Check IT List: Preventing identity theft 12/28/2004 01:09 AM
Michael Gregg of SearchSmallBizIT.com writes: Businesses are increasingly tasked with processing more and more amounts of electronic information. This can be especially burdening on small and medium-sized businesses because of their size and manpower. If they fail to handle this information properly, they may be just one click away from disaster. It’s a valid possibility that the organization could be held liable if personal data is disclosed to an unauthorized person. The business could also…

Preventing Image Leeching

Preventing Image Leeching 07/21/2004 08:14 PM

Smarter Image Hotlinking Prevention: Here's a great antidote for hotlinkers — people who embed images from YOUR Web site in their page (so they get the image at your bandwidth expense). This system will prevent images from loading in pages not on your site.

These fixes aren't uncommon, but this one takes the extra step of allowing you to "frame" a direct image link in an HTML page that gives you credit, like this. Note the URL.

The weakness behind a lot of these systems is that they're based on the HTTP_REFERER. When an HTML page requests an image due to an IMG tag, it sends the address of the page as the HTTP_REFERER header. The theory being that you should check that referrer to make sure it matches your site — if not, the image is being requested from a page on a site other than yours.

However, this is screwed up by people (like me) who set their browsers to not pass a referrer (for good reasons like this one). The system detailed here will exempt any request with a blank referrer field, so people like me will still see leeched images, but we're the vast minority, so it's probably not a big deal.

Incidentally, this tutorial is a great demonstration of the power of Apache directives — namely mod_rewrite.< /a> Apache rules.

(I have a small problem with image leechers on this site. There are a couple sites out there that reprint entire posts from Gadgetopia — not just excerpts, they take the entire post and put it on their site.

That doesn't concern me so much, except that they never save the image to their site and change the HTML. They leave the HTML as it is, and since it contains an absolute URL in the IMG tag, they end up leeching my bandwidth.)

Preventing Data Corruption Due to User
Interface Bugs 07/24/2004 01:08 AM

There's a standard way of handling object updates via HTML forms. Generally speaking, when the user selects an object to edit, you populate an HTML form with all the data from the object, post all these fields when the user presses Submit, then update all the fields of the record with the data in the HTTP request.

So, if I'm going to edit an article, the HTML form contains all the article properties, and — even if I just change one — the SQL that results after I press Submit rewrites ALL the fields with what it receives in the request.

This has always made me just a little nervous because is assumes that the request is perfectly accurate — that it accurately represents what we want the object to become. But is this always the case?
