Secure Web Form Development
For anyone that does any type of web development, you should know that XSS has become a major security issue these days.
I had found a great article over at Nettuts that gives a great tutorial on how to secure your web forms with form keys. Each and every time a form is displayed to a user, it creates a key and authenticates that key to make sure that someone is not trying to inject data through your forms.
Drop on over to here to take a look at the tutorial.
Enjoy!

Beginning winSecure & taking requests!
I decided that this week, I'm going to put together a new script called winSecure.
This script will be designed to secure a default Windows XP installation based on common good practices for system administrators to use. I will be putting all my design notes and work progress on my google code site, so drop on over there to see the progress and offer up any suggestions for what you want to see in the script.
Also, I decided that I would love to share my knowledge of Windows scripting with WMI and ADSI to the community so I am now officially taking requests for scripts that you the community would like to see developed to make your job easier. So drop me an email gerry [at] mstaint [dot] com with some specs.
Enjoy!
