belize has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Is there a proper procedure to check a freeware/shareware/commercial script for level of security?
We have a customer that needs a message system similar to infopop's Ultimate Bulletin Board, but needs to be sure that it is secure and that they can control who can post and READ the postings with a basic level of confidence (knowing that most computers linked to the Internet can be hacked).
Also, I was under the impression that a secure server (SSL) only secures data while transferring, and does not really effect the security of files on the server. Is that a correct assumption?
