I'm hoping for a quick summary of the safety precautions one should take when building a hack for vB. Such as:

How do you properly escape/condition input fields that the user fills?
What other precautions does one need to take when that field is used in a SQL query?
What other precautions should an author take to ensure user input is safely handled?


Answers appreciated.
