How To Stop Spammers Using Your Feedback Form

Comments Off on How To Stop Spammers Using Your Feedback Form Posted by on 23/01/2010

Not securing your feedback form can leave it open to spammers possibly allowing them to send junk mail to anyone with it appearing to have originated from you. This could in the worst case scenario see your domain blacklisted by many mail servers.

The Solution

Luckily there are a few things you can do to make your feedback form a lot harder to exploit. The main technique spammers use is to try and insert bcc: headers into the feedback form. Say for example you have a feedback form with a message and an email field, this is passed to a PHP script without any validation which does something similar to the following:

   mail('you@yourdomain.com', 'Feedback', $_POST['message'], 'From: '.$_POST['email']);

If the spammer can send “fake@address.com%0ABcc:recipient1@domain.com,recipient2@domain.com” in the email address field on your form then whatever they type in the message box will not only be sent to you but to all those listed recipients aswell. What if 100’s or 1000’s of bcc: recipients are listed?

A few extra lines of code and this problem can be solved eliminating the majority of attacks on your forms. The following simply removes all occurances of bcc:, cc:, to: or content-type: headers so that the content of the form can only be submitted to you and not to anyone else.

 $find = array("/bcc\:/i","/Content\-Type\:/i","/cc\:/i","/to\:/i");
   $message = preg_replace($find, '', $_POST['message']);
   $email = preg_replace($find, '', $_POST['email']);
   mail('you@yourdomain.com', 'Feedback', $message, 'From: '.$email);

IP Addresses

You may also wish to capture the ip address of the person sending the form.

$ip = $_SERVER['X_FORWARDED_FOR'] ? $_SERVER['X_FORWARDED_FOR'] : $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
   mail('you@yourdomain.com', 'Feedback', $message, 'From: '.$email."\nX-From-IP:".$ip);

This could be used in creating your own ‘blacklist’ once you know the ip address of any offenders. The message can then only be sent if its not in your banned ip list:

 $ip = $_SERVER['X_FORWARDED_FOR'] ? $_SERVER['X_FORWARDED_FOR'] : $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
   $banned_ip = array('195.99.99.99','137.11.11.11');
   if(!in_array($ip,$banned_ip)) {
      mail('you@yourdomain.com', 'Feedback', $message, 'From: '.$email."\nX-From-IP:".$ip);
   }

Grameenphone P5/P6 internet package, use efficiently

Comments Off on Grameenphone P5/P6 internet package, use efficiently Posted by on 15/12/2009

Grameenphone P5/P6 packages are data limited packages, taking the most out of them should be a priority.

To efficiently use your data quota, you should follow few things:

1. Use firefox browser with adblocker plus extension.Ads use lots of bandwidth, so using adblocker saves your bandwidth.
2. Don’t use torrent clients.Torrents uses both uploading and downloading, so while downloading a 20MB file with torrent, you may end up using 30MB or more of your data quota.
3. Use pidgin messenger instead of official yahoo/msn messenger.Official yahoo/msn messengers shows lots of ads which eats up your data quota, so using pidgin for chat will save your pocket.
4.Update softwares using update packs.Many softwares provide a smaller upgrader package when new versions are available. Download and use it instead of full package.
5. Turn off showing images on web pages when you only need text information. This will save you most bandwidth in the long run.

ICCR & My Scholarship

Comments Off on ICCR & My Scholarship Posted by on 10/10/2009

https://i0.wp.com/www.iccrindia.org/images/topbar4_1.gif

The Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) was founded on 9th April 1950 by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the first Education Minister of independent India. Since then we have seen in India the consolidation of Indian democracy, the establishment of an equitable social order, the rapid development of the Indian economy, the empowerment of Indian women, the creation of a vibrant infrastructure of world-class educational institutions, and the powerful revitalization of scientific traditions.
There has also been a revival, reiteration and renewal of the five-millennia old Indian culture, exemplified by the energetic projection, development and experimentation in Indian arts, the confident and creative expansion of Indian languages, and the great energy in Indian cinema. ICCR, in harmony with these developments, is in unison with contemporary India.The last five decades have been one of the most exciting periods in the arts in India’s long history. Indian literature, music and dance,
Indian paintings, sculpture and crafts, as well as Indian theatre and films, has each witnessed great outbursts of creativity. ICCR continues to encourage improvisation and experimentation with the new, while it pays homage to the classical as well as the folk forms of India’s cultural expression. Read more of this post

  • TODAY I WILL BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT I SAY – I will carefully choose and guard my words being certain that I do not spread gossip.
  • TODAY I WILL GO THE EXTRA MILE – I will find ways to help share the burden of another person.
  • TODAY I WILL FORGIVE – I will forgive any hurts or injuries that come my way.
  • TODAY I WILL DO SOMETHING NICE FOR SOMEONE, BUT I WILL NOT DO IT SECRETLY – I will reach out anonymously and bless the life of another.
  • TODAY I WILL TREAT OTHERS THE WAY I WISH TO BE TREATED – I will practice the golden rule Do unto others as I would have them do unto me with everyone I encounter.
  • TODAY I WILL RAISE THE SPIRITS OF SOMEONE I DISCOURAGED – My smile, my words, my expression of support, can make the difference to someone who is wrestling life.
  • TODAY I WILL NUTURE MY BODY – I will eat less; I will eat only healthy foods. I will thank God for my body.
  • TODAY I WILL GROW SPIRITUALLUY – I will spend a little more time in prayer today: I will begin reading something spiritual or inspirational today; I will find a quiet place (at some point during the day)!

Can u take 10 seconds away from ur busy schedule?

Comments Off on Can u take 10 seconds away from ur busy schedule? Posted by on 03/10/2009

Here is a chance to make a difference, by devoting JUST 10 seconds a day.
You don’t need to go anywhere, donate money, stage protests or shout slogans.
How? If you use computer to work, just remember to switch off your monitor every time you leave your desk. Very simple, isn’t it?
What difference does it make? Roughly, normal monitors consume around 150 W.
Even if your screen remains ON for 1 hour per day without any use, energy wasted per day is 150 W-h (or 0.15 ‘units’).
This is enough to light a small lamp for 10 hours! If you care to switch off your monitor each time you leave your place, you save electricity enough for basic household needs of a small family in a village!
If your monitor remains ON overnight, this figure becomes 10-fold ,so you can probably save electricity for 10 families.
And supposing that you leave your seat 5 times a day and it takes 1 second to switch the monitor ON/OFF,
you spend only 10 seconds a day for this deed which saves LOTS of energy on a long run!
I hope you will follow this practice…
Energy saved is energy produced !!

Welcome to My Blog

Comments Off on Welcome to My Blog Posted by on 01/10/2009

Hello, and welcome to my blog! I’m not sure exactly what I’ll be writing about, but with the project I’ve been working on for the past 7 months recently announced, I felt compelled to finally start one. Of course, it has taken me almost a week to get my blog up and running – more on that in future blog entries…

I joined Macromedia around 9 months ago, and run the recently announced project code-named “Zorn” with Sho Kuwamoto. My prime motivation for joining Macromedia was that I saw incredible things being done in Flash that just blew me away, but every time I picked it up, my eyes would glaze over. Within this dichotomy I saw a tremendous opportunity to help make building these rich internet apps easier for people like me.

So Zorn is the new development tool that we’re building to make it easier to build apps that run on the Flash Platform. Zorn is built on Eclipse and I think will help make Flash more approachable for developers. I’ve got to say that as I typed that last sentence, I almost had to laugh. Developers, especially really good ones, are usually the type of people who don’t need things to be made more approachable – their whole reason for being is to figure out the hard stuff! Yet it’s amazing how many great developers I’ve met who can’t figure out how to do anything in Flash and just give up. The problem is that the Flash model, while very intuitive for animators and designers, is just completely foreign to experienced developers. Timelines? Movieclips? Layers with code? Huh? I’ll be talking more about how we will address these issues in the months ahead. Read more of this post
