摘要
This paper intends to shed light on the security problems faced by e-learning software; which, until now has not been systematically tested for vulnerabilities and weaknesses. These result to web programs exposed to attacks that are fairly easy to implement. Additionally, e-learning software deals with intelligent, studious individuals; The intended audience for the product has the knowledge, or is potentially being taught the knowledge, to compromise the software. The problem is that in a situation like this, the compromised software remains unrevealed, probably for ever, because the beneficiaries have absolutely no need to reveal their findings, but rather exploit the very best of it.
