old-www

This website is what I created in my high school computer science classes during 2012-2014. I thought it would be fun to resurrect the code and do a little write-up on the security issues that I didn't know about when I started programming.

Docker

I Dockerized the original codebase to make it easier for anyone to jump in. To start the site, just clone and repo and use Docker Compose:

git clone https://github.com/gharryg/old-www.git
cd old-www
docker compose up

Outside of Docker and the changes below, the website and the code are exactly the way they were around 2014. I tried my best to preserve the accuracy of the codebase.
