PHP vs ASP Security
Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2004 7:49 pm
Now, I know that every language is prone to security risks based on how the programmer codes, but I was looking more at a general perspective. My company is big into Microsoft and everything that is MS. Our servers our Windows based servers whose scripting applications are always written in ASP.
Recently (mostly because of my love for PHP), I was curious as to attempting to convince them to use PHP. If not on our servers for external customers, then for internal uses only.
I was curious as to how PHP compared to ASP in terms of overall security on a Windows based system. Is ASP more secure, less secure, about the same? Are there any good sites or resources that compare the two (not from a programming and useability standpoint, but from a security one)?
