And properly (!) escaping output (this includes stuff that goes into SQL
queries). As I see it, these two simple measures should prevent 99% of
all security vulnerabilities. I'd be interested in learning about the
remaining 1% though.

Indeed. But I don't understand why this is so. After all, we're not
talking about the personal homepage of some newbie showing pictures of
his dog and favourite cookie recipes. The problem exists also (if not
especially) with real big professional sites, even sites where security
is paramount (online banking), run by people who should have more than
enough money to pay competent, security-aware programmers to do the job
properly. I just don't get it.

Of course, the worst about this new SQL injection attack is certainly
that ridiculous name "Lilupophilupop".

Greetings,
Thomas
