Exclamation S E C U R I T Y in asp scripts

Hello all,

I'm looking to restrict access to various pages of my website. I have curently an app in place which queries a database for the credientials (user + password) entered and sets a flag to true if a match was found.

I heard about comparing the HTTP_REFERER header to the HTTP_HOST header, but heard it is useless because soem browsers dont support those headers and hackers can mess with them easily,

do you have any sugestions?


Thanks
