micmania1 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Is there anyway to stop them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cep Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Never heard of them personally but if your referring to mimics (copying down your html page and editing it to send different data to a web server) then its just good use of Validation on your Php script.

micmania1 Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 javascript injection is a for of hacking.For example type this into your url address bar, "javascript:alert('Hello World')".This can be used to change for values (form[0] etc) or stop media players and probably more which i dont know.Ive validated most of my forms so if they do try this, it will come up as an error but won't completely stop it.

Cep Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Yes your talking about mimics but Javascript injection is a bit pointless as it is purely client side, its only when your Javascript sends dangerous data back to an unvalidated server script (php) that hacking can take place.

Jessica Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 micmania, it's called Cross Site Scripting, or XSS. You can google that for more help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
