Question
Asp Database Security
Hi! I'm Jayson Escano, 17 years old, from Philippines. I am
making my personal website using dreamweaver 8 and I'm familiar
with it's user interface. I preferred to use ASP server language
because it is easy to manage and develop. My only issue is that the
MS Access database that I am using is not secure. Although I had
password protected it, a hacker could just look for the
Connections/conn***.asp page and read the database password. I'm
availing of the free hosting offered by somee.com but the
directories are not password protected. A hacker could also
download my MS Access database and view the "plain-text" user
passwords that are stored in the tables. Can you give me a crash
course on how to use hash/salt encryption in my application. I
usually use the record-insertion wizard to create a registration
form for me but I don't know how to edit the code to use hash/salt
encryption because it is too complex for me to understand. Can you
also give me tips on how to secure my website by other means. One
more thing, why does the page Object Moved with the text "Object
moved. Click here" always appear everytime I test my website on my
localhost by interacting with the forms etc,. I installed IIS V5.1
on my WinXP with IE 6.0.2. Is there a way to remedy this because it
is really annoying and will it happen on the website I uploaded on
my webhost. Can you give me other tips to optimize my website and
to use dreamweaver to its full potential.Please send me an email at
djayz007@gmail.com. I look forward to your urgent reply. Thank
you.
