This plugin scans the wordpress installation folder for paterns usualy found in exploits/throjans/malware web scripts. The plugin produces quite a few false positive alerts but also it's very easy to spot suspicious code in suspicious files. It would be nice if read full article]]> http://www.erata.net/security/wordpress-exploit-scanner-plugin/feed/ 0 I gave up on Coppermine Gallery http://www.erata.net/security/i-gave-up-on-coppermine-gallery/ http://www.erata.net/security/i-gave-up-on-coppermine-gallery/#comments Fri, 27 Feb 2009 16:14:33 +0000 Iulian Margarintescu http://www.erata.net/?p=60 Coppermine Photo Gallery for http://gallery.erata.net but today i've decided to close it down.

The following will be a few techniques that i tend to use the first time i see an web application ( and generally a database application ). I will use PHP for the few code examples but the vulnerabilities presented are not limited to PHP, in fact are independent of the server-side programming language used. read full article]]> http://www.erata.net/security/web-application-security-flows/feed/ 0
