Carl-
Thanks for your patience! The fact that I did not mention it goes to show
you what a newbie I am...
I am writing a web application, where the customers log in with a user name
and password. The customers are regular people doing their regular job; no
military; no banking. I am only trying to protect the customers' legal
privacy. I do not aspire to beat CIA or NSA!
I would like to prevent (if possible) hackers from viewing the source,
finding the INPUT field names, and writing a script that honors me with a
few hundred thousand gratuitous login posts per minute.
I could store their IP address in advance... with a random string... and
write the string in a picture with some weird colors and fancy fonts... and
show them the picture... and use a turing test so as to prove their eyeballs
are human... and and start to block out their IP addresses... but why should
I go into all this trouble? It would be so much simpler if they just did not
know the variables for user name and password! I want PHP to ECHO a string
so that the browser works normally, and the user experiences a normal web
page. But when they view the source, it is useless to them.
Any other ideas that solve this problem are appreciated!
Thanks again,
Larry Kavounas
