If the attacker where to reveal their path it would not necessarily pose a serious threat to the application’s security, assuming executing the individual file on its own does not give away any useful debugging information. To avoid helping people exploit your applications you may consider to turn off the standard PHP behaviour of throwing out all possible information as soon as something goes wrong: Either set “error_reporting” to “0” in php.ini or through your .htaccess-file.

Additionally you might consider isolating your files from even executing on their own. The easy way to do this is to:

• define a function in the main file (index.php)
• only allow execution of additional files if the defined function is able to execute

index.php

<?php function LoadedCorrectly() { return true; } ?>

database.php

<?php LoadedCorrectly() or die(); ?>


APP="${1}.x86"
echo "${APP} 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
echo "${APP} 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
echo "${APP} 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm1c/oss


To use it, simply run the script with the game binary’s name as an argument:

# Fix sound for RTCW single player
sh sound-fix.sh wolfsp

# Fix sound for Enemy Territory
sh sound-fix.sh et

Some fields I think would be very fun to research:

• Bio-fuel: Creating more efficient production methods and cheaper ways to “upgrade” the gas.
• Nuclear waste management: How to dispose of nuclear waste as safe and reliable as possible.
• Chemical computing: Initial attempts of creating a computer made out of chemicals has already been done successfully. In the future computers may consist of chemicals replacing the electronic grinds used to perform calculations today.
• Hydrogen-fuel: Better methods of extracting hydrogen for fuel-cells and engines.
