Hi List, One thing I have not heard any one discuss is the use of automated scripts and form hacking. I could easily write a Java program to attack any ASP,JSP,PHP etc.. simply by viewing the page source to find the parameters the form processor will be looking for. You could use this to fill up some ones database with garbage bring the server to a standstill or worse yet bypass all the fancy javascript you had on the calling page. Some web applications actually use javascript to calcualte currency transactions. What ideas do you guys have to protect yourself from these? Thanks, Chad
