The PHP Kemist starts eCommerce web site design projects with a security strategy focused on success. Security preparation does not create your eCommerce cash flow, generate web traffic, or impress the world. It's truly just to prepare for success, which brings with it heavy traffic, high cash flow, and subsequently a lot of attention from hackers. When you are perceived as successful and wealthy, you are perceived as worth hacking.

Defining points of potential security vulnerabilities is a good defensive tactic. Knowing where weak points exist is necessary before PHP programmers can defend against security attacks. Revealing such weak points and determining security vulnerabilities requires a comprehensive understanding of PHP web programming, MySQL database programming, security programming, and a knowledge of the dark side… an insight into black hat hacking!

3 Hats of Hacking: Hackers are classified into three "hat" types, based on their intent. Adopted from the old black and white western movies, the color of the cowboys' hats defined their roles in the movie, good to bad.

White Hat Hackers (Cowboy Heros): True to the corporate and industrial enterprises, white hats uphold honor and all that Boy Scout code stuff.

Gray Hat Hackers (Bystanding Cowboys): Neither adhering to good nor bad ethics, gray hat hackers are investigative and curious, without benefiting nor hindering businesses.

Black Hat Hackers (Bad Cowboys): These are the bad guys you have to watch out for. Rogue felons looking to destroy and deface your business for profit or pleasure, black hats hack with disregard for authority, decency, and moral. If any security vulnerabilities exist in your defense system, black hats will find and monopolize on them.
