Security Script or Module

Post by kendo451 »

  • Since I set up a lot of CMSMS sites, I have written a bash script that does the following after I have completed the install:
    • Delete install directory
    • chmod 444 all files and directories
    • chmod 777 the files & directories that need this
    It seems to me that it would be quite helpful to make a module called "Security" that does this as well as adding the lines to the various .htaccess files that are recommended in the security thread.

    This would allow a newbie without SSH to implement a standard security scheme automatically.  Granted it wouldn't solve all problems or plug all holes, but it would be a nice feature.

Yes it will be very good to have a security plugin.

Hello,

I like your idea of "post install hardening" as I like "deny from all" in htaccess in /lib or so.
I don't know if a module is the right implementation.
