10 советы сделать WordPress Hack-Proof изображение

Имея Ваш блог взломали это не удовольствие, а стандартная установка WordPress не является непроницаемой. Не только взломал блог приводят простои, пока вы работаете с вашим провайдером, чтобы отслеживать проблемы и обеспечить это не повторится, он может также означать, что вы провести время, например, получить почтовый клиент правильным решением еще раз. В общем, драгоценное время впустую.

Профилактика лучше лечения. Здесь 10 советы сделать WordPress Hack-Proof.

What You Need

Перед началом работы

  • резервное копирование файлов с использованием FTP-клиент
  • резервное копирование базы данных, используя WP-PhpMyAdmin. Если вы не знаете, как это сделать, это проверить эту видео-учебник, здесь, на Guvnr.

Видео: Secure, Solid, сейф .. в 10 шагов.

Смотреть, ER, guvideo за лучшее представление о том, как это сделать.

Отъезд Справка the_guv по адресу http://youtube.com/guvnrDOTcom

... или если ты не можешь быть с беспокоило, что, даже если вы можете, вот подробнее ...

1. Обновление WordPress. До последней версии. Если вы используете 2.7 или более поздней версии, это может быть сделано из панели администратора, одним нажатием кнопки, автоматически. Взгляните на "апгрейд" кнопки. Если вы используете более раннюю версию, читать это.

2. Обновление плагинов. Убедитесь, что все будут обновлены до их последних версий. Если их нет, Вам не уведомили на странице администратора плагинов. Старые версии могут представлять угрозу безопасности.

3. Изменить "wp_" Префикс таблиц БД. Я использую WP-безопасности, сканирования, из той же ребята, которые разработали супер-удобно All In One SEO Pack, Semper Fi веб-дизайна. После активации, на левом меню, щелкните на "База данных" в "капля безопасности" вниз. На странице, которая загружается позволяет легко менять префикс. Если это не работа, а не бросать ошибку, сделайте следующее: --

  • Я. Отменить все плагинов WordPress, в качестве меры предосторожности.
  • II. Резервное копирование базы данных, как описано в видео Guvnr's Tutorial.
  • III. Откройте загруженный *. SQL-файл с помощью текстового редактора (где * название вашей базы данных.)
  • IV. Найти и заменить все экземпляры ваших "wp_ префикс" с новым префиксом.
  • V. В вашей базы данных WordPress, падение всех таблицах. Не роняйте самой базы данных, только таблицы. WP-PhpMyAdmin большой плагин для использования.
  • VI. Тем не менее в вашей базе данных WordPress, импортировать новые измененные *. SQL-файл, который вы редакцией изменением префикса. WP-PhpMyAdmin либо подобное снова.
  • VII. Открытые и редактировать РГ-config.php, в корневой папке блога, изменив "$ table_prefix = 'wp_';" на "$ table_prefix = 'yourNewPrefix_';".
  • VIII. Возобновить эти плагины.

4. Удалить "Администратор" пользователя. Просто чтобы хакеры работать напряженнее, бен этом. Создайте нового пользователя с правами администратора, и дать пользователю ник (для публичного показа), которая не совпадает с именем пользователя. Теперь выйдите из системы, войдите в систему как новый пользователь, и удалите оригинальный "Admin" пользователя.

5. Используйте Stronger пароль. Bit очевидно, это одно. Смешайте его с буквы, цифры и специальные символы, верхний и нижний регистр. Я использую RoboForm помнить (и шифрования) мой пароль, и это бесплатно.

6. Скрыть Ваш Wordpress версии. Из папки вашей темы, открытой "header.php", найдите строку ... 

 <META NAME = "Generator" 
 Content = "WordPress <? PHP bloginfo ( 'Версия');?>" />

... и удалите его. Он не имеет практического смысла.

7. Обеспечить WordPress ошибок базы данных должны быть выключены. В последних версиях WordPress, они отключены по умолчанию. Такое обновление.

8. Удалить РГ ID мета-тега. Удалить этот тег из основных WordPress. После активации и запуска WP-безопасности, сканирования, это будет сделано автоматически.

9. Создайте. Htaccess файл в "РГ-Бухгалтерия /" Открыть новый текстовый файл, и вставьте этот ... 

    # BEGIN WordPress
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    # END WordPress

... Save the file as .htaccess and upload it to your "wp-admin/" folder, ie, to http://myblog.com/wp-admin/

10. Hide Your Plugins. If you're not sure whether they're hidden or not, navigate to http://myblog.com/wp-content/plugins. If you see a 404 error page, they're hidden. Otherwise, you'll see them listed. In that case, copy the following into a new .htaccess file, adding the file to your wp-content/ folder...

    # BEGIN WordPress
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    # Prevents directory listing
    IndexIgnore *
    # END WordPress

Some web hosts don't allow you to administer .htaccess files. If that's the case, instead of using an .htaccess file to hide the list of plugins, create an index.html file. You can write something about restricted access in there, if you like. Either way, this file will prevent a plugin listing.

Now navigate to http://myblog.com/wp-content/plugins. They should be hidden.

After You're Done

Just to be thorough, and because a few things have changed...

  • Backup your files again, using your ftp client.
  • Backup your database again, using wp-phpmyadmin.

That's it. Your blog is more secure, and way less hackable. Go make content!

    I read your post, and found item 9 interesting (.htaccess) and its location. You should really put it in your blog root directory (or even your site root), so that indexes wont be visible... I suggest you look at your own directories for indexes, because some are a bit more exposed than they should.

    In the tip # 10, u told it will show "404 error page".

    But i think if you disabled directory it will show "403 error page".

    Thank you so much for this compact and easy to implement guide to WP security.

    I use 2 plugins that help with security that you did not mention in this article.

    The first is called WP-Optimize - allows you to delete post/page revisions, optimize the database and change the username from admin to anything you like.

    The second is called Secure wordpress and it does some of the things that you mention above. Probably good for clients etc.

    Thanks again and hope this adds something useful to the mix.

    Dear Mr Guvnr,

    Thank you so much for sharing your security blog video. I especially appreciated your tutorial on backing up a database using wp-phpmyadmin. The database is very frightening place to modify if one has no kno Создайте. Htaccess файл в "РГ-Бухгалтерия /" Открыть новый текстовый файл, и вставьте этот ...

      Dear Mr Guvnr,

      Thank you so much for sharing your security blog video. I especially appreciated your tutorial on backing up a database using wp-phpmyadmin. The database is very frightening place to modify if one has no knowledge of navigating phpmyadmin.

      Just to add a little bit of information regarding .htaccess on hosting web servers that enable safe mode on php. Some of us are unable to create and use .htaccess because of their server security policies.

      Therefore here's something that I do to get around this problem. I create a cloaked web page of an affiliate site. If the so called hacker wants to spy my wp-content/plugins directory, they will be surprised to what they will find.

      I simply upload a cloaked index.html page to hide the content of these important folders. So instead of viewing the contents of the folder they might be puzzled as to what they see. A live web site... Huh...?

      I do to same for my themes folder as well. It works well for me and this is generally what I do to hide all my download products I buy and sell online too.

      Again... thanks for your tutorial, it was very well explained and and hugely helpful.

    13. the_guv March 8th, 2009 at 11:24 pm

      Thanks very much for the tutorial, it's been really informative for a newbie like myself.

      I'm having trouble with the .htaccess file though and I'm wondering if it relates to what Lonnie A was having trouble with? When I upload the .htaccess file to the correct directory and then refresh my security scan plugin I get an error page reading 'Internal Server Error - The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.' and I can't access my WP site at all unless I delete the file.

      Thanks for any help you can give!

    46. Méldodie July 18th, 2009 at 3:56 pm

      Hello,

      I join lots of thanks to all the preceeding ones.

      I'll add a question you may find interesting, because all of my blogs aren't using Apachee as a server, but Lighttpd, so the .htaccess there has no effect (unless I install empty ones, thus making the plugin wp-security-scan content to see there is one where it seeks for it, otherwise comes the red warnings sent by the plugin).

      Lighttpd not using .htaccess, as far as the blogs I have under this server are concerned, I followed thoses of your advices that were relevant. My question would be : is there anything else that's relevant, that could be done or checked when using Lighty ?

      Thanks again : D

    47. the_guv July 19th, 2009 at 11:16 am

      @ Méldodie .. Good question. No idea 'cos I don't use Lighty with WP. I do use Nginx though and it's the same deal with that .. htaccess is irrelevant, so don't bother.

      ?? Anyone using non-Apache web servers that know of other tips ??

      After doing Step 9, my blogs got Internal Server Error 500. Deleting the .htaccess file fixed the problem. Is there something I'm missing?

      I copied that text, pasted it into Notepad++, made sure there were no extra characters at the beginning or ends of all lines, saved as a normal text file. Uploaded to the wp-admin directory, and then renamed to .htaccess

      At that point, I started getting the Internal Server Errors. When I deleted the .htaccess file from the wp-admin directory everything worked fine again.

      I had 644 permissions which is the same as the .htaccess file already in the directory above.

      Thoughts?

      @Brian .. hmmn, could be an issue with your httpd.conf, on the server. What does that say?

      I cannot believe this will work!

      I think there is still an exposure to malware, namely injection of at the bottom of root index.*, a file which even WP needs to start.

      Hello! Thank you for this wonderful article.

      I think I might have found the answer to Brian's problem, as I had the same issues with accessing my admin area after I created the new .htaccess file.

      Anyway, I took another look at the code in the file, and I realized I copied the text from your article, but the code had line numbers in it.

      ie: 7.# END WordPress

      I deleted all the line numbers and now it works fine! Thanks!

      Hope that helps Brian too!

      @Debbie .. hey girl, good to hear.

      Now look everyone, don't copy the ruddy line numbers! Top right of the code boxes there's an option to open the plain text .. so do, then copy from there. I know, easy when you know how.

      Hey, Debbie, on your site .. beaut pic of that frog and the key. What a thing. Quite humbling.

      I was going to work through this, but I fell at the first hurdle.

      wp-phpmyadmin is only compatible up to Wordpress version 2.2.2

      I'm running 2.8.4. Is there a workaround?

      @joejonns & @Bill Bartman .. many tx

      @Bill Bennett .. sorry for delay, was on hols.

      As I understand it, wp-phpmyadmin does work with WP, up to 2.8.4, despite saying it's compatible only up to 2.2.2.

      Seems that the developers haven't upgraded the stylesheet yet, so it may look a bit odd, is all. When they do that, I guess they'll update the compatibility officially.

      Alternatively, I've heard some good things about Adminer .. http://www.adminer.org/en/ , which entails uploading a single file to your server before having a php tool very like phpmyadmin. OK, yes, I know, that's not *quite* so handy as having a WP plugin version, as is the case with wp-phpwhatnot.
