Hey guys, its been a while since I've been around here and I can definitely see ther've been a bunch of great changes.

I have some questions though before I spend too much time. I know people don't like to openly discuss exploits but I really need to know. Have there been many reports about dnn site hackings such as sql injections and similar exploits that plague the living hell out of phpnuke? I've used phpnuke for a pretty long time now, had my site hacked many times but this last time was the last straw for me as I literally lost everything because of some lame exploit that enabled them to delete my forums, messages AND all my news articles. I realize I should have had a better backup plan then I had (or actually didn't have) but I'm not s security expert or a web programmer so I dont feel like I should have to be a guru to actually make my site secure.

Also I'm not sure what to call it but I'm wondering if DNN uses ASAPI rewrite or if you guys have just figured out how to impliment that feature without server tweaking... meaning website urls are page1/anotherthing.aspx instead of content=1&storyid=2

We take security very seriously and have tried to make DNN as robust as possible, utilising multiple different layers of security where possible (a "defense in depth" policy). Much of the design and architecture of DNN helps with this aim, in particular the fact that we've always embraced the use of stored procedures, which cuts down the possibility of sql injection hugely. Other common areas such as cross site scripting and viewstate tampering have also protection built into the framework (see the security blog for details on some of these areas).

Security is an ongoing task, so expect further enhancements, blog posts and documentation to help ensure we are secure as possible.

As for url rewriting, at present DNN supports the use of machine-friendly url's, where we transform the ?tabid=xx notation into a path that also uses the menu structure to build the url. In a future version,we will also support the ability to map id's to user selected paths. All of this uses httpmodules, so doesn't require the installation of any component(s) or server settings.
