Default Is your site a hackers playground?

I was sitting back thinking the other day on how hard it would it be to hack my site?
I was thinking to myself there must be a vulnerability somewhere that a useless hacker could take advantage of.
So i ended up googling SQL injection for the simple fact that is how most sites get knocked out of commission. Or it can be something as simple as you forgeting to change your perms to 666 on one little file. I found a great program over the net some may have heard of "Acunetix". This is what it does,
Quote:
Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner simulates numerous hacking techniques such as SQL injection, cross site scripting and more to identify vulnerabilities. As the scan is being completed, the software produces detailed reports that pinpoint where vulnerabilities exist.

By automating scans, Acunetix allows enterprises to conduct a thorough and complete vulnerability scan quickly and cost effectively.

I found several issues that my site had and fixed them fast.
So check it out and see how secure your site is!

Hi there,

Cool! I will definitely have to use the free trial and see if it is worth the price, this would be a handy little tool.


Regards,
Kieran Taylor.

Nice, but the best way to check your site for flaws is always to do it yourself. SQL Injection can be prevented by programs like this, too, but still it's best you do it yourself.

Even if you do do it yourself it still nice to have when you have tossed together 10000 lines of code.
