AppDynamics PHP blog has posted the second part of their series looking at some of the basics of PHP security. In part one they talked about some of the most common attacks and how to remediate them. In this latest part they "dive deeper" and get into some of the more advanced issues.

Truth be told, there are potentially an infinite number of ways in which a software product can be compromised and have its security breached. [...] New security flaws are regularly found, and routine patches are immediately released for most of the major software applications you utilize in your application stack.
