Today when i opened one of my website it is being re-directed to some other website and we have not implemented any re-direct on it. Is it a website hack? then how can we know?
We hear the same terms bandied about whenever a popular site gets hacked. You know… SQL Injection, cross site scripting, that kind of thing. But what do these things mean? Is hacking really as inaccessible as many of us imagine — a nefarious, impossibly technical twilight world forever beyond our ken? Not really. When you consider that you can go to Google right now and enter a search string which will return you thousands of usernames and passwords to websites, you realize that this dark science is really no mystery at all. You'll react similarly when you see just how simple a concept SQL Injection is, and how it can be automated with simple tools. Read on, to learn the basics of how sites and web content management systems are most often hacked, and what you can do to reduce the risk of it happening to you. If you are a website owner or developer, you are probably aware of the threat of hackers. There are many ways to protect your database-driven ASP or PHP website from hacker attacks, ranging from weak to strong security measures. Here you will learn about the most common and effective ways to slow down hackers who use methods like SQL injection attacks and XSS (cross-site scripting) via the URL querystring and form inputs. Two general types of hacker blocking techniques are discussed, including custom error pages and input validation. These methods are simple enough that you can do it yourself with only basic coding knowledge. Your best strategy would be to put up a combination of as many little obstacles as possible.
