hello,

I have been pondering over this for a while, adn i cant seem to find any
answers to my questions.

Website security. I see written everywhere, do this to increase security,
do that to increase security, but what i want to know is what a hacker can
do to a website. Like how can they retrieve dsn info, or access your db,
or download your cfcs, so i can be aware of exactly what they an do. I
cannot find anything detailing exactly what you are to prevent happening.
do you follow?

for example, a form which sends mail. 

For security: The recieving template would check that the refferer  was
your form on your site and that the vars it can accept are form.field and
form.field2 etc.

to prevent: This is to prevent somebody using the template from a remote
computer/site

Like info which is stored in a db, is it really safe? i know there are
security things to put in place but what do they prevent,

Hope i make sense.

from a confused ajmie!
