Author

This class can block accesses attempting to perform cross-site scripting attacks.

It can look at a given request variable value and detect character sequences that can be used in cross-site scripting attacks.

If an eventual attack is detected, the class can add a record to a MySQL database table to mark the current access IP address to be blocked in future accesses.

Cross-site scripting attacks can be dangerous to a site, as they can be used to steal cookies of users accessing a site and eventually allow a malicious person to access the site as if he was one of the other users.

This class can be used to prevent causing greater damage to a site by detecting eventual attempts to perform cross-site scripting attacks and blocking the accesses of computers that were used to perform such kind of attack attempts.
