Hi guys;
one of my site admins did something the other day (not sure what) but he triggered Sentinel. The whole lot with pop ups- and it locked up his PC.
He's got Norton on it as well, and it started complaining about virus, etc (which I am not bothered about)
Now the thing is, we expected to get an email with details of the attempted "hack"- nothing. His IP wasn't blocked either, so I am somewhat slightly confused....
I can't give you more details, because we didn't get the email.... 
Any ideas?
Most sections of Sentinel are set to email me only, unless it's union type attack....
Any feedback is welcome! |

Hard to diagnose since you don't know what he did. My guess would be that whatever he did got caught by one of the settings that you don't have flagged as email. He may have triggered the UNION attack. |

This was my first thought;
but then why no email? why wasn't he banned/ blocked? (IP address has not showed up through sentinel OR admin secure....)  |

As I said, it may have been caught by one of your settings that you don't have set to email you. |

On one of my sites I didn't have the correct path to the .htaccess set ... so a bad visitor would get the screen pop ups, I'd get emailed, and the IP would show up in the database ... but they were not receiving the forbidden access to the site. So check your path in the admin.
Also do you have your "contact" set to a good email addy? The system doesn't put that in automatically. Maybe that's why no email. If you have it, only 1 per line. 
Email Only (from what I understand, so don't quote me) doesn't block anything just sends an email letting you know that something happened. I have Author and Script set to email only, all others block, email & background.

HW, you need to have Author set to KILL! That's one of the worst ones. |

Really ... I thought that was just for the people I set as authors?!?
So if I set to Kill will a little .45 pop out the screen and shoot the bugger ... lol |

That's for the Authors exploit that is destroying many nuke sites right now. |

Little HELP!?
well, I have a problem very much related to the original post in this topic.
I was blocked from my own site after trying to administer my Gallery. I am using Gallery from Menalto. 1.4.2. I was adding a New nested Album under an existing album.
Here is the info on why I was blocked by sentinel..By the way, those POP UPS are VICIOUS!!!
But, in WinXP you can simply right click the group of Icons on your task bar and close the whole group 
Anyone care to ponder why I was blocked?
After I hit the drop down the add a new album..BAMMO..POP UPS EVERYWHERE and then I could no longer access the site. I simply reset my DSL modem to change my IP and got back in, but thought I should let you all know about this if it hasn't already come up before.
The other funny thing I just noticed, NONE of my settings are set to hit the "hacker" with POP UPS. They are all set to Block and email...So why did I get the pop up killers on me???
Using Sentinel 1.2.0
WELL, I just got blocked AGAIN!
this is getting kooky! 
This time I was trying to modify an Albums properties. |

ARGH!. Again, my haste is premature.
I apoligize and thank you for your help.
At the very least, we created more search results for others with the same or similar problem 
and better yet...
