Need some help. (Website & PHP)
« on: October 18, 2013, 10:44:04 PM »
I was wondering how would I stop things like...

Code: [Select]
?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42A PHP Easter egg.

and...

Code: [Select]
?=;"A strange blank page that has the forums theme.

from bringing up pages that I do not want my users to see.


I have recently installed this... http://www.php-firewall.info/ ( not even sure if its working... ). But it has not fixed what I wanted it to fix.


...and yes I am very new to this whole thing.

Take a step back: why does it matter? If users are hand-crafting URLs, of course they'll get odd results.

Megiddo, because each version of PHP has it's own egg, and, each version has it's own set of potential vulnerabilities.
It's a limited method of determining PHP version, which then could lead to more specific attack vectors.

Using google, 'disable PHP easter egg', I found this nice article explaining some of it, including some solutions.
