Knowing about the various types of common exploits is probably the most useful thing you could do.

Then go through your code and look at the code from an attackers perspective and try to think about what they could send that would cause something unexpected to happen. That's generally my approach anyway.

There are a few tools for exploit scanning around although I have never used any of them. I imagine it would be faster to just go through the code :?

Vicious stuff...
I would say I'm kinda safe from un-honest surfers with Cloudflare :D
