New Two-Headed Hard Drive Intended To Secure Web Sites

dlur writes: "This article states that Scarabs (In Japanese), a Japanese company, is developing a hard drive with two heads, one read-only and another that is read/write. With this comes two cables, the read-only side going to the external web server, and the r/w cable going to an internal protected server. While this should make it quite a bit tougher for script kiddies to place their mark on a page, I doubt it will stop any real hackers from getting to a site's DB as that would still need to be r/w."

He makes a good point. Yet is moderated flamebait. It's like moderating "the sun can burn you" as flamebait. Sheesh

Run the server from a CD-ROM

But again, the databse is the soft chewy center of a website.
