Public data breaches in one form or another are more prevalent than ever these days, so it’s important to use a variety of tactics to keep hackers at bay. While a database on your network or in your application is safe enough on its own, when you connect perfectly secure web interface to a perfectly secure database you can, unfortunately, create the perfect attack vector. Add in a little notoriety from an advertising campaign and instantly you are on the radar of script kiddies, hackers and an endless storm of botnet networks that scour the internet perpetually looking for an opportunity to steal your data.

The beauty of the SQL injection attack is that hackers are using the inherent functionality of the database against itself. Fundamentally, a successful SQL injection attack is basically the result of an unprotected or “un-sanitized” question being asked of a database. As it is the very nature of a database to allow for the querying or “asking of properly formatted questions” to retrieve data, SQL injection is little more than a database doing what it is was built to do. The problem with this method is that you can access data that is never intended to be returned, as well as access stored functionality in the database that was never intended to be used by an over-the-internet interface.

So, how do we fix it? Well, that is not so easy. If it were easy, we would just install a tool or a patch and move on, like we did with NIMDA, a quick-spreading computer worm released back in 2001. This is no NIMDA and the “fix” is multi facetted. First, it requires training and awareness of the DBA and Web team of the vulnerabilities that exist in database driven content served up over the internet. Second, it requires a professional environment where it is acceptable to ask for help and/or training so that an employee is not made to feel inferior for not having the complex issue resolved. Next, management needs to support their coders with a professional development infrastructure that fosters a solid and practical implementation of secure coding principles. If you are using third party or outsourced development teams, considerable care should be given to understanding which controls, frameworks and methodologies are in place to ensure you get functionality and security in your apps. Finally, test your applications for negative and positive results from perspectives outside of the basic, intended functionality. Peer and third party review of all “go-live” code should happen as a normal QA function, at every major and minor revision. ]]> Paid hosting discussion specialhost http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?2249578-Tips-for-Preventing-SQL-Injection-Attacks http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?2249567-Directory-For-Hosting&goto=newpost Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:29:48 GMT Hi Friends,

Asp.net is superior to ASP Classic. There are four main areas that make ASP.NET a much better choice for programmers. These four areas include: stability, performance, scalability and language support.

Stability
ASP is running under the inetinfo.exe (IIS) process space, making it susceptible to application crashes. This happens because the IIS needs to be stopped or restarted on a regular basis. The ASP.Net process is separate from inetinfo.exe, meaning that it is not susceptible to these types of application crashes. This means that the final product will be much more stable.

Compilation
SP Classic is comprised of VBScript or Jscript interpreted at run-time which means each page has a specific performance hit due to line by line interpretation. The interpretation of the pages simply results in some inefficiency.
ASP.NET however compiles the code the first time it is accessed. The compiled code results in .NET classes housed within assemblies and allow subsequent page requests to be serviced with previously compiled code. ASP.NET therefore inherently provides a more secure and largely efficient rendering model by incorporating compilation and specifically the reuse of the compiled code. This ultimately means a better experience for the end user.

Scalability
With Classic ASP applications, components used by pages are fairly difficult to update, maintain or replace. In general updating a component in a running application will require the shutting down of IIS, replacement of the component and finally a restart of IIS.
ASP.NET was built to provide specific enhancements that allow scalable and efficient application updating. The 'xcopy' deployment model of .NET allows replacement of pages and components in real time and does not require a restart of the web server. If an update needs to be made to a current production application, developers can simply make the change and the infrastructure can account for that change the next time a request is made to the altered page or component. This means that content updates, fixes and enhancements to ASP.NET applications can be made in real time with little to no impact to the user base.

Language Support
ASP.NET supports full server side programming languages and not just scripting languages. Only VBScript and Javascript are available for scripting in ASP Classic where as, in ASP.NET there are no such restrictions. With ASP.NET several programming languages like C# and VB.NET are available to program in accordance to the developers preference where both of them can even be used in the same application. The benefits of using server side programming languages can be seen in the previously mentioned compilation of code and the fact that rich control sets and complex frameworks are available to applications. In summary, the language support of ASP.NET allows for the development of robust, feature rich applications with deep programmatic support. ]]> Paid hosting discussion specialhost http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?2249563-ASP.NET-4.5-Hosting-Reasons-Why-ASP.NET-a-Much-Better-Choice-For-Programmers http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?2249562-Servercomplete.com&goto=newpost Mon, 17 Jun 2013 23:36:23 GMT I thought it would be good to just share a small experience with this hosting company.

I purchased a dedicated server with servercomplete, it was very high spec and extremely cheap! I believe it was apart of an offer at the time of purchase however. The customer service was the BEST I have ever had, extremely quick and honest replies to support tickets and set up was very quick. The server was very fast and lived up to it's high spec also.

Due to some development/personal changes we had to put our project on hold therefore cancel the server. This was also fast to request cancellation and staff was very helpful. When we get back on track we will definitely be hosting with them again.

Although a very short time was spent with this company, I feel it would be good to share with everyone that I had full confidence in them and was happy with the whole lot.

Thanks guys, we will be back soon! ]]> Paid hosting discussion Dark Matter http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?2249562-Servercomplete.com http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?2249506-Host-Pair-(aka-So-Cheap-Host)-1.5-year-review&goto=newpost Tue, 11 Jun 2013 17:17:23 GMT I want to share my experience of last 1.5 years with Host Pair (aka socheaphost).

ASP.NET 2.0 and ASP.NET 1.1 offered a number of quality features too, but ASP.NET 3.5 has made use of such applications that has increased the popularity of ASP.NET as a development platform.

The ASP.NET Merge Tool is one of the new features that have been added to this platform. Web hosters are able to merge such assemblies that have been pre-compiled previously. Other important features and improvements that have been included are:
1 - New Data Controls
2 - Integrated AJAX Support
3 - The LinqDataSource Control
4 - IntelliSense for ASP.NET Ajax and Java
5 - Support for LINQ
6 - Improved Design time experience

The fact that Integrated AJAX Support has been included into ASP.NET 3.5 hosting means that users are now able to make use of such benefits:
1- Round trips or unnecessary web server hits have been lessened
2- The user interface has been developed in such a way that it is more responsive and ultimately richer.
3- Web page updates are based on Real-time
4- Language neutrality has been introduced
5- Web pages get delivered at a faster rate
6- It makes sure that the memory of the user's system is not put into over-load.

The ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit is another application that has been included into this hosting solution. This application makes use of code samples and a SDK. Its basic benefit is that it allows web hosters to make their web site or webpage more visually appealing in no time. The tools make sure that the user is able to add aesthetic appeal to his website without much difficulty.
Web services such as Membership, Authentication, Profiles, Management, etc are also supported by ASP.NET 3.5 hosting. These are primarily ASP.NET application services.

ASP.NET 3.5 hosting also allows the web hosters to create such websites that enable AJAX for ASP.NET. The user is also given the opportunity to create such website that enable WCF and ASMX with the help of the Microsoft AJAX Library.
The New Data Controls that are offered by ASP.NET 3.5 hosting include DataPager and ListView. ListView allows users to make use of C (Create) R (Read) U (Update) D (Delete) functions, i.e. CRUD operations. ListView also allows the user to sort and page data. It is a flexible control and makes use of list controls such as Datagrid, Gridview, Repeater and the like.

In order to make sure that paging functions were integrated into date controls without any difficulty, DataPager was included in ASP.NET 3.5 hosting. ]]> Paid hosting discussion specialhost http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?2249433-ASP-NET-3.5-Hosting-Why-ASP-NET-3.5-Hosting-Popular-Among-Webmasters-and-Web-Develo http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?2249432-SharePoint-Hosting-From-A-Managed-Services-Perspective&goto=newpost Wed, 05 Jun 2013 02:59:11 GMT As business needs, hardware and applications continue to evolve, this year promises to bring plenty of technology developments that will impact managed IT support services. 2013 appears to be a year that's ripe for an expansion of companies moving to the cloud, specifically the hybrid cloud this has big implications for managed IT support services.

Moreover, in most organizations CFOs control more IT services spending decisions it's more important than ever that firms consider managed IT support services to ensure they're getting the most value out of their technology investments. An article on CIO.com citing a Forrester Research survey reports that more than 40 percent of companies expect their CFOs will have an increasing say in IT services expenditures over the next year. This represents a 5 percent increase over last year's survey. Additionally, spending for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) projects will increase by as much as 5 to 10 percent this year, according to more than one-third of the survey respondents. The Forrester Research survey follows a study by Everest Group that found 75 percent of IT initiatives last year were initiated by the business community. Only 25 percent began in IT.

From a SharePoint perspective - Managed IT support services can play a critical role for the estimated 51 percent of SharePoint-enabled companies that have no governance strategy in place, That figure comes from an article on the CMSWire website. In a SharePoint environment, on average 26% of the budget goes to facilities, while about 37% is allocated to labor costs. The labor cost aspect is compounded by the fact that experienced SharePoint resources are expensive and difficult to find. A Managed Services approach can give you a complete view of your infrastructure and be able to focus on efficiency and performance at that level - rather than delivering mere localized results.

Moreover, governance concerning change control policy is especially important. It might not be feasible for small businesses to develop a governance strategy by themselves due to the costs involved. That's where managed IT support services can help. A trusted provider will make sure any technical and security requirements won't be broken. This will help companies alleviate some of the pain points that they cite when it comes to SharePoint management.
According to Richard Harbridge, a Boston-based SharePoint consultant, future-proofing any SharePoint strategy involves at least two critical components; having a clear strategy to begin with, and an eye on the future and what future challenges can be addressed by a SharePoint solution. The goal of any SharePoint initiative should be to enable an enterprise to grow its business, make changes quickly and be more efficient. A governance strategy helps ensure that SharePoint plans are aligned with those critical business goals. The four areas where businesses have the greatest difficulties:
• Security and permissions (cited by 60.8 percent in a study of over 1,000 SharePoint administrators).
• The management of content and information storage (cited by 51.3 percent)
• No enterprise governance (46.8 percent).
• Time to manage and application management (43.8 percent).

Choosing SharePoint 2010 as a platform for your site provides customers with a variety of features and great capabilities. It is a service for creating sites and work areas for the most productive working and work in teams for industries and firms of all sizes, without any dependence of whether you have a small business or large establishment. The first thing users get acquainted with is SharePoint wheel. You can see it in all whitepapers and often in official documentation. This is the round schema which describes the areas of abilities of SharePoint 2010 platform.

This wheel contains from six key areas. They are Sites, Communities, Content, Search, Insights and Composites. Let's describe each of them in more detail.
Sites enables users to create sites for sharing documents, publishing info, making projects and far more capabilities with preconfigured site templates - as blank site, team site, document workspace, Blog, Wiki, Meeting workspaces and so on. Also customers can create SharePoint lists, share calendars, set up an alerts and workflow notifications, and, what is more, invite external users to collaborate on their sites. SharePoint service 2010 provides multi-lingual interface for staffs of a variety of countries and languages to make partnership more operative internationally. For building secure work they can assign permissions of the sites to other users.

Communities make cooperation much simpler and effective with creating blogs and wikis, discussion forums," Ask me about" sections, college suggestions, profiles and personal sites. There is an advantage of tagging the content, which is needed for easier navigation.
As for the Content area, this one shows the facilities for creation different types of files, store and export multiple documentations, open and edit documents directly from the SharePoint site, assign them unique IDs, create meta-data fields.

Search area allows clients to find the needed content or libraries across site collections with contextual search, phonetic or people search, and expertise search for finding partners and experts; additionally enables viewing documents in browser.
Insights is the area for accessing information in databases with a help of Excel services, distribution Visio diagrams, making business data web parts and chart web parts.

And, finally, Composites - the area for customizing sites for exact business requirements without help of IT guys. Users are allowed to connect to external data by Business Connectivity services, upload custom sandbox solutions, create workflows with SharePoint Designer 2010, publish and edit Access data bases in browser and create InfoPath form templates.

Worth paying attention also the fact that not all of the facilities of SharePoint 2010 are available immediately, some of them need to be configured and any particular subscription plan includes its number of SharePoint features. To start using SharePoint and evaluate all its advantages you need to subscribe it from one of the reliable hosting company.
