How can i make a website secure

[sarinpankaj]

today there are N number of threats to a hosted website. I am not pretty sure how can one make the website safe from the hackers. Is it through firewall or some secure scripts or what more can be done to make it more safer

This was same question i faced when i started web designing. I don't do too much professional work , it's just my hobby. But the question stands.
well there are hackers who have knowledge far ahead of yours, and a hackers weapon is knowledge, and the best defense against them is also knowledge.
For securing my sites i first learnt meathods of a hacker, it took me 2 years to get to a level where i can destroy site and scripts, well now i know how they do it so now i know how to protect my site form them....

No software can provide you as much protection as your knowledge can....

As one of my seniour use to say...
Don't learn to hack, hack to learn!

We can make a secure Website in which unauthorized or unauthenticated user can not access the pages of site. Mean if any user wants to visit the any page by passing the URL of that page without Login then he/she should not be allowed to do this.

Security is to protect the pages of the any application to access by the unauthorized or unauthenticated user.

Types of Security offered are:
1.Window Based Security
2.Form Based Security
3.Encrypting Data over the Network
4.Passport Security

Window Based Security

It's the default security. It uses the window authentication mode.

Form Based Security

In this we secure the individual pages for the unauthorized access. In which we use authorization and authentication mode.

Encrypted Data over the Network

In this we can store our important data in the form of the encrypted data over the network.

truth is, a hacker will get in even with top notch security. didn't walmarts site get hacked and a line of code with a virus was added to their front page a few months ago? I suggest like lihen said to start to learn the hacking ways, as you will know how they get in etc. It is also best not to tick off hacker communities (not pretty)

Double check all scripts for loop holes and install a SSL certificate to make connection to 256 BIT encrypted. Now a says you can get SSL cert for very less price even free becuase namecheap.com giving free ssl cert with domain name reg.

I agree with Lihen mate.Hackers are way knowledgeable than us.They are uncontrollable and unpredictable.If you block a way they will find another loophole to enter the system and there is no end for this unless you think what they think.Better learn how to hack first...lolz

All of above are right. I agree with all so you have to make your site based on user preferences and authorities and based on that you have to choose the security types on your site and every time you have to aware with new concepts of knowledge.

Choose one of the best hosting company first . Maintian your website with different security programms . Search for the various methods of protections in various search engines .
