We'd just like to say thanks to Steve at Pennywize for creating what is a
truly outstanding product. We used the old version of Pennywize which was
pretty good, but the new version is just outstanding !! Since opening our
site in January 1999 we have had over 2 million visitors, and in becoming
the UK's No.1 Swinger site we've attracted many hackers trying to access the
site without paying a penny. Having experienced 2 hacks in quick succession
which cost us over $2000 in bandwidth charges Pennywize was the answer to
our prayers, we can honestly say it's saved us thousands of pounds as we
seem to be targetted by hackers every other day, in fact on September 13th
2000 there were 1450 attempts to hack our site all of which failed due to
Pennywizes fantastic protection.
We now sit back happy in the knowledge that when people do steal passwords
or try to hack the site, they simply get sent to one of our click thru
partners who PAY US for sending them traffic, so instead of losing money
from hackers we actually make money, and not on our bandwidth either !!
Steve is incredibly helpful, and when we moved to a new server did the
installation for us on the same day we requested it, now that's what I call
a complete service !
Keep up the good work Steve, and may Pennywize live long, it's an absolute
MUST HAVE for any serious adult webmaster...

I am building a web hosting business here and attracting more and more sites. I'd love to refer all the pay sites to Pennywize. Your service has worked beautifully for the first two sites we put up on it. The site owners are extremely pleased, and you've made me look like a hero ... Pennywize is an elegant, simple and effective solution for any pay site. I love it! Wish I'd thought of it!

After using Pennywize for over year I didn't think
things could get any better but your latest release
is amazing. I run several movie sites and pennywize
is a must for them all. Your "Brute Force" protection
saved me over 3 gig of bandwith in only three days.
I was serving out thousands of error pages daily.
The first day pennywize stopped 104 Brute Force attacks !
Pennywize has proven and paid for itself 100 times over.
Bravo !

Pennywize rocks! I would recommend it to anyone trying to protect
their site from unauthorized entry. It was definately one of the best
investments I have made. The product performs flawlessly and Steve
is a cool guy anxious to help out whenever he can.

Pennywize has saved us thousands of dollars in bandwidth and is
worth every penny. I can now sleep at night knowing that my site is
not being ripped off. I don't do this for fun you know... Anyway, thanks
again for all your help, I should add the tech support for Pennywize is
outstanding...

BTW, great program - we would have massive bandwidth issues if it
wasn't for pennywize. The password sites send us thousands of
denied visitors even though all of the accounts they have are
redirected to other pages.

I have been using pennywize for two years now, to protect my sites, the main one being www.legshow.net.
In that time, many stolen and traded passwords have been disactivated due to the pennywize scripts - saving me a lot of cash in extra bandwidth usage.
It has also save me from severe damage due to attacks by brute force hacking attempts - By the look of my stats at pennywize, 100's of attempts!
I thought that was all pennywize was useful for - But I was wrong!
Recently, I noticed that my membership was falling off dramatically. Almost five hundred in one month left. I could not work out why - I was still updating the sites every day with good quality unique images.
As a last resort, I spent a few hours going over my pennywise stats - checking and double checking.
Then it hit me - I had several "new" members with exactly the same ip address. I downloaded all my password files and found that many new passwords had been added manually.
This could only be done through my ccbill webmaster stats page. And I hadn't added them!
My webmasters' stats page had been hacked - and by a fellow webmaster. I checked out the offending ip. It was from someone using a H.I.S system where the complete ip stays the same.
This explained why my members were cancelling - Another webmaster was doing it for them!
CCBILL are now investigating their scripts and they will also be looking at all the information I was able to glean from my pennywize stats.
I can only say that pennywize saved me from bankruptcy - if I hadn't had them, I would never have found out.

Pennywize is a very cool programme - it stops them password sites

With Pennywise running on our site, I no longer worry about
password bandits attacking my site. Pennywize deletes accounts
when they are over used and notifies me by email.

I LOVE password traders! With Pennywize, I redirect the thousands
of people coming to my server when an account is given out to my
banner advertising page, and I actually make good money from it!

Hi there! Our first ever encounter with a mega-big password site has
led us to your door. The first name that comes to our mind when we
think of password protection is Pennywize, so here we are! Thanks
for your time! We can't imagine not purchasing your product unless
our web guru tells us it's not gonna run on his server. 4774 accesses
to one U/P overnight is enough to scare 99 bucks out of us! ;-)

Being new at the webmaster business, I am amazed at how much of my technical problems were being caused by illegal traffic. Both myself and my Web Host kept on thinking there was something wrong with their server. Immediately after installing your software we were surprised at the extent of illegal traffic that was driving up the bandwidth and grinding the site to a halt. After your software cleared out the hackers and password abusers the site is now running faster and smoother.
Many thanks, I wish I had known about your stuff sooner.
