More of a silly little question and a warning to others, but recently I've seen a number of attempted "attacks" on my squeezepage. By that, I mean people typing in JavaScript injection codes into the name and e-mail boxes on the squeeze page, with malicious intent.

On one occasion (I'm using GetResponse by the way, which saved me getting absolutely hammered here) the hacker/loser/jerk attempted to insert a JavaScript popup onto the squeeze thanks page which would have had the potential to mess up any cookies set by the site, by editing them from the user-end as they viewed the page.

It's making me kinda paranoid as the most recent attempt (the one I mentioned above) could have caused serious damage had I not been using a 3rd party autoresponder company who handle all subscriptions via PHP post/get commands.

I'm guessing however that order forms could be a potential target for such malicious people and am looking for advice. I figured I'd come here as opposed to the WF. Even though the Copywriter's Board is primarily full of... copywriters, you guys don't all have your heads stuck up your... um... well. You know where.

I've been using script to ban specific IP addresses (it doesn't really ban, it just gives a die() message), and to ensure only scripts/code referrals on my domains get executed. Can't remember the script name, but if you Google around, I'm sure you'll find it.

Would it be "Firewall Script" by any chance? Just checked it out and seems to do the job I require. Also seems to be a fairly new kid on the block but has taken off quite rapidly thanks to some smart blog-promoting. :P

Hmmm. Maybe. I know it something to prevent hotlinking, or something like that.

I can check....
