to those people you want to authorize.
