Surfing the Internet we can find thousands of different Websites from Commercial, Personal, Educational, and Entertainment Websites to News Websites just to mention some of them. The importance of implementing a secure line between the vendor and the client is very important, when handling delicate information such as credit card numbers when making a purchase or just by logging in our bank account on-line. Security measures need to be in place in the vendor site in order to protect our interests. Many Websites do not implement enough security procedures and people like Hackers who take advantage of these vulnerabilities by using what is called, SQL Injection. SQL Injection is an attack where the hacker uses code such as Structured Query Language. Basically, this sort of code injection the Hackers uses is a common exploit code in order to be executed on another computer. But, first the attackers makes sure that the Website he/she intents to attack in vulnerable to SQL Injection, then the attacker initiates the injection of SQL Query commands through an input form field such as the login of an account. In consequence, this allows the attacker to handle the database and even allowing him to execute and SQL command he/she wishes. One of technologies that is vulnerable against this type of attack are dynamic scrip languages such as ASP.NET 3.5 which is a very popular framework to create Website and the one we are currently using. In the article, “Preventing SQL Injection in ASP.NET” including version 3.5. In this article the author gives us a description of what a SQL Injection is and explains how the process works. The author then goes more in detail letting us know how to prevent us from being a target of this type of attack when cr...

...vent the attack.

In conclusion, I found this article being very detailed and illustrative, since the author provided us with example code that we could use to improved our Website vulnerabilities. As a beginner Web developer using ASP.NET 3.5 platform I believe that it is important to know security measures that can be applied to a Website and allowed the content from being violated from an outside attack source. After reading this article, it has giving me a sense to protect my work when building Websites using ASP.NET 3.5. I would use functions introduced in the article to prevent code injection such as the add() methods. Finally, in my opinion, the objective of this article to educate the user to construct a more secure website has been very helpful. This article has taught me a new way to implement security procedures in my current and future Websites.

    It has become a sad and upsetting fact that in today’s society the truth is that the right to one’s privacy in the I.T (information technological) world has become, simply a joke. In an electronic media article “No place to hide”, written by James Norman, two interesting and debatable questions were raised: ‘Are we witnessing the erosion of the demarcation of public and private spaces brought on by the networked economy and new technology?’ Also, ‘What roles do government, industry and citizens have in regard to censorship and privacy?’ These statements ultimately end with the fact that it is impossible for Net users to expect privacy online, because online privacy doesn’t exist. However, one must ask, ‘What will be done about the problem?’ while keeping in mind that yes, the thin line between public and private spaces has been severed as a result of new technology. It is vital that everyone as users of the internet, be it government, Internet Service Providers (ISP’s), or individuals, need take the issue of internet privacy very seriously, while basing all actions towards the issue with the moral statement of, ‘Rights aren’t free, they’re earned’.

  • The Internet and Cybercrime

    1789 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Internet is a connection of computers across the world through a network. Its origin dates back to the 1960s when the U.S Military used it for research, but it became more available to the public from the late 1980s. The World Wide Web was created in 1989 and browsers began appearing in the early 1990s. Over the last 24 years, the Internet has enabled people to shop, play, do research, communicate and conduct business online. It has also become cheaper and faster in performing different tasks. As much as the Internet has done immeasurable good to society, it has also dominated people’s lives and brought with it an array of cybercrimes. According to Nicholas Carr in his book The Shallows: How the Internet is Changing the Way we Think, Read and Remember (Carr, 2010). He debates on whether the Internet has done more harm than good. People use the Internet daily to exchange accurate information and constantly personal data such as credit cards, passwords and Social Security numbers are travelling through the network from one computer to another. With security measures put in place on the Internet, personal information remains confidential. But unfortunately, criminals have adapted to innovations in technology, and today, more people are increasingly becoming victims of cybercrime. The Internet has had profound effects on the public, both positive and negative. In this paper we will examine how access to personal information has led to an increase in online and offline crimes. The essay will particularly focus on ecommerce and hacking.
