Hi,

I have a website hosted on MS IIS.

It has a news section fed by a database to allow the owners of the site the
ability to update the news pages themslves.

Last week a message was added by an Iranian hacker (see the end of this
post.)

What I don't understand is how they were able to do this.

The code checks for the existance of a session variable before alowing the
page to be displayed, so how could they create this variable?

Also, (from the log file,) they jumped right into the update page, not the
form where the message is created!

Any opinion would be greafully received, especially if a solution can be
suggested!!

Best reagrds

What about presenting the relevant code and the log entries?
