1) What have you all done lately to prevent hacking in general

  We promote your software, and want to add as much info
  as possible, about your security precautions to allay
  fears people have of buying or using your software.

Form Variable Checking:

In early2002, we further increased the level of security on the 

variables. All variables are now run through a series of strong tests to
make sure they are valid. This updated code was created in co-operation
with CERTR Coordination Center, the center of Internet security
expertise, at the Software Engineering Institute.

 
Price Checking:

The "Add To Cart" function also validates the price of the product with
the price as listed on your web site files to make sure it's correct. If
not, it displays a warning and will not allow you to add the item to the
cart.

 

2) Do you have a web site which describes your anti-hacking
  and security improvements? What / where is it?
 
Encryption:  
 

QuikStore supports both SSL secure server transactions and PGP encrypted
email. It also comes with a built-in order encryption system. This can
be used on servers that don't offer PGP to their users.
 
http://www.quikstore.com/faq.shtml
 
We cover both ends. Both the post to the server from the order form, and
in the log files and store emails. 


3) Do you have an affiliate program for promoting your
  software? What is the link please?
 

We are building a new site that we hope to have it up within the next
couple of weeks. We will be adding an affiliate program at that time.
 
Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Rick Hoelle

Hello!

How secure is your software? How can i convince someone
that you're taking a pro-active role in curbing hacker 
activity?
How secure is your software in reality? 
How confident are your prospective customers in your
product? ie. Can you convince people your of your
software security integrity?

What have you all done to convince potential clients
that your software is secure? Is your software really?
How confident are your prospective customers? Do you
have a site that proves it, or at least convinces potential
clients?
Even Extropia has a cool Hacks site where people
can contribute and view what's going on! This impowers
people and gives them a sense of confidence in the product!

So Does IBM:

IBM Security issues discussed:
1) Known security issues
2) Considerations when developing macros
3) General Security Considerations 

Below i have a link to a site which lists site visits
today, specifically for searches made uniquely on Hacks
and Cracks for your Software(s).

This info was gathered by our Web site hit tracker
recording software. The list of visitors searches were 
extracted using grep / awk and sorted by software
search name. 
Note: duplicates have been extracted by UNIX uniq command. 
..... In reality, there was probably dozens of hits
..... searching for the same info! The original file
..... was 2MB in size.
