Guest M i k e Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I see a file indexed called "spidertrap.php" I am running the trial version. I need to know what this file is and what it does. There is no such file in the directory, so it must be something being done on the fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Brookbanks Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Hi Mike, Thats not a CubeCart file. It might be worth showing your hosting company to make sure the server hasn't been compromised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinetic Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I googled spidertrap.php and found this link http://ken.coar.org/Podium/show.php?p=phpblock&slide=10 How this file got on the above users site is probably from their HOST spidertraps are their to stop spiders that dont follow the robots.txt (spam spiders) but can cause other kinds of harm like getting your site dropped from google Kinetic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest M i k e Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Yes, thanks for the info Al and Kinetic I've set my CubeCart up on HostGator.... they seem to have a good reputation, but I have never used them before. Very interesting indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
