really wish webmasters (especially adult webmasters would be more careful with their sht)
10+ years as a webmaster and never been hacked.
why?
Tips :
If you have root access to your server, make sure nobody else can connect to it. Even tech support. (a little overly paranoid there, but u gotta be)
I only allow FTP, SSH access via my IP only.
I only run programs I absolutely need (PHP and MYSQL) and I shut off everything else. no perl, none of that sht. Most popular programs these days only need PHP and MYSQL , and obviously apache.
If I have a software (like Tube software) I make sure to always keep it up to date.
and boom = you'll never be hacked. Except maybe a DDos if you really piss somebody off.
If you give ANYBODY else,FTP or SSH access...make sure u really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, absolutely trust them.
yea, doin sht this way kinda puts more stress on 1 individual (myself) ,and makes ur life a little less fun , but at-least u don't get hacked / infected , or whatever.
