aspWebLinks Hack prevention

how to fix aspWEbLinks which already been hacked?

One of my clients website are using aspWebLinks 2.0 for the exchange link program. and i just got a report that someone can hack in to their link exchange site. Apparently how they do it its because there is a security hole in aspWeblinks script which make other people can use Remote SQL Injection to change the Admin Password.


For you guys who get hacked on your aspWebLinks code, you can use some prevention by checking the referrer site to that link.asp page. If the referrer site is not your domain, then just reject or redirect it to the other page.

If you are using asp , here’s some code to do that:

action=request(”action”)
ref=Request.ServerVariables(”HTTP_REFERER”)
If(action=”modifyconfigprocess”) and
(ref<>“theURLWhichCallYourmodifyprocess”) then
Response.Redirect “otherpages”
end if

RTA Engineering scholarships for rural and regional students

Twenty people in rural and regional NSW will have the chance of winning a scholarship fully funded by the RTA to study engineering at UTS next year.

Roads Minister Eric Roozendaal said the RTA had committed over $1 million dollars to the scholarships.

“These scholarships are about encouraging more young people to enter the engineering profession.

“They will also help to address the current shortage of civil engineers, which is particularly acute in regional areas.

“The scholarships, worth $50,000 each, will cover the full cost of a Bachelor of Engineering and Diploma in Engineering Practice at UTS.

“Scholarship holders will undertake their industry placements with the RTA and will be encouraged to do the work in a regional centre or rural area – in their home district if they choose,” Mr Roozendaal said.

The scholarships will be offered for two majors, Civil and Civil and Environmental.

UTS Dean of Engineering Professor Archie Johnston said the initiative had “in one go” significantly increased the number of cooperative scholarship places the Faculty of Engineering could offer for next year.

“UTS has a long-standing relationship with the RTA as an industry partner – the RTA and Railcorp NSW are the two biggest employers of UTS engineering graduates,” Professor Johnston said.

“The Authority should be congratulated for making such a positive decision in investing in engineering education – it addresses a skills shortage issue in a way that will deliver practical results for regional communities.”

PIN NUMBER REVERSAL - GOOD TO KNOW THIS

If any robber catches you and you are forced by the robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police so smartly by Entering your Pin Number in reverse. For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321. The ATM recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card youplaced in the machine. The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to help you.
