hidden admin area
Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2005 5:39 pm
Hi there,
this is maybe not a real php code question, but... I have coded an online shop with an admin area.
The shop itself is secured, but the admin area is not at all. It is just in some other folder.
-> is it likely that hackers will find the folder if I put it to some localtion like lnfduj38834kdbuHFGH/dkfk6/admin.php ?? The folders are usually not viewable because each folder has an index.html file (is that a real security? Does it prevent ppl from browsing the folders??)
The admin area not only controls the shop functions, but also can reveal sensitive customer information.
Any way to simply keep out all ppl instead of fixing every single problem individually?
Thanks for the help!
