One of my clients told me today that his girlfriend was interested in starting a social site and he recommended Oxwall.   She had her friend (a computer geek) take a look at Oxwall to assist her an for security reasons.  From what i was told this guy knows how to test a site for weaknesses using what they call "canned" hacks.  

 

I dont know the details but my understanding is that "canned" hacks is a group of basic or sometimes advanced hacks that hackers use first to see if they can crack a site.

 

I was told that Oxwall passed with flying colors.  I ask if it was my clients site that was used for the test and i was told yes.   

 

Although this is great news for Oxwall i did caution my client that he is lucky this friend of hers did not succeed, if he had i would have reported him to law enforcement immediately.  Testing or not, unless it is on a test environment and not a live one, and specifically used for that purpose, it is a crime.

 

Anyway nice job Oxwall, you did good :)

The 8 most popular methods hackers use to hack/Attack websites are as follows:
SQL Injection/Cross Site Scripting, Broken Authentication and Session Management, Clickjacking, DNS Cache Poisoning, Social Engineering, Symlinking – An Insider Attack, Cross Site Request Forgery, Remote Code Execution and DDoS/Distributed Denial Of Service attacks.

SQL Injection/Cross Site Scripting being thee most popular method, I'd like to suggest a Firefox plugin for this vulnerability test: "SQL Inject Me" by Security Compass..

Please take into serious consideration this,, NO site is 100% safe!!
