Not much words needed here: allinurl:"tracking202/redirect"
This query will find domains with prosper202 installed on it. So better hide your links from GoogleBot!
PS: In case you don’t know what a google hack is (quote from here):
Google hacking is the term used when a hacker tries to find exploitable targets and sensitive data by using search engines.
It looks like the latest version of Prosper202 (1.2.1) includes this robots.txt directive by default. Good job guys!
yeah, its not really a prosper issue. it could be any tracking software for that matter. By default websites leave footprints, then get indexed by the search engines. It takes extra effort to hide or reduce these footprints.
This code will prevent spiders and the archive server from getting record of the site:
# Disallow Web Bots
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
# Disallow Archive Bots
User-agent: ia_archiver
Disallow: /
Hey Wes, IMHO the problem is users not hiding their links rather than a Prosper202 issue. But disallowing spidering at all in robots.txt is a good idea anyway. I’m not perfectly sure if the standard robots file which comes with Prosper202 has the right syntax:
Disallow:AFAIK it should read like this:
Disallow: /Thanks for bringing this out in the open so we can work on improving the software, we’ve made some changes after checking out this post, thanks Erik! -wes!
Yes, that’s a good post! Actually I knew this post already.
All the more reason to secure your Prosperr202 installation from the start. Check out this link for this comment for details.
