So you think you have a safe website? You might have to think again. After a single day attending a class in hacking, even I, a coding nincompoop, can do some pretty snappy digital delving into the unintentional back doors and unguarded gateways of a website.

Thanks to Extreme Hacking - a class offered by consultants Ernst & Young in the basics of cracking websites and in how to act as maliciously as possible once you get in - I learned about common hacking tools, the technicalities of how various attacks work and how to protect against them.
