Unfortunately, we find it necessary to monitor such activities in light of attempts to corrupt Livingunderworld.org's database and cgi files. Please note that only suspicious activity is noted, and all normal visits are ignored. Livingunderworld.org and Amphibiainfo.com do not, and will not, sell or reveal any user information from our logs to outsiders. These log files are strictly for security purposes, and remain anonymous, with the exception of suspicious or malicious activities. Suspicious activities include attempts to access the cgi-bin, root directory, or database files, persistent "who is" inquiries, and attempts to re-write, upload, or corrupt materials on Livingunderworld.org and Amphibiainfo.com. 

Livingunderworld.org and Amphibiainfo.com contain numerous secured sections that are not available to the general public. These include cgi scripts, javascripts, log files, error log files, user authorized pages, and others. All attempts to access these pages through http or ftp are logged in files that are monitored daily. Repeated attempts to access forbidden sections will result in the expulsion of such users, with the possibility of legal action. This is an educational website put in place for the benefit of those interested in the subject matter, and as such, Livingunderworld.org and Amphibiainfo.com will not tolerate malicious behavior on any level. 

Our "Log & Monitor" policy went into effect in early 2003 when it was recognized that Livingunderworld.org is generating several thousand visits per month, and that attempts to access secure sections are carried out on a daily basis. Most of these accesses are assumed to be accidental or benign in purpose, however, others are clearly intentional and possibly malicious. As an organization, livingunderworld.org is rather liberal with source code and scripts, and in most cases, will gladly share such information with anyone who asks. If you are seeking access to certain materials for legit purposes, please email info@livingunderworld.org, and avoid attempts at accessing them through the browser.

Unauthorized attempts to upload information or change information on this website are strictly prohibited and may be punishable under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act. As mentioned above, users should be aware that every action occurring within Livingunderworld.org's domain is recorded and monitored.
