  Taint :: d20srd.org
When a new tainted sorcerer level is gained, the character gains new spells known and spells per day as if she had also gained a level in a spellcasting class she belonged to before she added the prestige class.
While a tainted sorcerer is likely to accumulate a high taint score over the course of her life, this taint is not immediately obvious to onlookers.
Tainted sorcerer bonus spells are based on a number equal to the character’s taint score + 10, and saving throws against tainted sorcerer spells have a DC of 10 + spell level + the tainted sorcerer’s taint score.

  IPT Journal - "The Taint Hearing"
At the taint hearing, the burden of proof will be on the state to prove the reliability of the proffered statements by clear and convincing evidence.
Defense attorneys should request a taint hearing whenever they believe suggestive and coercive interviews may have destroyed the child's ability to testify truthfully or when they believe that the child's statements to others are unreliable because of defective interviewing.
Another advantage is that the knowledge of the possibility of a taint hearing may decrease the likelihood of such coercive interviews, assuming the interviews are documented by audiotape or videotape.

 Introduction to Perl's Taint Mode (1/2)
Tainted data may not be used directly or indirectly in any command that invokes a sub-shell, nor in any command that modifies files, directories, or processes...
Taint Mode's primary abilities are to force you to think about how you use your input, and protect you from accidentally doing something that you might not have realized was unsafe.
The difference is that Taint Mode will remind you (and force you) to at least perform some scrubbing on variables if you haven't, as well as watch out for tainted variables that arise as the result of coming in contact with other tainted values that you may have accidentally missed.

 The Taint Hearing In False Allegation Cases
The taint hearing is an excellent and useful tool when faced with defending an allegation of child sexual abuse and should be considered whenever the child accuser has been exposed to multiple interviews or there have been leading and suggestive questioning techniques used during the child accuser's interview.
In short, the taint hearing is used to show the Court that, because of multiple interviews or leading and suggestive questioning techniques, it is not possible to know if the child accuser is giving an account of events that actually happened or if they are relaying information they "learned" during the interview process.
Under such circumstances, a pretrial hearing (taint hearing) was required at which time the state was obligated to prove by clear and convincing evidence that the statements and testimony retained a sufficient degree of reliability to warrant admission at trial.

 ASPN : Taint 0.09   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
To remove the taint from data, use the method described in perlsec(1), or use the make_extractor routine.
Although the argument to this routine must be untainted, the arguments to the generated code may be tainted or not.
When taint checking is off, this routine and its generated code behave in essentially the same way, even though neither their parameters nor return values are tainted.

 Taint Hearings
The New Jersey Supreme Court acknowledged that, because of the improper interview techniques, "a substantial likelihood exists that the children's recollections of past events was both stimulated and materially influenced by that course of questioning.
This court has a responsibility to ensure that eviednce admitted at trial is sufficiently reliable so that it may be of use to the finder of fact who will draw the ultimate conslusions of guilt or innocence.
Another advantage is that the knowledge of the possibility of a taint hearing may decrease the likelhood of such coecive interviews, assuming the interviews are documented by audiotape or videotape.

 Cork taint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cork taint is a broad term referring to a set of undesirable smells or tastes found in a bottle of wine, especially spoilage that can only be detected after bottling, aging and opening.
Though modern studies have shown that other factors can also be responsible for taint – including wooden barrels, storage conditions and the transportation of corks and wine – the cork is normally considered to be responsible, and a wine found to be tainted on opening is said to be "corked".
The incidence of bottles with cork taint is estimated to be between 1 and 15 percent.

 Motion for Pre-Trial Taint Hearing
The question is whether the statement made by the detective, shared with the children's father and then passed to the children regarding the alleged sexual abuse was unduly suggestive and coercive requiring an inquiry into the totality of the circumstances surrounding this statement.
The State should then be made to prove by clear and convincing evidence that the statements and testimony elicited by the improper suggestive techniques nonetheless retain a sufficient degree of reliability to warrant admission at trial and to safeguard the fairness of Defendant's trial without making legitimate prosecution impossible.
Until the Doe children were "influenced" and/or tainted by what Moore told John Doe, "they believed that what John Smith had done was an accident and they believed it for months." They were angry because the "adults" did NOT want to hear them defend John Smith, but the girls knew they were telling the truth.

 Security Issues in Perl Scripts: Perl Taint Mode
Taint mode now realizes that the $username variable comes from outside our little world and may be tainted.
Taint mode doesn't know about every possible vulnerability and although it can help you avoid many weaknesses in your programs, taint mode is not the ultimate solution.
Taint mode also considers insecure the use of backticks and the s switch which sets the values of variables if a command-line switch of the same name is passed to the program and therefore can be maliciously used to overwrite important variables.

 Taint::Runtime - Runtime enable taint checking
This module aims to make using taint as painless as possible (This can be an argument against it - often implementation of security implies pain - so taking away pain might lessen security - sort of).
Both of these methods will enable taint and from that point on development should be done with taint.
For a stronger taint, see the Taint module by Dan Sulgalski which is capable of tainting most types of data.

 Introduction to Perl's Taint Mode (2/2)
The reason for this is that it may be possible that a malicious user has reset your path to point to a set of dubious applications that have the same names as the common applications that you are referring to within your script.
Earlier we mentioned that any variables in a subexpression of an expression that involves tainted data will themselves be tainted; but this does not apply to expressions in a ternary operation (unless the sub-expression in the ternary operation refers to the tainted variable).
As mentioned earlier, Perl's Taint Mode will not, in and of itself, force you to write secure scripts; but it may force you to at least think about the security of your script (as well as prevent you from unknowingly introducing some known security risks).

 Taint checking made simple (aug 00)
Taint mode is a security feature of Perl, and includes two levels of operation.
Well, the typical use of taint mode is to enable programs that act on behalf of other users to operate in a safer manner.
Certainly, this program would have aborted with or without taint mode, but in taint mode it works only because we added the extra code to perform a regular expression match, during which we needed to think about what the possible legal values for the string might have been.

 Taint and Too late for "-T" option - Dev Shed
I have read up on it and basically I understand that Taint marks data that flows into the program as tainted so that the data cannot be used to access anything outside the scope of the program etc.
Without taint checking enabled in your script, this would just pass right through and delete everything owned by nobody (or whatever your webserver runs as).
Taint checking watches the data to make sure you don't send anything out before you've validated it.

Once taint mode is on, it's on for the remainder of your script.
The tainting mechanism is intended to prevent stupid mistakes, not to remove the need for thought.
Taint checking is most useful when although you trust yourself not to have written a program to give away the farm, you don't necessarily trust those who end up using it not to try to trick it into doing something bad.

 Taint Mode with CGI - Dev Shed
I suggest you use taint everywhere, it really doesn't get in the way that often (most CGI scripts don't have that much unsafe behavior, as long as you aren't shelling out or opening files that get names from user entered data all the time)
And on how to untaint user data- the idea is that you match against a regexe to make sure the data is clean before using it somewhere that's unsafe.
Oh, and taint will be in effect for any packages you include in your script, too.

 Perl taint mode
When used in taint mode, the Perl interpreter assumes that all user input is "tainted" or potentially malicious and places restrictions on the actions that the script may perform on that input.
Perl handles tainted data using a special set of rules that limit the actions that may be performed on tainted data.
For example, tainted data may not be used in a call to system(), eval(), exec(), open() or a number of other privileged functions.

 perl.com: Perl Code Kata: Testing Taint
If you enable taint mode, Perl will mark every piece of data that comes from an insecure source, such as insecure input, with a taint flag.
If you want to use a piece of tainted data in a potentially dangerous way, you must untaint the data by verifying it.
You should also verify that the resulting value, when extracted from the handler, is not tainted, no matter its previous status.

 Perl: Strict, Warnings, and Taint
Taint prevents code by automatically tagging any variable assigned from outside of the program as "tainted" and therefore unsafe.
Data that has been marked as tainted spreads the mark to any other data it comes in contact with, so if you use a tainted variable to change a second variable within the script, the second variable also becomes tainted.
Taint also stops you from calling any external program without first setting a PATH environment variable.

 Taint (slang) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Taint is a rarely used term, but its use in popular culture is not new.
Animated adult series such as Drawn Together and American Dad have also employed "taint" for comedic value in recent years, as the use of the relatively obscure term is often allowed by network censors.
The HBO series Deadwood (TV series) featured the use of the term when one of its characters was facing a hazardous surgical procedure to remove a kidney stone.
