Anti-XSS Library for Security and Prevention of Hackers

I just attended the online event, Security Sidebars and Hacker Tricks! (Level 200). Mike Benkovich of BenkoTips fame, shared with us how hackers can send an email taking a user to your site, but instead, the link inserts an iframe into your page that takes the user to their site instead, where they get the user's credit card info, etc. He also showed many other hacker tricks, including changing the price of an item on your shopping cart page, so they can purchase mass quantities of an item at $1, that should cost $300.

He shared information about the Microsoft Anti-Cross Site Scripting Library, and how to use it to thwart these hackers and make your site more secure.

I can't wait to watch this event again, as I was constantly interrupted by phone calls and only got bits and pieces. But one thing I did learn during the time I was able to watch it is, every asp.net developer needs to see this webcast and incorporate the Anti-Cross Site Scripting Library into their code.

May your dreams be in ASP.NET!
