I am making a program with a very good HWID system, but so far it uses a standard WebClient control, I want to know how to make it more secure, like possibly encrypting the connection to a site (Uses PHP), or making sure the connection isnt being tampered with. are their any tools/pieces of code to do these checks/encryption?[code]...
View 1 RepliesDim wc As New System.Net.WebClientGamerTag.Replace(" ", "+")wc.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential(Email, Password, "http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/profile.aspx?GamerTag=" & GamerTag)Dim fx As New System.IO.StreamReader(wc.OpenRead("http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/profile.aspx?GamerTag=Dark Slipstream" & GamerTag))Dim str As String = fx.ReadToEndfx.Close()
The above code will open a webclient, set the credentials (possible error?), create a stream of the entire page, and then load it into a string (str).I then scan through and look for what is needed (Gamerscore, Motto, Bio, etc)-in this case.This doesn't work however, it doesn't sign in.
I have a program that logs into a secure site, looks on the user's home page to find a list of links to reports that can be downloaded and then selects each one - this is currently a manual process but with 100 reports a time it takes a while. The idea is that all the reports will download to a specified folder with generic names so the user can play with them on their own computer rather than having to search through them online.
Anyway, everything's gone well as far as using a WebBrowser to connect to the site, log in and get the list of URLs however it falls down when it tries to link to them. I have tried two methods:
1 - Navigating straight to the URL, this gives an error message every time (asking me to try again)
2 - Directly downloading the URL with a WebRequest class (below) however this doesn't download the actual file, but rather a copy of the login page.
Current Code:
Public Sub DownFile(ByVal sFile As String, ByVal sRemoteUrl As String)
Dim wr As HttpWebRequest
Dim ws As HttpWebResponse

having a modal window spawn for a secure asp.net site. I currently have a asp test site setup which when the user clicks on the login link it opens the standard asp.net login page (login.aspx) within a modal telerik RadWindow. I am calling this page using javascript and this works fine.
The challenge I have now is when a user clicks on a link within the page if that link points to a secure section the login screen loads in the main frame of the site vs. a pop-up. I realize why (aka my js funciton is not being called) my question is to work around this would the correct/acceptible approach be to call a method from each link/button that tests for user authenticaiton? If the user is authenticated then redirect to the page otherwise call the javascript funciton to open the window?
UPDATE: I have some progress to now at least determine if the user is validated. Since I am using forsm auth I can test this using ISAUthenticated
public void LinkButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Request.IsAuthenticated == false)

View 3 RepliesI need a bit of advice. I would like to store secure connection strings somewhere safe in vb.net. How can I build the secure connection strings in what situation and what would be the best?
As I have done the little research and found that the secure connection strings would be encrypted the strings and input the strings in app.config, so I would have to make a change in the app.config[code]...
I am developing an .net Winforms application and I need to secure the connection to the sql server 2008 database. I plan to create a webservice as a middle tier that will handle the authentication and that will provide data manipulation. Is there a better way to go with? Does .net have components or tools for that? What is the best technique?

I don't want my programs to be cracked. I have this simple authorization system that prompts my users to enter their forum credentials (I have a forum and the users must be registered members to use the programs).So I made a php script that will take in 3 strings sent in by my applications and it will check against the database if that user exists and is of the proper group and it will display a message on the page and my application then looks for the response in the page source which says if this particular user is allowed to use the program or not.
View 4 RepliesI have a VB.Net exe application that has a function in it that contains my encryption method that is used through out my application. This function is used to generate all my encrypted passwords and files etc. therefore for obvious reasons I do not want this to be visible to end users. In my application this is fine as it is compiled as a .exe. However I want to now create a ASP.Net web based version of my application.
Now here comes the question, if I was to create a web version of my application then this function would be visible to the end users along with a large number of other functions that if edited could bypass security and license control.I would like to know what is the best way to keep my ASP.Net webbased version secure from tampering, or is ASP.Net not the best for this?

Im trying to do this in a seperate thread so if they click another site while its still pinging them it doesn't wait before it switches site. This all seems to be workling fine except if you click through the sites quickly, when you do that it will eventually come up with
