Use a version of your form submission script which prevents spamming. If it's the old Matts Archive, go to sourceforge and get the improved, non-spammable version.
"Hack Proofing Your Web Applications", Jeff Forristal and Julie Traxter, Syngress; provides a good overview of what the issues are and some specific fixes. Good chapters on cgi. I think the book is still available. drew -----Original Message----- From: Brewnetty (AuntySpam) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2003 1:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [wdvltalk] server security question What are measures you can take if you have gotten stuck with a web space provider whose security leaves much to be desired. Are there personal site "firewalls" one can use to beef up form submission security for example? Example: We want new users to be able to sign up by form submission but spammers have been using our site to do mass mailings. I need ideas for solutions to offer to my team.
