Its not about a single solution being the silver bullet. The only security is defense in depth. You build secure code. You filter input and output. You configure php.ini properly. You configure httpd.conf properly. Install mod_security. Install an IDS that filters for well known attacks against your server. Install a reporting tool that monitors your logs. Make sure your PHP reports warnings, errors, and fix them... Point is... its only a step in the overall level of layered security. The more tools you put up, as you require or can use but only you can determine that, the more an attacker has to get thru. -- Paul Laudanski, Microsoft MVP Windows-Security [cal] http:/events.castlecops.com [de] http://de.castlecops.com [en] http://castlecops.com [wiki] http://wiki.castlecops.com [family] http://cuddlesnkisses.com
