Hi All,
Just had a query from a potential client who has been let down by his
contracting company.
Its a database driven site, with php sessions involved.
Ive been asked to list a series of requirements to be given to a
solicitor forcing the contractor to hand over information.
-----
Heres my list:
A list of all users & their passwords allowing access to the hosting
server.
(can we ask of the hosting if this list tallys with their registered
users?)
A list of all users & their passwords allowing access to the database.
A list of any connecting databases ie on a JOIN.
A copy of all source code ( cant we just access ourselves, not not
necessary? maybe is if they decide to delete their work on handing over
the passwords? )
A database dump of all tables & all other databases
Passwords to any mail accounts plus all aliases
???
----
Presumably, once this information is released there is no real security
any more? So, the first job would be to remove users and create anew.
Any thoughts helpful
rgds
Alex
