Re: Get QSH exit status

Who's fault is that? Especially in the IBM i arena?

I agree it is unfortunate. So far in the past 15+ years of running my
websites on an IBM i using RPG (eRPG SDK or CGIDEV2 for clients that
already were using that) the only issue I have had is a DoS attack that
happened a couple weeks ago.

I pointed my site to my backup (run by google) and they either gave up or
google caught it and shut them down.

I know you wanted to make a funny remark. But…

Unfortunately, most websites today are built to be put together
dynamically, from content of a database and maybe static text, as well as
IMG SRCs to some files on disk. Most often, this is done by PHP nowadays.
Even on IBM i, the inrush of "common" stuff being run in PASE, like PHP,
creates all new security nightmares. From the view of an attacker, it looks
as there's a crude UNIX-like something. So, no "what kind of code is this".
More like "What dammit old version of Drupal/Wordpress/whatever is this?".

(On a side note, I'm more and more attracted by the thought that in the
1990's, when people had Page Mill, Dreamweaver or just some knowlege and a
text editor, that was a good thing, from a security viewpoint. Create
content somewhere and upload just static files. No security problems
whatsoever. Will never be one of that one-shot-paid-forgot Website infected
with who-knows-what because today everybody is running after some CMS.
Which often shows only static content anyway, because it is never changed
in the database.)
