Release Build And Debug="false" Based on the content of different threads and links, we can say that there are for four possible combinations: 1.  Compilation=Release  Debug="true" a. Code is optimized and debug symbols are removed b. Detailed exception information is shown to users, but debugging cannot take place beacuse no debug symbols are loaded. 2.  Compilation=Release  Debug="false" (the ideal production configuration) a. Code is optimized and debug symbols are removed b. Detailed exceptions information is not shown to users and thus is more secure. 3.  Compilation=Debug  Debug="true" (the ideal development configuration) a. Code is not optimized and debug symbols are populated b.  Detailed exception information is shown to users and debugging is possible 4.  Compilation=Debug  Debug="false" a. Code is not optimized and debug symbols are populated b. Detailed exception information is not s...

Clickjacking  Clickjacking is a type of “web framing” or “UI redressing” attack. What that simply means in practice is that: 1. A user (victim) is shown an innocuous, but enticing web page (think watch online video) 2.
