Securing a PHP Content Management System

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 21.2006

Hello, i have written a PHP content management system, but i am not that great with security. Im just looking for links to articles, documentation or suggestions to help secure my system.

I realize that this is a vague question becuase there are many ways a hacker can attack a site, but Im just looking for some starting advice or standard ways to handle things. My cms has things like user authentication, forum, comments, etc.

thanks for any help.

@SheldonJun 22.2006 — You need to proctect againt PHP injections, make sure the login script is secrue. A good way is to store md5'd passwords in the DB and make sure that they are over say 6 charactors. There has been many threads on that too.

Just make your input section clean, depands on how much you want the client to do.
