Security
May 20, 2010 - 2:51am
I was wondering how much work has gone into making the website secure? For example have you made sure to save the passwords in strong hashes like SHA-1 (instead of just storing them)? There are other things to watch out for, most prominently SQL-injection (if you are using an SQL database, which I think is the case) and Cross-scripting attacks? Also there are a good number of spam comments at the end of some comics, but there is no "report post" feature yet...

I thought this was a drupal install. Way to go with the layout btw, I recognized the menu design. But your right for security drupal is top notch. I had drupal for quite some time, before I decided to run out on my own for the layout.

They also hired a chump to delete suspected spam. They pay him $2 a year and let him post for free.
Why do you ask?
The site has had no security problems, its built with Drupal which has a solid security base. passwords are even encrypted beyond drupals core encryption. There is very good SQL-injection prevention with drupal.
There is a "report post" feature on every comment and post, "Flag as offensive". All registrations and comments are also checked against Mollom, which is a 3rd party spam service that i'm trying out.
Its impossible to stop all the spam comments, most of what has been getting through is not bot spam.
