Securing ASP Apps
Are there some easy to use (and free) web scanning tools that can check
for security vulnerabilities (SQL injection, cross site attacks) on classic
ASP apps and suggest ways to fix them?

ASP Apps And Functions
Over my years developing ASP applications and writing asp code in general I have created a library of nice little apps and functions that I use over and over again.
I was "thinking" about maybey setting up a site with all my useful functions, subroutines, and possibly applications for people to download and hopefully donate some money if they use them. Perhaps even have some apps for sale only.
The apps will mainly be my useful plugin developments such as guestbook, gallery, login system etc. My question however is do you think it would be worth the time and effort? Do you find yourself using plugins a lot?
I defo think the functions could be handy but again how many of you search for functions to help you out or indeed how many of you currently use functions you have gotten from other people? Would you donate something if you used them?
Mayby some of you have already done something like this and can let me know how you got on?
Migrating Apps
My client has the need to upgrade to Windows 2000 Server from NT4 but are
concerned about whether there existing custom code (ASP,VB6,MTS, etc) will
work correctly once migrated.
Does anyone know where I might be able to find information relating to what
functionality has been deprecated in Windows 2000 Server since NT4 (I know
CDONTS is one of them).

Facebook Apps
Does anyone implemented/created any facebook applications using ASP? Is there any recommended url? It seems that asp is lagging behind for web2.0 apps... but i still love asp.
View Replies View RelatedUsing @@SPID In IIS Apps??
Is there a way to get unique @@SPID to database when programming solutions
for IIS in ASP.
When trying I realize that the actual client/user against MSSQL database is
IIS, not the currently logged on user.
So my question is, can I get a unique @@SPID for every "real" client using
my webapp. when creating connection against database?
Time Management Apps
Can anyone recommend project management, timeline and calendar apps I could
install on my own site? Hopefully ASP and SQL based. Most of my searches are
ending with expensive or limited options. Free is great of course! I need
something reasonably priced.
Server.Transfer Between 2 Different Web Apps
I have 2 seperate web applications A and B. During the execution of A, I want to do a Server.Transfer to a page in application B. This works fine if A has a reference to B, but without the reference, I get the following error:
Parser Error

It seems to be looking for B.dll in the path for application A, and can't find it. Because of the specifics of this project I am unable to set a reference, or even include a <codeBase> element in the config file. Is there any way to force the runtime to look in the path of the target application instead of the launching app?
Transferred .asp Apps To A New Server, Now All Bug...
First, I've got to apologise if I ask some stupid sounding questions, I'm not trained as a programmer and I'm trying to learn some basics with the help of kind people like yourselves on dev forums.
So, here's the deal. I just purchased a new subscription for shared .asp hosting on a new server. So, I uploaded all my .asp files etc to the new server, keeping the old structure.
You can see the site at www.hydra-breaks.net
The public side of the site runs fine, but I can no longer use any of the admin tools - mostly information submission forms. When I use *any* of the forms, I press "submit", then receive the error message:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator to inform of the time the error occurred and of anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
I don't have admin access as it's shared hosting, or access to the IIS... does anyone have some suggestions?
Log Analysis Components/Apps
Are there any free components out there that will analyse IIS log files and write selected information to a DB?
I know there are free packages like Analog and Webalizer, but I'm more interesting in an app or component that feeds log files in to a DB so that it can be queried later.
What's The Tool To Use To Deploy Web-based Apps?
What's a great tool to use to deploy n-tier web-based apps? I'm thinking in
terms of an installer that produces a package that a client can run that
will set up one or more IIS sites, copy files to an NTFS partition and set
permissions, create an application and install COM objects in Component
Services, attach (or script the creation and population of) a SQL Server
2000 database, etc.
I'm currently using ASP, IIS 5.0, SQL Server 2000 and VS 6.0 but am about to
take the plunge into .NET for new development. What are the tools that I
should be looking at?
Securing Files
How do I go about securing download files on my site so users can download those files only by clicking a link and not by typing the files address in the address bar. Is this even possible?...
View Replies View RelatedSecuring A Folder
I am wriging a web application which cosists of a main directory with all the main code, and a subdirectory with the administration features. althogh the two locations will share configuration resources, I need to protect the admin folder from unauthorised access. I know that in apache their is some kind of authentication (I think it is used through an ".htaccess" command or someting) and I'm wanting to do a similar thing in ASP.
View Replies View RelatedSecuring A Web Application
Developed a web application which adopts a custom security model which displays a login page and requests a username/password combination. The username works in a mixed-mode of usernames matched with the windows login name and some extra accounts (similar to SQL mixed-mode security). Web application is executed both in the corporate intranet and externally on the web.
Getting user complaints about having to login to the web application when they have already logged-on to windows. I have coded a challenge/response (response.status=401) to get a user's window login through the ServerVariables. This seems to work OK for the intranet access. If the user's windows account is not located in the application database then I redirect to the standard login page for the username/password combination. When the application is executed across the internet through a firewall, the user is prompted by IE to enter the windows domain, username, and password. There seems to be no mechanism to avoid this because of the challenge/response code. I wish that with external access from the internet that users are automatically directed to the application login screen and not faced with the IE windows authentication dialog.
Anyone care to offer a solution?
Securing System
I recently developed my first website and I hosted it on my pc.But when I try to access it from other computers, I am able to do that only when I turned the firewall off.Is there any possibility to access my website in internet on providing security to my system?
And one more problem is when ever I access any control on my webpage in internet, I am getting a dailogue box indicating that "connecting to mysite.dnsalias.com" and it is asking for userid and password.If any one knows please tell me why I'm getting the dailogue box and how to avoid getting it.
Securing Directory
I have a client who has a password protected page via session that lists a bunch of pdf's.They are a little worried that you are able to browse and see the pdf's via the url without being logged in.
I'm not sure if it's possible or not but is there a way after their username and passord is verified to automatically grant them permisson to view the contents of the pdf directory?
Securing A Page
How can I make my asp page secure so that I can sell it and not have people be able to view the code. I know one way to do this would be to make it a component, but I dont really know how to convert ASP into Visual Basic.
View Replies View RelatedSecuring Web Database
I have a website setup which has MS-Access DB. The web pages are in ASP and uses ADO to connect to DB. The DB is located in the Folder "/Database". I have the Connection string setup in the Global.asa file.
As my virtual Directory is "/" and all files and folders including the "Database" folder are with in the folder so any one who knows the Database
folder name and database name can directly download the database from the
website.
The physical Directory for the virtual directory is: -
d:mywebsite
d:mywebsitedatabase
d:mywebsiteDLLs
d:mywebsiteimages
d:mywebsiteinclude
d:mywebsitestylesheet
d:mywebsite emplate
How Can I restrict the database to be access directly from web? Please suggest all alternatives that I can opt for.
Securing A Password
I am using Dreamweaver with ASP VBSCRIPT and want to secure a password that the user puts in and sends to my sql server 2000 database. Can anyone give me any guidance how I could do this?
View Replies View RelatedSecuring Pages
tell me a way to programmatically with script at the server, reset the current user's security context from the IUSR_ account to a different one? what we'd do is anyone who is already logged in as a customer through our ASP page login setting customer-specific session variables.
we'd programmatically impersonate them as a different windows account,switching them from the anonymous IIS account they start off as. Bottom line is that we don't want them to have to login a 2nd time to get to these new pages. We've got other non-asp files that I cannot simply put behind an ASP-based login, which is why we need to lock the directory down behind Windows security.
Securing Text Files
I haven't started programming with databases yet, but instead have been saving data in asp files. The files would look something like this.... Code:
View Replies View RelatedSecuring Html Files
My client has purchased 'software' - it really is just a series of html documents. I need to ensure that these pages are protected and only those who log in can view them.
I am building an asp/db based login front end to ensure that users have paid for the system. I just do not know how to protect the files from there because they are html. Converting them to asp is not an option.
Securing User Data
How can I protect from SQL-injection in this instance?Code:
sql = "
SELECT dbo.admin.id, dbo.admin.email
FROM dbo.admin
WHERE dbo.admin.username = '"&Request.Form("user")&"'"
Securing The Database Access
I've learned how to basically access the database. Set ADOConn = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Connection")ADOConn.Open "myDataSource", "sa", "ItsASecret" But putting that code in each asp pages or putting it in the global.asa will be insecure. Since if the hacker gets the asp files or the global.asa files they will know the user id and password for the database. In this case, it's "sa" and "ItsASecret".
How can I do it so that they will never see this? I know of a way by using the Metabase.
if I'm not running my own IIS server to do that and that I'm just gonna rent a webspace what are their options? Will they let me change or add this in their metabase? If not, what's the term for securing it? How should I go about securing my database id and password?
Securing An Access Database
all my ASP sites use an Access database. Most are parts of our company intranet and i want to protect the databases from being opened but have it so that i can open the tables and make adjustments if needed.
I've tried adding a password to the database but of course that prevents it from being accessed via ASP. Just wondered if anyone had come across this problem and found a viable solution.
Securing Word Documents
I intend to send word documents thru mail to my clients. I don't want my clients to save the word document to there system and i don't want them to print the word documents. How can i achieve both the tasks ?

Looking for a way to secure string. Have connect.asp page as an include file, but want to still use dsn-less connection and not have this in an asp page. Though about putting this in the global.asa file. Don't want to create a DSN and give IUSR_ rights to SQL DB.
View Replies View RelatedSecuring ASP Pages After The Horse Has Bolted
I recently put together a site for a friend that needed a database to drive part of it. I tried and failed miserably at trying to learn ASP.NET & PHP so my friend sourced a web developer graduate who said he'd done a CMS for his final degree work. Great I thought, that takes care of the DB side of things.
On the back end, there are 4 web pages that deal with managing the database submissions:
1.) A login page
2.) A page to add a record to the database
3.) A page to delete a record from the database
4.) A page to update a record on the database
The login page has some sort of encryption within its ASP code but is not in protected directory so I guess it's probably subject to a brute force attack, but this I think my friend is prepared to live with as his site is so specialist and low-traffic. Code:
Securing A Database Driven Site
Firstly, apologies if this is the wrong section!
Ive created a site using ASP and an Access database. At the moment the database is unprotected, and I haven't used any usernames or passwords to access the database.
Now that development of the core site is almost complete, i want to secure the database.
