Cross-Site Scripting and PHP Babes
Jun 05, 2002 @ 11:46:43

Over on ne of our other PHPDN sites - PHPAdvisory.com, there's a new piece on something that should scare quite a few scripters out there. The Cross Site Scripting FAQ talks about scripts that use and abuse info from other websites but "stealing" the user's data.
Cross site scripting (also known as XSS) occurs when a web application gathers malicious data from a user. The data is usually gathered in the form of a hyperlink which contains malicious content within it. The user will most likely click on this link from another website, web board, email, or from an instant message.
This FAQ gives some nice, detailed information about the dangers of CSS, and how to protect yourself and your information.

Also today, from over on yet anoter PHPDN website, PHPComplete.com - there's a fun little link for those out there that like a little spice in their PHP. This PHP Babes website has several illustrations created with the elephant PHP logo that is so popular overseas (I'm not sure why it hasn't caught on here).Anyway, if you want a nice diversion today, and want to check out some nice PHP-related art, give this site a look (note: the pages takes a while to load, so be patient).
