This page is a candidate for deletion 
Reason given: Entire article series:
  • Very basic with installation instructions only and absolutely no explanations.
  • Frequent abuses of USE and ACCEPT_KEYWORDS.
  • A number of other security problems.
  • All these subjects are already covered by far more indepth articles.
  • Needs tidying and wikification.
