If you're looking for a web analytics program but don't want to use Google Analytics, you might want to give CrawlTrack a look. This web application goes beyond simple analytics to help secure your website. Let's take a closer look. CrawlTrack is a web analytics and security web application for PHP-MySQL powered websites. It is similar to Google Analytics in the way that it tracks visitors and traffic sources. However, one of the positive aspects of this application is the ability to block website hacking attempts. Aside from offering traffic analysis/monitoring and security benefits, it is open source, which means you can implement it in your website for free. One of the most serious security problems on the Internet is website hacking. Unfortunately, a lot of web applications are still unsecured and do not offer anti-hacking protection. CrawlTrack has anti-hacking features that detect two of the most common hacking methods, namely MySQL injection and code/JavaScript injection. This is a two-part tutorial. The first part deals with the concepts, installation steps and integration of CrawlTrack into your website. The second part will discuss how to maximize the use of CrawlTrack, especially for interpreting and understanding website statistics, as well as maximizing the security of your website using their security features.
