I certainly agree with the advice given thus far, but—it's important to keep things in perspective when dealing with security. The mantra I usually chant is somthing like “There Is No Magic”1,which is to say that there should be a limit to the amount of paranoia in these things. After all, in order for a cracker to break security, it still comes down to executing foriegn code in your process space. And the only way for that to happen is for someone to let them (un-intentionly or not)! Sort of like vampires, they need the invitation before they can enter. I suppose that what I am saying is “Be careful, Be diligent, Be rational—but don't be more than that!”

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
