![]() ![]() You may/should notice some speed improvements. So, ManyTools has now been moved to a shiny new hosting cluster. JPhasing out hosting server after (almost) 10 yearsĪfter having been running steadily on the previous server for almost ten(!) years, it became time to retire that machine. These intermittent errors were a byproduct of the recent server move and have now been fixed. ![]() The past few weeks you may have seen a server error or two on the steganography tool. JQuery $(document).one'click', '.AugSteganography tool fixed (server errors) The best is to have a form on the website and not to show email address, because all robots are more intelligent day after day, but if you need to show email address on the website, so, you can make it with ajax call on your server, and show it on click. The de/obfuscation algorithm is pretty simple so its not too taxing to write either (no need for base64 parsing) Īnd convert it to the proper links using Javascript. This example I provided is also for tel: links for phone calls. Using JQuery, but can easily be ported to plain JS if needed. ![]() replace the "noscript" section with another link to the email address image.replace link text with pointer to an image of my email address.Sorry, you need Javascript on to email me.Īfter I get that back, I paste it into an editor and: I used the Jottings Obfuscator at the link above to obscure (note I am cheating on the original intent of the jottings website by entering the string instead of with text "Send Me Email", which jottings turned into this Javascript: Obviously some of these improvements could be built into the mechanism on jottings itself, and since the code is openly available this would be relatively easy.Īn example may make this a bit more clear. Then just in case this method on becomes popular, I randomized the variable names in the output JavaScript to make it hard for a robot to spot an instance of jottings generated JavaScript code. One can improve this still further by getting rid of the link text - I replaced mine by an image of my email address that is in a fairly obscure font. ![]() The mailto: text string is in the clear and identifiable by robots (which could spot this and unobfuscate this string), but if one enters into the webpage an email address of the form instead of and then removes the text mailto: from the JavaScript that is generated, one suddenly has some JavaScript that does not look as though it has anything to do with email at all - just random JavaScript of which the web is full. The web page generates some JavaScript which can be improved on. I'm definitely willing to use JavaScript if necessary, as my website already makes use of tons of it.Īs a poster above said, I also use JavaScript obfuscation from the jottings website. I know that there is probably no perfect solution, but I was just wondering what everyone thought was best. This is less desirable, because not only will visitors be unable to click on it to send me an e-mail, but smarter spam bots will probably be able to detect the characters that the image contains. It works, but it also means that as soon as my website hits Google, I'll be wading through spam as spam bots easily pick out my e-mail address. What is the best way for me to obfuscate my e-mail address, preferably in link form? The methods I know of are: e-mail me And, despite my e-mail address not being very hard to guess, I'd rather not have it harvested by spam bots that just crawl websites for e-mail address patterns and add them to their database. So really, when it comes down to guessing it, it's not very hard.Īnyways, I want to integrate a mailto: link into my website, so people can contact me. My e-mail address is (my first last name).com. The URL of my personal website is (my first name).(my last name).com, as my last name is rather unusual, and I was lucky enough to pick up the domain name. I've spent the past few days working on updating my personal website. ![]()
