By going through the GUI of your web site, Its hard to say what you have done with your coding to prevent malicious attacks. Google for term XSS, sql injection, etc you may find lots.Oh refer to Php Articles section too. good luck!

Hi.

Please do not post links, especially not links to pages filled with advertisement. That sort of links can easily bee viewed as Spam or Advertisement and as such they are not tolerated here at TSDN!

Please read the Posting Guideline before posting.

Also, do not expect us to do the work for you. Attempt to find security weaknesses in your page yourself and post back if you have any problems or questions.

However, I will give you a hint as to what to look for:
  • Directories with permission set to 777 (gives guests write permission)
  • POST or GET variables being used without any pre validation.
  • User being able to post <html> tags directly onto your page. Hint, check out the htmlentities() function
  • Users being able to type SQL commands in form inputs that get executed on the server without validation.
  • Passwords being saved without any encryption.
  • File uploads that do not validate the file. Users could be uploading viruses or other nasty things onto your server.
Thats all I can remember right now but it is not by far a complete list, as I do not expect there will ever be a complete list.

Good luck.

Hi, I run a few sites and I want to log in my main site database when/if there is a problem, (like a page not found or an unknown agent). But I don't want to give direct access to my database to the other sites, so how could I safely pass data, (without passwords), from one site to another? Thanks. Simon

I've made the decision to use search engine friendly URLs in my site which means translating stripping all parameters our of the URL and converting it to a hierarchical URL like this: Change: /mysite/default.aspx?MenuID=contactus To: /mysite/ContactUs.aspx? The problem I'm having is that its really slowed things up by at least 0.5 seconds to 1 second longer just to pull up a light weight static page. The

I saw a lot of requests for a program like this, so I wrote it. Yeah, my site has "PSP software by Auri" but in this case it means "Pretty Sweet Programming" :) There's both a VS2005 add-in and a standalone app (separate downloads, you don't need both). This is my second developer utility this year - my first being the Lorem Ipsum generator from a few weeks back. Download and get more info on WebPrecompiler at...

I help manage a large web site, one that has over 600 html pages... It's a reference site for ham radio folks and as an example, one page indexes over 1.8 gb of on-line PDF documents. The site is structured as an upside-down tree, and (if I remember correctly) never more than 4 levels. The site basically grew (like the creeping black blob) ... all the pages were created in Notepad over the last

Howdy All, Is it possible to have Visual Studio 2005 create a project form an existing hosted website? In other words I want to be able connect via ftp to my website structure and have it pull down all the files and create a local project from it? I know things like DreamWeaver will do this ... and I have been poking around VS 2005 and haven't seen anything that jumps out at me.

Is there any way I can limit the access to my website? I have a site "A" and I want to allow access to it only from site "B" login user. If someone try to access site "A" directory, I want it redirected to site "B" for login. After login at site "B", you see the link to site"A". When you click it, you see login page for site "A". Is it possible? Thanks.

Hi all, Within an IFRAME of a standard site constructed of mostly static HTM type pages, I am calling up one page from a large ASP.NET 3.5 site. I have precompiled the ASP.NET site and published. "Allow precompiled site to be updateable" is NOT checked. "Enable strong naming on precompiled assemblies" is NOT checked. However, "Use fixed naming and single page assemblies" IS checked. I did with the idea that if I call a single page from...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
