Stop SQL Injection Attacks Before They
Stop You
09/12/2004 11:33 PMArmed with advanced server-side technologies like ASP.NET and powerful
database servers such as Microsoft® SQL Server™, developers are
able to create dynamic, data-driven Web sites with incredible ease.
But the power of ASP.NET and SQL can easily be used against you by
hackers mounting an all-too-common class of attack—the SQL injection
attack.
The basic idea behind a SQL injection attack is this: you create a
Web page that allows the user to enter text into a textbox that will
be used to execute a query against a database. A hacker enters a
malformed SQL statement into the textbox that changes the nature of
the query so that it can be used to break into, alter, or damage the
back-end database. How is this possible? Let me illustrate with an
example.

I can't fault Chechnyans fighting for their independence but I
don't understand how
they could justify killing of innocent children. Even if they
somehow succeeded,
what would they say to their own children about how they gained
their independence?
I used to have some sympathy for Chechnya, but their mindless
guerrilla warfare tactics have
eroded them away over the years.
Dell Madness
Dell Madness
08/28/2004 01:03 AM
Dell is driving me nuts.
I ordered Dell's 8400 desktop a week ago and it's schedule to be
shipped on 27th of
this month. I didn't want to spend that much so I got a
moderate CPU (3.2GHz
P4), so so storage (250G), non-gamer's video card (ATI X300SE), and
2G of speedy memory.
X300SE was intended to be just a placeholder for a better graphics
card later.
Audio card? Whatever came with the motherboard.
Just now I checked the price and found that I could get faster CPU
(3.4GHz), moderate
gamer's graphics card (ATI X800 SE), and top of the line audio card
(Audigy2?) for
the same price! I have bought countless computers before and
I have learned
to live with price drops. But seeing such drastic price drops
even before the
box ships is too much to bear.
So I cancelled the order and came over to my blog to vent some
frustration.
At this rate, I'll keep on cancelling my orders until there is
a severe component
shortage. If there are more people like me, I think companies
like Dell will
have to offer price adjustements at the time of shipment.
Heck, it's not the
money. It's the ol' feeling of getting shafted loyally in
real time.
Update:
I went ahead with the new order and got free 2nd shipping as well
which means it will
arrive about the same time as my previous order would have
arrived. Nice.
I am starting to understand a little more of how my wife feels when
she hounds local
mall clerks into making up differences whenever there is a
sale. I couldn't
believe it when I first heard of it. She buys something for X
and, if store
lowers the price to Y sometime later, then she somehow talk them
into coughing up
X-Y. What I don't understand is why US economy doesn't
collapse with shoppers
like her around.
Update 2:
Aha! I found the culprit behind the sudden price drop.
In
tel
cut the price of its CPUs by as much as 35% on August
23rd.Since
Dell had a fairly large number of customers waiting to
receive 8400 desktops,
I think many of them will cancel their orders to take advantage of
the price drop.

something he’ll have many chances to wear again. That seems
backward to me.

Madness In Gotham
01/27/2004 10:18 AMSince its earliest years, the stories of the Batman comics have been
intensely psychological. Over the years plotlines have explored the
motivations, drives and significant experiences of Batman, as well as
the major criminal characters who variously populate the halls of
Arkham Asylum and the streets of Gotham City. Batman is one of the
most successful and enduring of modern myths, read and watched by
millions. As a genre with the concept of mental illness at its core,
it is perhaps one of our most popular and enduring representations of
madness.

under the age of four. How that happened was all my bothers and
sisters decided pretty much at the same time to move back to Texas and
start breeding. Kind of like salmon. It made Christmas last year very
interesting. There were babies everywhere -- on the rug, in the
cupboards, swinging from the chandelier. Being the unmarried crazy
uncle sitting in the corner, I got to watch all this happen. I
discovered a few things about kids that I didn't know before.

09/27/2004 09:04 AM
Okay, it would seem we have a serious problem. I love
flash drives as much as the next guy (I use them when I need to, sure,
but only when necessary), but when one of our nation's most precious
resources - college football players - start shoplifting from
Wal-Marts just to feed their portable data addition, well... something
has to be done.
According to Durham County court records,
he is accused of stealing "an assortment of jump drives" -- portable
data storage units that plug into PCs -- Sept. 12 at Wal-Mart at New
Hope Commons in Durham. The computer equipment was valued at
$374.49.
We
need college football, and if these "jump drives" (known on
the street as 'flash,' 'hotplug,' and 'taking the D train') are going
to affect our young mens' ability to play ball, I say we ban them as
soon as possible before we wake up to a society plagued by thousands
of "pluggies."
Also, isn't calling this kid a punter a little over the top? He has
a disease; show a little respect. (Thanks, Joe!)
