There are very few absolutes in software development. One of these would be “NEVER trust user input”. You should never run a database query involving user input without validating, sanitizing, and parameterizing the user-provided values. If you neglect to handle user input correctly, specifically parameterizing the data, your application will be vulnerable to attack from nefarious […]

sudo apt-get install -y apache2
