Scripting/Programming

  • Do you have any banned scripts?
  • Can I use Formmail scripts?
  • How can I check whether a script available on the internet is 
    insecure?
    R:
    Using scripts in your account that are insecure (vunerabilities 
    unpatched) is very dangerous. Doing so runs the risk of 
    account suspension or exploit from a third party which can 
    cause total account comprimise, data loss or account 
    suspension/termination (if used by the person for warez, 
    spam, etc). 
    Therefore, it is extremely important that all scripts in use are 
    the latest version and secure. 
    A good way of determining whether a script is secure is to 
    type the script name into www.google.com along with the 
    word 'exploit' which will bring up any security topics 
    associated with the script that can be researched. For 
    example, a search on PHP-Nuke can be seen here.
