I think that disallow access in .htaccess file (for apache use) to blacklisted host is a good idea to prevent big problem…and also, have a good robots.txt file to make sure that webcrawler (who’s using correctly this file) doesn’t hig load your website (it can be a security issue I think), and even with the robots.txt file, just disallow critical directory to webcrawler in the .htaccess… Hey, good post also!

Tip #9 is rather pointless. The only way php code is visible via a browser is if your php installation is completely borked, at which point you would not even be able to install wordpress (or any other php application) anyway. The only thing you have managed to do is turn a blank page into a “you’re not authorized” message.

For example, here’s a link to the config file for wordpress.org. Not very informative, is it?

http://wordpress.org/wp-config.php

A better solution is to move wp-config.php out of the web-accessable area on your server, if you are concerned about this issue.

Very useful for non technical folks like me and something I intend to implement in the next day or so.

I didn’t realize it was that easy to find such sensitive information and as you say, every little helps.

Good article nice and clearly laid out, thank you.

I was wondering how can we prevent DDOS effectively.
I’m tired of someone who always DDOS my blog.

uhm… that would be not smart since changing the header is only ADVICE for “browsers”, if I write a script to do bad things I obviously wouldnt listen to that advise and just skip the header relocaton and read the rest of the page. So be sure to put exit; behind the header relocation.
