时间秒杀一切 提交于 2019-12-17 07:02:52
问题 Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of computer security vulnerability typically found in web applications which enable malicious attackers to inject client-side script into web pages viewed by other users. An exploited cross-site scripting vulnerability can be used by attackers to bypass access controls such as the same origin policy.

Hiding email from spambots without using javascript

纵饮孤独 提交于 2019-12-14 03:42:24
问题 I have a "contact us" form that uses Ajax (i.e. relies on asynchronous requests). In case the user has javascript disabled, I want to display a message, saying something like: You need to enable Javascript to use this contact form. If you can't, or don't know what Javascript is, then use your email and contact us at <the_email_address> . But of course, I want to hide the_email_address from spambots. Since this email address has to be displayed inside a <noscript> , it makes no sense to

Is it still worth obfuscating email-addresses to prevent harvesting?

问题 I was wondering, is it really worth the trouble to implement email-obfuscation techniques in order to prevent emails from being harvested these days? My initial thought is no but i might be wrong. My (possibly inaccurate) arguments: spam filtering and detection is superior these days (when looking at my gmail spambox over 90% of all mail i receive is spam but none ends up in my inbox). Is it safe to assume the same for most other email services? most techniques aren't 100% proof against

Combat spambots by hiding email address (display: none)

此生再无相见时 提交于 2019-12-13 02:44:29
问题 Is it possible to prevent spambots from crawling all over my email address if I set it display: none ? I had an idea for a little minigame if you will, where the user clicks the link for the email and it then displays one or two "are you sure you're not a bot" sort of questions. Once these have been answered, it then displayed the real link. The issue is I'm assuming that bots can see the link because it's obviously there in the HTML even if it's not visible. Is there a way around this? Also,

Looking for a very simple spam-prevention class/function for ASP Classic

好久不见. 提交于 2019-12-13 00:17:15
问题 I am looking for a very simple solution to prevent (or reduce) form spamming. I've got quite a few ASP classic applications that contain contact us/miscellaneous forms here and there that generate emails. Few of them have been caught by spam bots and are being abused. I need very simple solution(s) to reduce spam if not eliminate it. Audio/Visual CAPTCHAs are out of question as visitors will end up spending more time solving captchas than to use the form itself.

问题 I have C# form in the site and want to prevent spam bots from filling it. The trick is, that I want to avoid CAPTHA or any other user input to avoid loosing a single registration. Here are some techniques I have in my mind: Hidden input field (question: is this still effective?) Track time, since the first user input (focus on FirstName) till posting a form.. Humans will take more than 3 seconds to complete a form (even with auto-fill), where bots take a second or less to fill in registration

How to Code phpMailer to prevent sending email if hidden field is filled in contact form
