Some common questions we are regularly asked by customers interested in purchasing OpenCrypt.

How secure is OpenCrypt?

As with all .htaccess associated systems, if you don't have the correct login details, you can't get in. Unless of course you were to 'hack' as it were, via another weak point on the system to gain access to the .htaccess protected data.

The most common method of hacking an Internet member's area is simply to guess login details, it's the original, most basic and most common method of 'hacking'. If you were to try this method 'on' OpenCrypt, you have for example, five chances to get the login details right (depending upon server configuration, this can be one chance if you'd like). If in five attempts you have not entered the login details, that is it. Even if on the sixth go you were to enter the correct login details, the system will still protect the member's area content and the user will not gain access until an administrator 'unblocks' the account/user via the administration panel.

If required, the system can block the user from the entire web site in addition to the secure content.
