    Hi, friends
    If you use some CMSs, I would like to recommend you to visit their original site for safe patches or fixes. They are more reliable. For tools, you could search 'website leak scanner' on google, there are so many tools for you. But they all need some basic knowledge on safe.

    Have a good day,

    It depends on what kind of site you've got. If your site is just a basic banner site and does not interact with the user, you don't have to worry too much about it. However sites that deal with payments need serious efforts to make them safe online.

    Thats a silly question since there are many variables involved, only advice I can give that would apply to all situations is to make sure whatever your running is always up2date

    Read PHP security blogs. But in most cases just care about 2 things: filter the input and escape the output.

    Nessus is a good tool to use for general server security. It can also perform a XSS check, using a web form that you supply- although it is pretty limited.

    Hi guys

    complex world where there is an exchange and sharing of information, data, important records, business transactions, selling and buying activities, and exchange of stories and thoughts. If you have a website, for sure you want to secure your website from hackers especially if it involves important financial or confidential information.

    Malicious attacks on government sites, bank websites, social network sites, your online store and even your online journal do exist and this indeed is a big headache for website owners and maintainers. Making your site secured and protected from these attacks, helps a lot in saving money and effort in making your website up and running again after an attack, and of course, it is important also to be trustworthy to your online customers.

    To help secure your website from hackers and make it your top priority, here are some few tips and suggestions on how you can make your site safe from hackers.

    * Make your passwords safe. This does not only mean keeping your passwords unknown to many people but also making sure you have a password that is not obvious and not easy to guess. Alphanumeric and long passwords are often recommended to secure your website. If there is a need to share a password to another person in the team, then you must make sure he is trustworthy.

    * Don't ignore anti-virus protection and make sure it is up-to-date. Make sure you are free from virus and other forms of malicious attacks that will allow hackers to take control of your system. Find a good anti-virus software that can help drive away hackers.

    * Fend off hacking by activating your firewall. Set your firewall properly so it can fully function in preventing hackers from accessing your files. Configure your firewall according to your protection needs.

    Thanks for all friends
