I'm trying to determine the best way to handle a few issues I've come up with on handling images for my site.Background:A small site that houses movie information. I have an admin section to upload multiple movies images per movie.Image files would be hosted on a CDN so access would pretty much be open.References to each image will be stored in the database.I would like to:1) Make sure I can prevent hot-linking as much as possible2) Have the filename some what obfuscated to prevent a scraper from just increment an id parameter in the URL.So far, I'm using a random string generator to come up with the image names which I believe takes care of #2.Looking for an answer to #1 and also any advice and best practices.
Best practice for defense agaist hotlinking and scraping images from your site
