It would be inadvisable to put WITM on a public access web server unless password protected. Otherwise it would be trivial for a potential hacker to compromise your system. As an example, consider what would happen if the Evaluate button was pressed with the command below entered.
That would on most UNIX operating systems delete every single
file that the owner of the web server (typically 'nobody') has write
access to. Although it would be relatively easy to prevent commands such
as Run[]
being executed, it would be hard to secure a system against a dedicated
hacker, unless some precautions are taken. Using the
Zones
or Containers in Solaris 10 one could build a virtual machine, which
should be safe, but a dedicated nuisance could still cause you
problems in that zone. So WITM
must be password protected, and only those trusted and competent people given
a password. (Also, there are restrictions on the Mathematica license which
would probably prevent you putting this on a public web server.)
