Useful Tips That Can Avoid Hacking of Sites

Here I am presenting some of useful tips which can help webmasters to avoid hacking of their sites.

Tips that can avoid hacking of sites:

• Only use reputable, up to date, scripts.
• Set all your passwords to something very difficult to guess. This includes control panel passwords and paswords to an admin areas of your scripts. a good example would be somethin like ~th15*p455w0rd*15*n0t*345y*t0*gu355~
• Research your scripts before installing them. There are alot of insecure scripts that can leave you vunerable.
• Use a host that has some sort of brute force protection installed on the server.
• Make sure your host also has a firewall installed on the server.
• Use common sense.
• Make sure if you are using php, when you have get commands always have the program check if the get command is a real one that you have assigned.
• Make sure you are not vulnerable to SQL injection or cross site scripting.
• Follow what's going on in the world as regards security.
• Keep your software/scripts up-to-date.
  

Thanks for the tips.

But I am not afraid of hacking. Because I don't have any big sites.
So tension free because no money to loose.

The same thing with me tho. I am afraid of getting hacked, but it's not like I have my own host that I pay for or anything like that. I use free sites, like blogger, and now that I can't log in, I lost my blog, so what? It's not that big deal to me.

But be careful in future. The tips are for webmasters to protect their sites. The days, lot of sites are hacking daily and the number increasing. Many of the sites are hacked due to the mishandling of security measures or holes in security.

No one can't give you 100% hack free platform. Normally the chance of hacking is increased for week passwords. Servers with high quality firewall and platforms like Linux or Unix also minimize the chance of hacking. Careless use of script is another source for hacking.
