Email Cloaker for Web - Simple utility generates code that cloaks e-mail addresses in HTML and prevents them from being harvested by spam spiders.

At present some programs collecting email addresses can already decrypt addresses encrypted with almost any method and add them to their database. Neither java script  cloak, nor html cloak can help. To protect against such email harvesters, you should not specify your email address on web pages in any form (neither plain nor encrypted) and Email Cloaker for Web 1.2 allows you to protect your addresses in such a way. Email Cloaker simply registers a spam-protected Contact Form for your email address on the server of the free service XInbox.com and then just creates a link to this form that you can specify both on your HTML pages and (which is quite important) on forums, chats, etc.

1. XInbox.com Unbreakable HTML Cloak
When this protection method is used, your email address is not specified in HTML code in any way. Instead, it is registered at the free service http://XInbox.com only once. This service creates a special page with a Contact Form on it for your email address. Those who want to contact you can use this page even without a mail client. It is recommended to use this method for protecting all your email addresses. Besides, try not to specify your email address in its plain form anywhere. Instead, give the link to your Contact Form at XInbox wherever possible.


2. Advanced java script  Cloak
When this protection method is used, the e-mail address is divided into parts and encrypted. It is decrypted directly in the browser window when the page is opened. This protection method is effective against most software collecting e-mail addresses, but the Internet browser must support java script  to be able to display an address encrypted in such a way. Nevertheless, all modern browsers currently support it so we recommend that you use this method to protect addresses you are afraid to encrypt with the XInbox Unbreakable protection method.


3. Simple Html Cloak
When this protection method is used, all characters in the e-mail address are replaced with their codes, which helps to keep your address in secret from a lot of software that collect addresses for spamming. However, this method is not effective enough. The unquestionable advantage of this protection method is that an e-mail address encrypted in such a way will be correctly displayed in all modern browsers with any security settings. That is why it is recommended to apply such encryption to all addresses you are afraid to protect with other methods.
