Think Different

Introduction PHP is a remarkably powerful open-source server-side scripting language. In very little code it is possible to do things which would be much more complex to do in other similar languages like Perl, ASP, JSP, ColdFusion, or C. However, the desire to hack together a quick solution can lead to insecure web applications which can place your data and, in some cases, your server at risk. This presentation will address some of these issues as they relate to PHP and offer some suggestions to get you thinking in a direction which will provide more security. PHP is neither inherintly secure nor insecure. It is the responsibility of the programmer of a web application, the database administrator and the system administrator to ensure that security is not compromised at several levels as described in Mark Nenadov's article Developing Secure Web Applications. Operating System/Web Server Layer (Red Hat Linux with Apache) General Application Layer (issues common to any web applicatio...

When we reach his home in Kandukur village in Andhra Pradesh, 21-year-old Nukathoti Kondaiah serves us bottled mineral water, freshly cut fruit and cold drinks in plastic cups. That may not seem such a big deal but earlier in the day Kondaiah had trudged a couple of hours in the sweltering heat to the nearest grocery store to buy these luxuries. Next month he will begin work with Wipro as a trainee in its software department, taking his mentally-challenged mother with him for treatment. We talk under the shade of a banyan tree surrounded by a crowd of villagers who treat Kondaiah like a celebrity. An eight-year-old fidgeting with the photographer's camera says he'd like to be Kondaiah when he grows up.
