Foiling Cross-Site Attacks

For the PHP developers who are interested in learning more about Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) or Cross-Site Request Forgeries (CSRF), I'm happy to announce that Foiling Cross-Site Attacks is now available for free from my Web site.

This article, originally published in the Oct 2003 issue of php|architect, describes both attacks as well as several best practices that can help you protect your applications. Thanks to php|architect for allowing me to make this information freely available.

Style Guide

Line breaks are converted to paragraphs. Also use:

  • <a href="" title="">text</a>1
  • <em>text</em>
  • <blockquote><p>text</p></blockquote>
  • <code>2  <?php  if ($foo) {      $foo = TRUE;  }  ?></code>
  1. Note: <code> can be used inline (e.g. in paragraphs) or in a block as shown. Include whitespace and newlines in blocks.

Please enter Chris (my first name) below. This is a primitive spam prevention technique, and I apologize for the inconvenience.
