SPARTA consists of two main functions. First, SPARTA powers the username and password authentication of your member's area. SPARTA is extremely efficient in doing so as it only authenticates the member once at login rather than on every request as most authentication systems do. SPARTA also supports advanced authentication features such as allowing mulitple username and password lists (either files or SQL based), CAPTCHA images at login to be sure a real person is logging in, and much more.

The second major function of SPARTA is the active prevention of password trading. SPARTA uses a full score system to determine if a username or an IP should be blocked or banned. Current blocked and banned users or IPs can be viewed and removed via the SPARTA admin area. Through the use of the CAPTCHA image feature of NATS brute force attacks become useless making your site much less vulnerable to hackers.

When combined with NATS, SPARTA allows you access to detailed member information inside your member's areas and additional fraud detection via NATS. SPARTA will run both in conjunction with NATS and as a stand alone application. SPARTA is a very advanced and useful application. Please speak with anyone at Too Much Media for more information on how SPARTA can both help protect your website and advance its functionality.
