Re: Icy Phoenix 1.3.0.53a -  How Secure Is Icy?
-----------------------------------
[quote user="fucile" post="44544"]We are an open source project and plus we are a team that is devoid of his free time to design Icy and run it as simply and I think that sometimes claims of this kind leave things as they are and do not deserve sometimes and in some cases even reply.[/quote]
I totally disagree... every question asked kindly deserves to be read and possibly answered.

But answers must be on topics and possibly not misleading.

Icy Phoenix is an amatorial project... and this means that users cannot pretend the same level of security of professional softwares. Even if I'm doing my best to make Icy Phoenix secure, efficient and stable.

Plus every user should consider that Icy Phoenix is not stand alone... but it needs a webserver to run, and this means other products such as Linux, Apache, PHP, MySQL... this means that not only Icy Phoenix may be the problem if a site got hacked or defaced.

In [b]novice programmer[/b] post there are some good advice regarding what is beside Icy Phoenix... server configuration, wifi configuration, passwords and so on...

When talking about security, there are several important aspects to be considered, each one being as important as the previous one...

Again... please speak about this topic only if you are really confident about the matter.

[quote user="christmanrd" post="44545"]Sorry for my ignorance.  I was always taught if you do not know the answer to something, ask.[/quote]

Don't blame you... there is nothing wrong about your request. The answer is complex and I hate users being trivial when talking about this matter.

Best thing you can do is search the web for Icy Phoenix security issues... and report here if you have then specific questions.

Usually developers tries to hide securities issues, to not offer anyone "free lunch" on this important matter. So some good information can be found only through other resources, even if most of the time are outdated...
