JTapp Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I don't know if you guys can help me with this or not... I just bought some script for my client via PayPal. It's a simple OptIn script for their newsletter. It allows them to manage it without going into MySQL. However, I usually buy USA - this is from St. Vincent & the Grenadines (see their websites below) I'm fairly new at all of this and most of the time I'm not sure what I'm looking at in the code. I'm wondering if I need to be worried about their compromising my client's data. The software was $37 and included four php files. http://islandlimited.net http://planenews.com PGP Key: http://keskydee.com/gil.asc Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/106028-just-bought-some-script-is-it-safe/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilis_money Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 If you buy it as commercial version. then consider it's safe. but if you are in doubt. you can review the codes piece by piece.

corbin Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 bilis_money, just because something wasn't free doesn't mean it's legit. I would probably glance through the PHP files and look for any outgoing data that doesn't go to PayPal.

Ge64 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I would probably glance through the PHP files and look for any outgoing data that doesn't go to PayPal. I think he means he bought the script using PayPal, not that the script does any money-related stuff...

garry Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Just scan it for any foreign I.P addresses or websites and if you can't find any then you should be fine.

micmania1 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I reccomend creating somewhere purposly built for testing the script, and post it in the BETA section asking people to find vulnrabilities.

JTapp Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Thanks for all of your insight. The script has an online demo if anybody wants to look at it. It is: Here is an online demo of what the end user would see: http://keskydee.com/demos/optin/optin.php Here is an online demo of the administrative piece: http://keskydee.com/demos/optin/admin/index.php Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/106028-just-bought-some-script-is-it-safe/#findComment-543606 Share on other sites More sharing options...
