The story you are about to read is absolutely true — so true that I
haven't even bothered to change any names to protect the innocent (we're
all guilty in this sordid little tale, so there are really no innocents to
protect). What you read may shock, enrage, and confuse you and — when I
get to the part about Barney — may even make you snort that
two-buck-a-bottle "soft drink" laced with St. John's wort, ginseng, and
taurine right out of your nose and onto your keyboard (a favor, really, if
you're using one of those annoying split keyboards). In any case, don't say
I didn't warn you.
If you've been around the Web long enough to remember the
introduction of forms and CGI, then you're probably already familiar with
the gist of the story I'm about to tell. But while you may be tempted to
write off the pages that follow as old hat, please don't. I'll be covering
an all-new threat to the Web development community, and whether you're a
grizzled veteran or wide-eyed newbie, odds are you're vulnerable to its
effects.
So listen up! In the pages that follow, I'll brush up on some things you
should know already, show you a few things you certainly never thought of
before, and give you some tips on how to protect yourself and your visitors
from the most recent in a long line of dastardly attempts to deprive you of
what's left of your already meager sleep.
Yes, you're going to learn about the latest threat to our Web sites:
cross-site scripting.
