InOutBd And Security
You may have security concerns about running a program such as InOutBd, which has the ability to connect to outside computers. But you need not worry. InOutBd was deliberately designed to be a very limited-function Web server. It does serve up data files, but only JPEG and GIF files. If a request comes for a file that is not in the directory that you (as the server administrator) have specified for image files, the request is simply ignored. If a request comes for a file and the request contains a colon (:) or backslash character (\), the request is ignored. If a request comes for a file that does not have the extension .JPG or .GIF, the request is ignored. InOutBd cannot write to your disk at any time, except when you manually save the .IOB file. In/out status changes are stored in memory until the administrator saves the file. InOutBd has been carefully designed to serve up only the data it is supposed to, and it cannot be used to obtain other files. It will not allow outsiders to look at your hard disk or erase any files.
