Question by anomyn92:
Someone hacked a website that I made, and I am wondering how to block that. (more details below)?
I created a website as a part of a week-long game we played in one of my classes. Someone in my class told me later that week that they had hacked my website, but felt bad about it and changed it back. (other people in my class confirmed seeing the edit) They had changed some of the text on the page. They would not tell me how they did it, but they stated that they used javascript. I have been reasearching online, and I think that they used either XSS (cross-site scripting) or script insertion (probably the later of the two), but I do not comprehend it. I get the general concept of code insertion, but I do not comprehend how they get the URL to direct the user to the altered html instead of the regular html. (for reference purposes, I used google page creator) So my question is, how did they hack it, and how do I counter it? I thought that since I used a google product, my site would be secure (as opposed to using my home computer).

Q&A: I NEED A SCRIPT THAT CAN VERIFY IF A LINK IS ON A CERTAIN PAGE. PLEASE READ ALL DETAILS BEFORE ANSWERING, THX!

Question by iswd1:
I need a script that can verify if a link is on a certain page. Please read all details before answering, Thx!
Here is the deal:
1) Visitor comes to my link site and chooses a category where he/she thought they submitted a link to, but doesn’t bother checking if it is on that page.
2) The person decides they want to update their link with new information and click on the UPDATE YOUR LINK button on the top of the page.
3) They enter in the URL of the link they want to edit.
4) *Here is where I need the cgi or perl, or javascript code) The form they entered the url into checks ONLY the page they are currently on to see if the link is there. If YES, it grants them to edit the link, showing them a form that is pre-filled with the data from the url they entered. (url name, description…) and they can submit the changes to me.
If NO, it tells them that their link is NOT on this page, and please go to the correct page to update the ad.
If you know of a script like this, PLEASE let me know asap, email me if you have to, but I need this asap. Thank you in advance!
