Protecting sites using other than HTaccess
Is there an alternative way to htaccess to protect a members are of a site? I saw a script once and it used some other code. Maybe it was an .htaccess but used different code other than the mod rewrite.
Any ideas? |
i dont know if this is a smart thing, but what we are doing is serving the shit out of a root dir, protecting with php-session-management.... whenever some fraud is done, we use a dynamic .htaccess file for blocking and redirecting the ip.... i really don't know, though.
i am interessed in other alternatives, too. why dont you want to use .htaccess? aol problems? |
this information & more will be available at http://www.pr0.net in the next few months, so be looking out for it :Graucho

Here is the big problem with protecting you site.
Most programs give a 403 to the ip that brute forcing you password file. They love to use ip's that AOL has, because AOL's system is a pile of shit and is easy to abuse So 403's are fine in most cases except that AOL stores these 403's on there servers and prevents aol users sharing the same ip from visiting your site. So now come the complaints from an AOL subscriber that he can not get in your membership area because his ip is blocked and he did nothing wrong " Except for using AOL in the first place" : ) What we did is give the brute forcer a 202 ok and redirect to a fake url. That really seemed to help out I hate those brute force programs they are a pain in the ass for everyone and any idiot can use them. Hope that helps a little |
simply put, you don't need htaccess at all. you can do a variety of other methods, either using normal HTTP authentication or using cookie-based authentication. if you have questions, hit me up on icq.

Interesting stuff.

goto hotscripts and search in php only you'll find everything you need complete programs to add, change, mod, any password for any of your sites that you wish very easy to understand if you know php and mySQL

( ProxyPass ) The software blocks open proxies and shared passwords. Its written in C just like Iprotect and features a realtime admin. I had it installed and that was the end of the bullshit with those proxy hackers. Iprotect/Pennywize/StopThatHacker - just dont work. Lets say you have Pennywize set to block a user after 5 bad auths. These hackers use 1000's of proxies to attack you and get 5 guesses on each one. If the hacker has 8000 proxies to use, he gets 40,000 guesses all total. Whats the point in even blocking ? |
yeh PHP can protect your site nicely :)

Thanks for all the tips and links!
