IP spoofing is the attack used by hackers to steal a user’s IP address. IP spoofing involves spoofing a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection, since IP Addresses are passed within TCP packets. When two hosts want to establish a TCP session, they must synchronize their connection using a TCP mechanism called "3 way handshake". This mechanism is composed of three phases:
<?php
$base_url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
?>
In this tutorial we are going to setup a very simple PHP template class.
I don't want to bore you with all the information about why use a template class,
and stuff like that, I'm sure you already googled that, and thats why you're here, so lets get straight to it.
Well, I have been in a Dilemma about this for a while. After reading several posts on Singular vs Plural Database table names, I finally concluded that both have its advantages and disadvantages, and that everyone has their own opinion on this, and that the most important thing is that your naming conventions are consistent across the database since it would be annoying to remember which table names are plural and which are singular. I can therefore conclude that naming your database tables with Singular or Plural names is up to the developer. However, here are a few things to consider when choosing your naming convention:
A friend of mine logged into her account yesterday after 2 weeks of being off facebook, and was devastated to see that she had shared pornographic images with friends and family; I had a good laugh about it, but she was madd...

So there are several things you can do to protect your account from being hacked, we will go through each one of them in detail here, and how to implement each one.
Secure Socket Layer
In a perfect world, persons using the internet would be browsing websites without hackers being able to gain access to their information. However, this world is not perfect and internet users are vulnerable to attacks carried out by hackers; On the internet, and data you send can be seen and manipulated by others. The currently used solution for this problem is websites allowing their users to use Secure Connections to browse the internet.
This is a tutorial that demonstrates just how simple it is to get access to facebook accounts without the user's password or username. This tutorial demonstrates Session Hijacking (discussed here: http://www.cleverlogic.net/tutorials/session-hijacking-0). This is a simple attack done on an unsecured wifi network with the permission of all users on the network.
The aims of this tutorial are:
Session Hijacking is an attack by which a hacker exploits a valid computer session and gains access to a client’s session identifier. Since HTTP is a stateless protocol, when a user logs into a website, a session is created on that Web Server for that user, this session contains all this user's information being used by the server so the username and password is not needed at every page request. The server uses a unique identifier(Session Identifier) to authenticate this user to this session, this session identifier is passed between the web server and the user's computer at every request.
