How They Hack Your Website: Overview of Common Techniques By John Conroy | Mar 5, 2008

We hear the same terms bandied about whenever a popular site gets hacked. You know… SQL Injection, cross site scripting, that kind of thing. But what do these things mean? Is hacking really as inaccessible as many of us imagine; a nefarious, impossibly technical twilight world forever beyond our ken?

Not really.

When you consider that you can go to Google right now and enter a search string which will return you thousands of usernames and passwords to websites, you realize that this dark science is really no mystery at all. You'll react similarly when you see just how simple a concept SQL Injection is, and how it can be automated with simple tools. Read on, to learn the basics of how sites and web content management systems are most often hacked, and what you can do to reduce the risk of it happening to you.

HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool

I had this problem with my USB flash memory stick: During a new install of WinXP Pro I deleted all partitions seen at WinXP partition manager which unfortunately included my USB Flash Drive which was still left plugged. When I plugg it in, message pops up that I should formate it. If I try to format the flash drive using WinXP I get the message "Windows was unable to complete the format".
I was looking for answers by visiting forums, sending mails to technical support, but nobody had a solution. I solved it by using HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool.
Its usefull piece of software and I think that everybody should have it in basic software collection.
