Depends a bit upon what data is on the site.
If it's a banking site then there will be differing security requirements
than for a site which shows on line chocolate cookie recipes.
Ask yourself: "what's the worst that can happen?"
Someone deletes your data? So make a timed backup now and then.
Someone posts profanity? So swear back at them and make sure you get your
insult in first.
As for query string manipulation, I often use it for checking share prices
or querying the product databse for for sites that would otherwise have me
clicking back and forth. Nothing malicious about that, i think.

Hi all
I was wondering if there were any guidlines to follow before a publishing
a site out in the www.
I'm most concerned about security, I can ensure the data is secure over
HTTPS and i can ensure no-one views information that they shouldn't be.
But what about things like using querystrings etc? Is it a good idea to
rely to much on querystring usage, will people try and hack the site? Will
they try and access things they shouldn't be? That sort of thing.
Is there anything I should be careful about when releasing a site?
Thanks
Kev
