  • A few things I remember.

    Nobody sanitised their inputs.

    You could get through logins by making a database query check whether 1 = 1 instead of a password. You could put JavaScript into guest book fields to redirect people to whatever crazy site you wanted.

    My university lecturer told me about a well known supermarket that built a shop front. They made it in such a way that you could change the numbers before they were submitted and it wasn’t validated on the back end. So free food.












  • I live in Germany, if you have a specific question I can try to answer.

    In general there are a lot of stereotypes about Germans, but most of them aren’t correct.

    1. Germans are efficient. Nope.
    2. Germans have no humour. Nope.
    3. Germans are unfriendly. Nope.
    4. Trains are on time. Nope.

    Some are slow to warm up to strangers.

    Many places only take cash still, though that is slowly getting better.

    People do stare, not sure if that is specifically a German thing.

    One thing that might be useful for you to know, coming from America. Many Germans get irritated by stereotypical American over sharing.

    Be prepared to have your opinions on Trump probed.
