What are you doing with them? and is this a future plan or are you already using a db with a project? Jamie Edwards 11-22-2007, 07:24 AM The only way to secure the database is to secure the server and network it is hosted on. kemuel 11-22-2007, 10:45 AM And the code that uses it. SQL injection is something that does a lot of damage with beginning web programmers for one. creativeartist 11-22-2007, 10:54 AM You can make sure that you are hosted in the secure server and its location.Make sure that you are using a good hosting account triXtyle 11-22-2007, 03:21 PM and don`t forget the golden php function mysql_real_escape_string() :) cheers :beer: Floridaserver 11-22-2007, 04:11 PM Don't know exactly what you are doing..but what they said is important. Securing the server, ports, etc...is a given. Your code....any code....if used as a webserver is a potential 'in' and should be carefully taken care of. I would look at 'checking the url' as some hackers try to add code and script to the url they type..so checking that and cleaning it on every page with a function is not bad. Whenever you have post data of ANY kind ANY where on your site, you should clean it...and clean it well...Using '\' can get through some cheap programming filtering...so you really want to clean it anyway you can...I would check with a good programmer near you for this. Do not be afraid to use SSL through most of the site where forms are...and use somekind of javascript/human checker stuff...if no javascript on browser, they are already suspect...at least as far as programming. Back it up daily...and incrementally.. in many cases it is hard to steal the data and more likely they will destroy it. Encrypting makes no sense, but many do it (your server will unencrypt its own encryption...so all they have to do is run the decrypt on your server).. By incremental backups, binary up to the minute back ups , you can reconstitute the database and bring it back to where it was before the hacker got ya... but then you have to figure out what he did. Many free programs, especially the OOP kind, are hacked regularly...might want to get your own made...does not mean it is better built, it just means a hacker does not know the code and thus cannot easily break in. good luck |
