A friend of my is “retiring” and moving out from the scene. During a conversation he told me that Web bases exploration is soon over. And i said to him that i think the are more opportunities now then ever before and i think the future still looks bright.

If we look how the websites started out we see a lot of static pages with information. Not that many sites were making money and the functions of a website were limited. As the year passed we see a difference in how websites are created. Before there where people just wanting to put out something for the public to see. Now people wanting to put out something while earning money and with money comes competition over visitors and users. Just take gmail or hotmail for example how much high-tech aren’t they today compare to a few years ago. Another example if we look at a pron site from 2000-2002 we see a website with static HTML pages and if your lucky they where running some bad coded PERL script witch you could exploit. But likely the only option was to attack a service running on the server like FTP or the web server it self. If we now take a look at a pron site 2011. We see a sites that has dynamic code and likely has code running from a few different coders. The site has a function to bookmark your favorite videos or search for your pornstar and so on. Its a trend that will continue and the last few years we have seen a explosion in “handheld” (mobile) websites and i have noticed a lot of them are bad coded because who hacks from a mobile phone right? While the size and complexity grows in a website the error for mistakes and logic flaws grows as well. I think our time if far from over and if i am allowed to quote Sun Tzu: “Opportunities multiply as they are seized”.
