Having already had to do with SQL injection, it is something very disturbing … GreenSQL is a free GPL licensed solution to protect your MySQL databases from attacks such as “SQL Injection”, “Cross-Site Scripting” and “Cross-Site Request Forgeries.”
GreenSQL works as a proxy for SQL queries on MySQL databases. Note: that it is expected to operate also on the PostgreSQL database using the roadmap. You can also find the post that talks with the title: GreenSQL for PostgreSQL
The operation is based on an evaluation of SQL commands using a risk scoring matrix (It reminds me that spamassassin) and the blocking of administrative commands (DROP, CREATE, etc.).
GreenSQL operates in reverse-proxy, ie, the SQL query will be forwarded to GreenSQL will analyze it and then pass it on to MySQL so it is accepted.
GreenSQL listening on port 3305 and redirect requests to port 3306, port standard of MySQL
GreenSQL can operate in different modes:
* Simulation (IDS database) – only detect but not blocking anything
* Protection (database IPS) – Detect and block queries
* Learning Mode
* Protection against non listed queries
In the simulation mode, GreenSQL log in to SQL queries and sends a notification via the administration console to analyze suspicious requests by checking the risk scoring matrix to inform administrators.
In Protection mode, if a request is considered illegal following questioning of its algorithmic engine, a white list is consulted. If it appears in the white list, then it is sent to the MySQL engine. But if the request is deemed unlawful, GreenSQL returns a null response set to the application on the Web server. Of course with this method, it is possible to have false-positive and false negative errors …
The learning mode is precisely to correct this problem by learning the types of possible queries, it will then switch back to protect against those queries who are not in SQL query list.
When the mode of protection against non listed queries is enabled, applications or queries that were not included in the white list are automatically rejected.
GreenSQL will then calculate the risk posed by this application and assemble the information to the management console. This is the fastest mode because it only calculate the risk for new requests.
That is basically the operation of GreenSQL, which I think really be a very interesting solution, although the best is still to predict risks in development, but regarding the performance of the web application, it does not appear as it impacted on a performance test performed with the use of GreenSQL.
Note: GreenSQL packages are provided for the most common Linux distributions (CentOS, Debian, Fedora, Mandriva, RHEL 5, 5 SLE, Opensuse, Ubuntu)

If you have an e-commerce website so it is obvious that you need extra security. If you do not have SSL on your website, then part of authentication for transaction by user name and password is not secure.
So if your site is not equipped with a SSL certificate, it means the login / pass CDM is clear over the network. What does this mean exactly? There are small programs to analyze the traffic passing over your network (wired or not) that can read the information in unencrypted packets.
Once your site is equipped with the certificate, it will display a small padlock in the web browser. (Customers of e-commerce, reassured to see the padlock, more likely to buy, which will be good for your CA)
Case in point:
On-site sales that accept money transfers via credit card, any card numbers are visible, you just have to listen! Someone might as well get the money to remove the card from a third party.
For a company using an intranet portal or any other site, it is advisable to encrypt the http connections for sending passwords (so that your competitors or employees are not tempted to copy a listing All access customers for resell or exploit!)
Practice:
There are two types of SSL certificates: the self-signed (free) and approved by authoritative bodies (paying)
The difference is that for a self signed SSL, the client may see a message saying that the site is not trusted and request a confirmation. However, the information will be encrypted.
For the second, you must prove your credentials (Name, Company, Address, Phone number,) to show your company or application is “white label”. Verisign or Comodo or GlobalSign are reputable SSL certificate provider. Your web host will install SSL for you so you need not worry about installation process.
The only downside is that you must be hosted on a dedicated IP! Why do you say? This allows to check if the NDD redirects well in the right IP and the right content.
Once your application is made it takes between 48-72 hours before it is analyzed below.
If you are accepted (99.99999% of cases) you will receive two certificates.
One of them is public and one private, but you will need to install both on the server.
The public will be shared with the visitor, the private should remain private (do not publish it anywhere!) And will remain on the server.
In Cpanel the installation is quite simple and just requires an upload of two files crt.
After this, I advise you to put the pages through https authentication and / or with rules mandating htacces.

Now the last thing you can know that how to set file permissions.
18. When installing scripts in your site, you may be asked to set file permissions. More often than not, it will be a file in your cgi-bin(not always, though).
19. When you locate the file for which you would like to set permissions, right-click it and select CHMOD.
20. You may either click on the check boxes manually, or simply enter the permission in the text box> enter the permission in manual box> click on “ok”
