My site is blocked the security team of my provider thinks that the input field are not secure to there findings
So I agree with garybaldy
I'd be much better at it than some of these so called "Professional" IT guys.... :bash:
You would expect that they can read a script or test a app, but less is true.

Maybe they did and came to that conclusion? If you really think that you are better at it: rent a server or colocation space and do it yourself. And please post it here when you're hacked.

Input fields at a website and processing what's filled in is not something that is easy; there are so many ways to hack things. I think you'd only know 10% as a max of them.

They were hacked!

It was in the scheduled tasks in your management account (which I do not use), not in the website itself.

Then rent a windows server off campus with a remote access program into the server, run RadioDJ there, do all your admin thru the remote access, i.e. TeamViewer, and get it done. If your university and your department doesn't have any leverage against the cyber security retards, then what are you even doing working there?

This is not as feasible as it may seem. Windows servers are not cheap... we have a very limited financial budget for the radio station thanks to the university administration poorly mis-managing their budget and now passing the consequences onto everyone else like the elite corporate douches they are (and to be fair, pretty much any other administration would also do). In addition, we used to use TeamViewer, but they know we run on a University network, and their program only allows 1-minute remote connections before intercepting and telling us to buy a license (I kid you not). And TeamViewer licenses are also not cheap.
