the risk of allowing people to upload picture on your site
I was wondering what kind of risk is involved when allowing people to upload a file to my website. I know there is a way of filtering the kind of file that can be uploaded like .jpg or .png or .gif or tiff. but what if someone just write an executable routine and give it the extension jpg for example? I am really new at programing but I know some people are real magicians with codes and can do anything they want. is this possible to do? can I get my site wiped out by something like that?
