Top 10 Vulnerabilities in Web Applications

Posted by Hemos on from the learning-from-the-mistakes-of-others dept.

sverrehu writes "The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) has released a well-written document that is a must read for every web programmer out there. This security document is not about firewalls, encryption and patching. It's about common, highly exploitable errors made by the application programmers. Pick up your copy of "The Ten Most Critical Web Application Security Vulnerabilities" from the OWASP web site."

    NO dancing girls with default Apache install.

    Add 2-3 dancing girls, and hackers will be mesmerized by their antics, rather than hacking into your server and putting Mr. Goatse on the front page.

    Today on CNN - Military robots well trained for war

    The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is offering a $1 million cash prize to the winner of a planned robot vehicle race between Los Angeles and Las Vegas known as DARPA Grand Challange. The course will feature both on-road and off-road portions and will include extremely rugged, challenging terrain and obstacles. The purpose of the race is to stimulate interest in and encourage the accelerated development of autonomous ground vehicle technologies that could be used by the US military. See the DARPA website for Grand Challange Rules and details... For more news, refer to articles on these websites - Forbes, ABC, TOI

    Mods, how is it +5 Insightful to copy and paste a table straight from the posted article? Definitely redundant, perhaps interesting, but definitely not, as m-w.com puts it, "exhibiting insight or clear and deep perception".

    Yeah, your spelling IS bad. Do you code the same way? "Yeah, my code's buggy and I didn't comment anything. No one died, get over it."

    Take some friggin' pride in your work, kid.
