I work on building intelligent web applications to help people find and manage information.
I'm especially interested in information extraction and data mining, but I like working on the whole stack of a feature: from the analytics to the front-end.

Is stripping out < and > characters an effective way of preventing XSS? "if somehow you are placing user input into something inside a <script> tag, there are a whole myriad of things you need to worry about." Really? I haven't worried too much about this: I always encode the string using a JSON encoding library. Something like Python's json.dumps(user_input) should suffice for this, shouldn't it? (Assuming that user_input is a string.) |
