I just did a quick check with LogValidator on the pages at this site for Refactoring HTML. Besides telling you where the markup is screwed up, LogValidator also figures out which pages are the most popular. The results were not what I would have guessed.

A lot of old fogies are getting bent out of shape over the idea that 20 or 30 years from now today’s teenagers are going to get hammered by random screeds and bad dating habits they posted on blogs or MySpace.

For my next book, I’m trying to develop a reasonably comprehensive list of technologies which are potentially vulnerable to injection attacks. SQL injection is the most common, but there are of course many others. So far here are the ones I’ve got. What else am I missing?
