Home: Perl Programming Help: Beginner: How secure are cgi scripts?

AlanBell Deleted Jan 8, 2000, 5:18 AM Post #1 of 4 (3282 views) How secure are cgi scripts? Can't Post How secure are cgi scripts that reside in a cgi-bin directory on a UNIX machine? I saw a program that removed line breaks to make it harder for others to view code. I understand how easy it is to view HTML code in a browser but I thought CGI's could not be viewed unless you had telnet access etc. Am I being naive? Alan

[In reply to] Can't Post CGI scripts can not be viewed from a web browser on a Unix machine if the server is configured properly and the permissions are set right on the cgi. The script you saw was to keep people from copying there work. Most people do not want to sort through a Perl script that is all on one line. Not that I agree with that type of thing but hey everyone has to have a hobbie Scott
