Web Input - Securing Data, Second Level of Defense

BugsAlert Home > Web Input - Securing Data, Second Level of Defense
 
 

LinuxSecurity.com: My implicit presumption in this series is that break ins are unplanned, opportunistic occurrences. Break in attempts are triggered by encountering an input form. As I mentioned previously, do not give information away needlessly. Moreover, I strongly suggest you consider becoming passively aggressive by making your presentation of the form and its expected input somewhat unpredictable. Moreover, I advise turning your data input into a simple waste of time and effort for those not trained to use the entry way. The intent is to encourage those seeking easy break in opportunities to turn their sights on other targets. This article looks at the problem of how Web Application should validate the data they receive from the end-user. Do you validate your data from the Internet?
