Security for a web site.

What kind of website are you running? It is running on Unix, Linus, Microsoft, or Mactinosh? Are you using Apache software, Netscape, or IIS?
Each website has different approaches to security, but generally, the webserver 'serves' the documents you have in a specified directory (or set of folders). You need to secure those files, as well as files that run in the webserver's root directory (where the software that drives the webserver is kept)
The webserver software does have logs that you can usually have the IP resolved to the name of the machine that is visiting you.
Scripting language depends on the platform... cgi/perl, javascript, applets, xhtml, asp pages, jsp pages, etc.
Sorry to be so vague, but I didn't know how else to answer without having specifics about your system.
Can't give you sample code without knowing more. If you want to email me, I'll try to help more.
Good Luck!!

Regardless of what platform you are using you can enhance whatever security you do have with Tripwire 2.2.1 software. It is a data integrity tool that makes sure that your files have not been compromised. Any changes to your html files or even your OS critical system files are reported and you can take steps to recover. Granted I work for the company but I come from a sys admin background and this is a very strong product. Check out www.tripwire.com.

As I`m mainly php programmer, I would suggest you to learn php and mysql to do the trick. If you want it really secure, then You should use SSL as well. But if you won?t be doing transactions on Your site, it should be enough to use php sessions (built-in or self-made) + cookies, this way it should be secure enough.

With php, IP address can be displayed by typing echo $REMOTE_ADDR.

What conserns the sample code, then this would be too long and it would take too long time right now. But ifyou don?t want to learn things yourself, then I could make you one fine thing for a minimal fee, but that`s already business for private chat. If interested, my email is itpunk@itpunk.com

1. Look for white papers and checklists on your OS & Web Server Vendor's websites. Microsoft in particular has some excellent documentation on TechNet.
2. The easiest way is to just look at your firewall logs.
3. Depends on your platform. Perl seems to be the most widely used (and most highly recommended).
