Romanian Security Project: A Discussion Forum for IT Enthusiasts

If you really think about it, the Internet can be a very dangerous place. You have to be very cautious in regards to the sites you visit, the content you download and the information you send over the Web. For website owners, they have to be even more careful and make sure the latest security installations are in place. Security breaches are common and any experienced hacker can breach a website and gain access to sensitive information. The Romanian Security Project is a discussion forum where members can join in on discussions and pick up new information regarding the latest software, IT news and ethical hacking.

Due to the constant threat of hackers and security breaches, site owners are strongly advised to keep their security settings updated. Since most people don’t have the technical knowledge to perform their own security audits, they will have to bring in an IT technician to perform the maintenance and necessary upgrades.

For ecommerce websites especially, security is absolutely monumental as their database contains their clients’ private information, such as passwords, credit card numbers and transaction history. In order to ensure that their site is impenetrable, some site owners will test out their own site by attempting to hack into it themselves. For those with the technical knowledge, they may perform the test themselves. The RSP Forum provides some basic information for those who need some assistance on how this is done. For everyone else, however, they will need to hire a professional ethical hacker.

Ethical hacking is a professional service where an expert hacker will attempt to breach your website upon your request for the intent and purpose of identifying any vulnerable areas. If an ethical hacker can breach these points, then so can a real hacker with malicious intentions. By identifying any vulnerabilities, you can take the necessary steps to improve overall security and not make your site an easy target for those that may try to exploit it.

The RSP site also provides other great discussions on IT related topics. It is a great resource for programmers and aspiring IT technicians who want to hone their craft and learn a thing or two from other like-minded folks. Even beginner programmers may be able to pick up some useful information or can start a discussion in regards to an enquiry that someone else on the forum might be able to provide an answer for. This may include topics that a computer science major may deal with in an academic setting, such as Java, Linux and MySQL or tips on troubleshooting or virus removal for those who want to tackle the issue on their own rather than hiring an expert.

While there are various IT services available, those with a foundational knowledge may be able to handle most issues on their own with a little guidance. RSP is a community where members can help one another out by asking questions, responding to questions or just starting a random topic for the sake of a friendly discussion.
