My knowledge about web security is embarassingly poor, especially for
someone who has naively implemented an Apache webserver on his home
computer. Regarding my Google Maps app I have the following specific
questions.
Can I set file and directory permissions and Apache httpd.conf on the
files details.txt and myserver.php in such a way that hackers cannot
alter them directly nor alter other files? If so, how? (I am not
worried about the information being read, only corrupted.) I am using
Mac OSX, and my (relevant) permissions settings are shown below (can
they be done better?).
http://schott.selfip.net/~brian/mapswinfo/rideshare.html
[1:06pm brian~/Sites]% ls -ld mapswinfo/
drwxr-xr-x 33 brian staff 1122 Oct 25 15:07 mapswinfo//
[1:06pm brian~/Sites]% ls -la mapswinfo/
total 608
drwxr-xr-x 33 brian staff 1122 Oct 25 15:07 ./
drwxr-xr-x 74 brian staff 2516 Oct 26 11:40 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 brian staff 6148 Oct 25 12:52 .DS_Store
-rw-r--rw- 1 brian staff 106 Oct 25 12:50 details.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 brian staff 1945 Oct 25 12:47 myserver.php
My more general questions involve understanding what I see when I
watch my httpd access_log, and what actions I can take. In the past I
have noticed unwanted hackers lurking around and have attempted to
block them by altering my /etc/httpd/users/brian.conf file like the
following excerpt but with practically no success.
<Directory "/Users/brian/Sites/">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from 211.220.195.27
Deny from 211.43.222.21
Deny from 211.52.78.2
...
Allow from all
</Directory>
So can someone tell me if
a am I doing this correctly, and
b is there some way I can kick off a particular ip address that is
bothering me at any given moment?
Thank you,
Brian in Atlanta
PS I tried to post a reply to the thread "GGeoXml using KML Local
File" but could NOT find a plain old "reply", only "reply to author".
Was I blind?
