anti-hammer

Discussions of secure PHP coding. Security in software is important, so don't be afraid to ask. And when answering: be anal. Nitpick. No security vulnerability is too small.

anti-hammer

Post by rhecker »

I discovered a script called antihammer (http://corz.org/serv/tools/anti-hammer/ which bans website hammers. Seemed like a good thing, but it requires permissions for a folder below the root to be set to 777. That seems like a poor tradeoff. Is there any way to have a folder set to 777 and be secure? So I am not going to use this script until I sort this out. Any thoughts?
