May 8	comment	What precaustions should be taken when the file displayed by a webpage is specified by the GET value I'm open to any ideas so let's talk about the database. Are you saying to make a database so that when the value for GET is `abc` (i.e. `navigate.php?d=abc`) the database would map `abc` to `firstpage.html`? Or would it make more sense to have stored in the database a list of viewable pages and if the GET value (i.e. `firstpage.html`) isn't on the list the page is not displayed?

Apr 29	comment	Avoiding Brute Force Attacks in a Web Based Login Form I kind of don't get your reasoning. Why not have login for a particular username take longer and longer regardless of the requester's IP address?
