It's an upgrade I've been working on for almost 2 years (off and on)!  I have been using the new version for quite some time now, and have made a lot of improvements to it, and finally I decided enough users have suffered with the old version.  I am very excited for this release, it fixes all known bugs in the older versions, and brings some heavy-duty improvements to all facets of this plugin.. not to mention way better security modules (Lots more COOKIE use) based on code I use with clients.<br class="C" /></p>

<h2>Plugins for Practice</h2>
<p>I wrote 3 plugins to learn the skills I knew I needed for this plugin to do what I envisioned.  The first was a plugin that displayed all WP's builtin RewriteRules.  The next 2 plugins helped me to learn a great about PHP and WP, so that now my plugins are PHP 4/5 compatible and use PHP classes.  Just like all the other code I am into, I am finally achieving 100% E_STRICT conformance.  PHP isn't tough at all once you learn the syntax.</p>


<h3>AskApache Google 404</h3>
<p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/askapache-google-404/">This is my favorite plugin</a>.  I started developing it in order to learn what I needed to know to continue developing the AskApache PassPro plugin.  It's a super-stable plugin and very fast.  <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/askapache-google-404/">Check it out</a> and look at the source code if you want to get a preview of the kind of coding used on the AA PassPro 4.7 code.</p>
<p>I use it on every site I develop.  Part of the error handling code in that plugin (HTTP Error Handling) is used in the passpro release to provide advanced HTTP 1.1 capabilities and help with the pre-setup testing.  Currently it is not working 100% on this site, but the problem is because I use the development version of WP and the latest version breaks wordpress 404 usage (again scribus!).</p>

<h3>AskApache Debug Viewer</h3>
<p>This is my newest plugin that was created for the same reason as the AskApache 404 plugin, to figure out some things for the PassPro plugin.  Mainly, to figure out the best ways to debug php, file permissions, and learn as much as I can to prevent anyone getting locked out of their site with 4.7.<br class="C" /></p>
<p><a  class="IFL" href="http://uploads.askapache.com/2010/11/debugging-options.png"><img src="http://uploads.askapache.com/2010/11/debugging-options-215x350.png" alt="AskApache Debug Viewer Options" title="AskApache Debug Viewer Options" width="215" height="350" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4739" /></a>One of the last bits of code I want to add to my 4.7 code, which I have been using for over a year, is super logging capabilities to debug any problems the 4.7 plugin may encounter.  The latest release of the Debug Viewer, version 2.0, really has strong logging capabilities, and debugging capabilities.  Of course I try to push those capabilities to the max and beyond.  Currently the usability isn't the greatest, but if you are interested in debugging it is a goldmine of simple, fast, powerful debugging functions.<br class="C" /></p>

<h2>Everyone Who had Trouble</h2>
<p>To those thousands who inadvertantly locked themselves out of their sites with the PassPro plugin, or even worse shut-down ther sites temporarily, I bet that even though it was annoying, or worse than annoying, you came out of it knowing more about your server, your hosting environment, and it showed you a glimpse of the problems malware face when attempting to crack into a blog protected correctly.</p>
<p>Although part of me knows that there is no better way to learn how to secure your site than dealing with getting locked out yourself, I went all out with making sure this version won't lock you out.  Similar to the wordpress plugin bootstrap installation, this version creates a test and verifies it works in a test directory before going live.  The new version has the most advanced Apache Version and Apache Module Detection every published online, well not yet..  And if you don't have apache, lighthttpd, or a similar server that supports htaccess, I'm adding a pure-php auth so you can at least still have password protection.. but you can bet I will stronly advise such a user to upgrade their hosting to a <a href="http://www.wiredtree.com/298.html">Linux+Apache host with skill</a>.</p>

<h2>Back to work</h2>
<p>I've been extremely swamped at work the past 8 months working on a big project, so I only have days here and there to work on it.  I know that I am free either Thursday or Fri this week, so I will have a good shot at getting a BETA release out 4.7.0 one of those days or sometime next week.  If you have any ideas for the plugin, nows the time to let me know about it.. If you are a php master (I am not) and would like to help over the next 2 weeks, please email me.</p><p><a href="http://www.askapache.com/wordpress/askapache-passpro-4-7.html"></a><a href="http://www.askapache.com/wordpress/askapache-passpro-4-7.html">AskApache Password Protection 4.7 Update in 2 Weeks</a> originally appeared on <cite>AskApache.com</cite> </p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.askapache.com/hacking/magic-terminal-screen-bash-ssh.html"></a><a href="http://www.askapache.com/hacking/magic-terminal-screen-bash-ssh.html"><cite>AskApache.com</cite></a></p><p><strong>Back in the mid-90's</strong> I was doing a lot of <a href="#war_dialing">war-dialing</a> with modems (<em>a more recent phenomenon is wardriving, the searching for wireless networks (Wi-Fi) from a moving vehicle. Wardriving was named after wardialing, since both techniques involve brute-force searches to find computer networks</em>) and discovering all sorts of networks and machines, many of them were Unix and Solaris based public systems, and when I managed to gain access to the system and found myself staring at a unix shell I was very excited but also a total idiot.  In those days of using the phone networks to research unknown systems it was very difficult for anyone to actually get the phone company to trace a call, so instead of what happens today where it is child's play to trace an IP address, back then it was a very real back-and-forth battle between the system admin and whoever was gaining access to their system.</p>
<div><div id="screenmagic"></div></div>
<p>Essentially, I would gain a shell or some kind of terminal, and just go at it trying to figure out what it could do, trying all kinds of commands.  Inevitably this would eventually alert even the laziest admin and they would proceed to attempt to lock me out. It was great sport and extremely addictive.  When my favorite system (a massive sun machine in the basement of a big library) finally locked me out and I couldn't get back in I went to my local library and got some reading material -- one of my favorites was the red hat bible.  I was able to acquire my own computer and the first thing I did was install red hat linux onto it from the discs included with the book.  For the next several years I was essentially offline, all we had at home was a modem and it was becoming difficult to locate any more systems in my area code.. I was into phreaking of course as well, but I never was able to make free long-distance war-dialing a reality.</p>

<p>So I just read the books and learned what I could.  I would also goto the library when I could in order to use their machines which were connected to the internet (before aol it was much different than today's internet) and since my time was short I would download as many documents as I could so that I could read them offline.  The TLDP documentation that we know today was around back then in various forms, and I read every HOWTO in the index, though not understanding half.  The other big resource I found for really intense reading was the <a href="http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/">kernel documentation</a>, which admitedly I still don't comprehend 1/4th of..   I try and peruse all the new documents when a new kernel is released, since the kernel is where all the real action is, hence the military authoritative name, and that is how I discovered one of the coolest features of Linux that I have found.  TMPFS!</p>


<h3>What I learned</h3>
<p>I learned that with our present technology, which I try to keep somewhat updated on, using a mouse to point and click your way to a solution is always much much much slower than just getting dirty and writing straight code to a terminal.  BTW, you know they are close (within 100 years) of enabling connection at the speed of thought.  Yes it's a mind-meld between you and a super-computer AI to process it.  That's the whole story behind popular Japanese anime like "Ghost in the Shell".</p>
<p>That's also a fundamental reason that certain vast segments of the computing world have a dislike of Microsoft, the way they build (to sell) their operating systems..  no open-code, which is their obvious #1 problem, and why they have a million viruses.  Perhaps even a bigger issue some have with "the empire", is how they stuck this gooey, thats how you pronounce GUI - graphical user interface, in a way that tries to create multiple classes of people, those behind the scenes with all the control (they are a middleman between you and your real computer, for millions), and a second group of people on the outside, sheep - I believe they are referred to as sheep.</p>

<h3>Cleanup Screenrc Files</h3>
<p>You can run this command to get a wildly confusing screenrc file under control.  You could have a heavily commented version, and then run this to create the actual... I like to start there but because the screenrc file is read in order, you should take out the 'sort'.</p>
<pre>sed -e &#039;/^#/d; s/^[\t\ ]*//g; /^[a-z]/I!d&#039; /etc/screenrc|sort|tr -s &#039; \t&#039; | tr -d &#039;\015\032&#039;</pre>


<h3>Read lots of .screenrc files</h3>
<p>This is easy with Google's futuristic Code Searching Engine!  I get excited about this search engine because it is sooo dope!  Here's a <a href="http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=file%3Ascreenrc&hl=en&btnG=Search+Code">search for files named .screenrc</a>, thanks for this <strong>free</strong> tool Google, much love!</p>

<h2>More on War Dialing</h2>

<blockquote cite="">
<p><p>War dialing or wardialing is a technique of using a modem to automatically scan a list of telephone  numbers, usually dialing every number in a local area code to search for computers, Bulletin board systems and fax machines. Hackers use the resulting lists for various purposes, hobbyists for exploration, and crackers - hackers that specialize in computer security - for password guessing.</p>
<p>A single wardialing call would involve calling an unknown number, and waiting for one or two rings, since answering computers usually pick up on the first ring. If the phone rings twice, the modem hangs up and tries the next number. If a modem or fax machine answers, the wardialer program makes a note of the number. If a human or answering machine answers, the wardialer program hangs up. Depending on the time of day, wardialing 10,000 numbers in a given area code might annoy dozens or hundreds of people, some who attempt and fail to answer a phone in two rings, and some who succeed, only to hear the wardialing modem's carrier tone and hang up. The repeated incoming calls are especially annoying to businesses that have many consecutively numbered lines in the exchange, such as used with a Centrex telephone system.</p>
<p>The popularity of wardialing in 1980s and 1990s prompted some states to enact legislation prohibiting the use of a device to dial telephone numbers without the intent of communicating with a person.</p>
<p>The name for this technique originated in the 1983 film WarGames. In the film, the protagonist programmed his computer to dial every telephone number in Sunnyvale, California to find other computer systems. 'WarGames Dialer' programs became common on bulletin board systems of the time, with file names often truncated to wardial.exe and the like due to length restrictions on such systems. Eventually, the etymology of the name fell behind as "war dialing" gained its own currency within computing culture.[1]</p>
<p>A more recent phenomenon is wardriving, the searching for wireless networks (Wi-Fi) from a moving vehicle. Wardriving was named after wardialing, since both techniques involve brute-force searches to find computer networks. The aim of wardriving is to collect information about wireless access points (not to be confused with piggybacking).</p>
<p>Similar to war dialing is a port scan under TCP/IP, which "dials" every TCP port of every IP address to find out what services are available. Unlike wardialing, however, a port scan will generally not disturb a human being when it tries an IP address, regardless of whether there is a computer responding on that address or not. Related to wardriving is warchalking, the practice of drawing chalk symbols in public places to advertise the availability of wireless networks. Despite its widespread coverage [in the news?], warchalking never particularly caught on as a popular activity.</p>
<p>The term is also used today by analogy for various sorts of exhaustive brute force attack against an authentication mechanism, such as a password. While a dictionary attack might involve trying each word in a dictionary as the password, "wardialing the password" would involve trying every possible password. Password protection systems are usually designed to make this impractical, by making the process slow and/or locking out an account for minutes or hours after some low number of wrong password entries.</p>
<p>War dialing is sometimes used as a synonym for demon dialing, a related technique which also involves automating a computer modem in order to repeatedly place telephone calls.</p></p>

### Section 1: Global Environment
#
# The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,
# such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it
# can find its configuration files.
#
#
# TZ: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed.  This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.  e.g. admin@your-domain.com
#
SetEnv TZ America/Indianapolis
&nbsp;
#
# ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed.  This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.  e.g. admin@your-domain.com
#
SetEnv SERVER_ADMIN webmaster@askapache.com
&nbsp;
#
# Optionally add a line containing the server version and virtual host
# name to server-generated pages (internal error documents, FTP directory
# listings, mod_status and mod_info output etc., but not CGI generated
# documents or custom error documents).
# Set to "EMail" to also include a mailto: link to the ServerAdmin.
# Set to one of:  On | Off | EMail
#
ServerSignature Off
&nbsp;
#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
#   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
Options -Indexes -Includes -ExecCGI -MultiViews
&nbsp;
#
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#
DirectoryIndex index.php
&nbsp;
#
# Action lets you define media types that will execute a script whenever
# a matching file is called. This eliminates the need for repeated URL
# pathnames for oft-used CGI file processors.
# Format: Action media/type /cgi-script/location
# Format: Action handler-name /cgi-script/location
#
Action php5-cgi /bin/php.cgi
&nbsp;
#
# AddHandler allows you to map certain file extensions to "handlers":
# actions unrelated to filetype. These can be either built into the server
# or added with the Action directive (see below)
#
# To use CGI scripts outside of ScriptAliased directories:
# (You will also need to add "ExecCGI" to the "Options" directive.)
#
AddHandler php5-cgi .php .inc
&nbsp;
#
# Commonly used filename extensions to character sets. You probably
# want to avoid clashes with the language extensions, unless you
# are good at carefully testing your setup after each change.
# See http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets for the
# official list of charset names and their respective RFCs.
#
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
&nbsp;
#
# AddType allows you to add to or override the MIME configuration
# file mime.types for specific file types.
#
#
AddType &#039;application/rdf+xml; charset=UTF-8&#039; .rdf
AddType &#039;application/xhtml+xml; charset=UTF-8&#039; .xhtml

#
# AddEncoding allows you to have certain browsers uncompress
# information on the fly. Note: Not all browsers support this.
# Despite the name similarity, the following Add* directives have nothing
# to do with the FancyIndexing customization directives above.
#
AddEncoding x-compress .Z
AddEncoding x-gzip .gz .tgz
&nbsp;
#
# DefaultType: the default MIME type the server will use for a document
# if it cannot otherwise determine one, such as from filename extensions.
# If your server contains mostly text or HTML documents, "text/plain" is
# a good value.  If most of your content is binary, such as applications
# or images, you may want to use "application/octet-stream" instead to
# keep browsers from trying to display binary files as though they are
# text.
#
DefaultType text/html</pre>

<h2>My Favorite modsec_v1 stuff</h2>
<pre># Pass: Allows request to continue, further filters could still halt request.
# Allow: Allows matching requests through, will not be tested against other filters.
# Deny: Stops the request outright, returns a HTTP 500 error code by default.
# Status: Used to specify an alternate HTTP error code.
# Redirect: Matching requests are redirected to the provided URL.
# Exec: Allows execution of a local system binary or script.
# Log: Logs request only.
# Nolog: Does not log request.
# Chain: Allows you to create list of filters for more granulated security. All filters must be cleared before action is taken with the final filter.

# can find its configuration files.

# e-mailed.  This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.  e.g. admin@your-domain.com

# ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed.  This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.  e.g. admin@your-domain.com
#
SetEnv SERVER_ADMIN webmaster@askapache.com
&nbsp;
#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
#   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.

# If your server contains mostly text or HTML documents, "text/plain" is

Time is money in this industry and that is ultimately (time) what there is to gain by tweaking WordPress.</p>
<p class="cnote"><strong>Note:</strong> I spent no time on readability, this is primarily a read the code and figure it out article.. This is for advanced users looking for a reference or discussion and for those of you looking to advance.  Feedback would be great <em>if you make it that far..</em></p>
<p>For a better handle on the way I like to structure web site directories, see <a href="http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/optimize-website-files-cache-security.html">Optimize a Website for Speed, Security, and Easy Management</a> but note it is a bit outdated compared to what I'm doing now.  I don't have the luxury of using only one type of server, or hosting provider anymore, so I have been working towards making things even more portable in order to move from host to host from server to server without issues i.e. my portable <a href="http://www.askapache.com/linux/bash_profile-functions-advanced-shell.html">.bash_profile</a>.</p>
<p>So I've been basically experimenting various ways to accomplish that and thought I would share what I am currently doing for my benefit and hopefully get some input.  All of my WP installs run the development version, and one main idea with my setups is that upgrading is automated.  So I really keep the WordPress install clean and use plugins and wp-config.php to do all the customization.</p>
<ul>
    <li>Portability - Hands-free upgrades and easy to move</li>
    <li>Security - Additional security and protection</li>
    <li>Speed - Less CPU and Disk I/O</li>
    <li>Customization - All my favorite customizations</li>
</ul>
<h2>wp-config.php</h2>
<p>These are the main settings I use.. Seriously this is more like an interactive article, because to understand it you will need to do some code grepping.  You may want to grab a jolt.</p>
<h3>ASKAPACHE_ROOT</h3>
<p>The ASKAPACHE_ROOT variable is just a better way for me to be able to include and access all the different files in my site tree.  For instance, in my non-wp php files, I can do this:</p>
<pre>!defined(&#039;ASKAPACHE_ROOT&#039;) &amp;&amp; require $_SERVER[&#039;DOCUMENT_ROOT&#039;] . &#039;/wp-config.php&#039;;
include(ASKAPACHE_ROOT . &#039;/includes/custom-download.inc.php&#039;);</pre>
<h3>ASKAPACHE_LOCK</h3>
<p>This is one of my all-time favorite hacks, that I think is one of the most useful methods I employ as a web developer.  This allows me to use far-future-expire headers for optimum caching, while still forcing browsers to re-validate every day or so automatically, or forcing them to re-validate whenever I change the suffix.  This takes advantage of the <a href="http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/mod_rewrite-fix-for-caching-updated-files.html">mod_rewrite trick</a> that I use on EVERY site I run, definately worth learning. Because I practice best-practice web-standards, for every web site I create a single css file and javascript file, which I then add to the template like:</p>
<pre>&lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="http://static.askapache.com/c/apache-0&lt;?php echo ASKAPACHE_LOCK?&gt;.css" /&gt;

<h2>Debugging WordPress</h2>
<p>One of my secrets for getting really good at this stuff is to master debugging.  There is really not ever a time when I am working on a site that I don't have <a href="http://www.askapache.com/security/elite-log-file-scrolling-with-color-syntax.html">color-highlighted logs scrolling automatically in an ssh window</a>.  It's really almost impossible to fix problems with wordpress or do any kind of advanced anything without being able to view debugging info.  At first I relied heavily on a <a href="http://www.askapache.com/php/custom-phpini-tips-and-tricks.html">custom php.ini</a> being available on the server, but after having to deal with many hosts who don't allow <code>php.ini</code> files I now rely completely on setting values using <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php">ini_set</a> for ultimate portability. Detailed towards the end of this article and is also included in this <code>wp-config.php</code></p>

<h2>Ultimate Security Tweaks</h2>
<p>Well, ultimate for WP's built-in keys and password functions, this is all for wp-config.php keep in mind.  This is a very neccessary and recommended step, and is one of the only things I modify for each new installation.</p>
<h3>Security KEYS</h3>
<p>If like me you are familiar with password-cracking software like John the ripper, rainbow hash tables, l0pht-crack, etc.. then you will like to know that you can specify your own keys and salts for the encryption used by WP.  They are <code>AUTH_KEY</code>, <code>AUTH_SALT</code>, <code>SECURE_AUTH_KEY</code>, <code>SECURE_AUTH_SALT</code>, <code>LOGGED_IN_KEY</code>, <code>LOGGED_IN_SALT</code>, <code>NONCE_KEY</code>, <code>NONCE_SALT</code>, <code>SECRET_KEY</code> and <code>SECRET_SALT</code>.</p>
<p>A random and long key gives you better encryption, and exponentially increasing that is using a random and long salt for the encryption.  Encryptions with known salts are incredibly easy to decrypt compared to encryptions with secure salts, because the salt + key individually need to be guessed in order to find a matching hash, vs. just the key if the salt is known.  See: <a href="http://www.askapache.com/security/locating-weak-passwords.html">Locating weak passwords</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
    <p>A secret key is a hashing salt which makes your site harder to hack and access harder to crack by adding random elements to the password.</p>
    <p>In simple terms, a secret key is a password with elements that make it harder to generate enough options to break through your security barriers. A password like "password" or "test" is simple and easily broken. A random, unpredictable password such as "88a7da62429ba6ad3cb3c76a09641fc" takes years to come up with the right combination.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>For more information on the technical background and breakdown of secret keys and secure passwords, see: </p>
<ul>
    <li><a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/170987">WordPress Support Forum - HOWTO: Set up secret keys in WordPress 2.6+</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_cracking">Wikipedia's explanation of Password Cracking</a></li>
</ul>
<p>I like to use the <a href="https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/">WordPress.org secret-key service</a> 4 times.  That's because for each key and salt I like to do: (1 key from api +random keyboard input+1 key from api).</p>
<pre>/**#@+
 * Authentication Unique Keys.
 *
 * Change these to different unique phrases!
 * You can generate these using the {@link https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/ WordPress.org secret-key service}
 * You can change these at any point in time to invalidate all existing cookies.

 *
 * @since 2.6.0
 *
 * Get salt to add to hashes to help prevent attacks.
 *
 * The secret key is located in two places: the database in case the secret key
 * isn&#039;t defined in the second place, which is in the wp-config.php file. If you
 * are going to set the secret key, then you must do so in the wp-config.php
 * file.
 *
 * The secret key in the database is randomly generated and will be appended to
 * the secret key that is in wp-config.php file in some instances. It is
 * important to have the secret key defined or changed in wp-config.php.
 *
 * If you have installed WordPress 2.5 or later, then you will have the
 * SECRET_KEY defined in the wp-config.php already. You will want to change the
 * value in it because hackers will know what it is. If you have upgraded to
 * WordPress 2.5 or later version from a version before WordPress 2.5, then you
 * should add the constant to your wp-config.php file.
 *
 * Below is an example of how the SECRET_KEY constant is defined with a value.
 * You must not copy the below example and paste into your wp-config.php. If you
 * need an example, then you can have a
 * {@link https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/ secret key created} for you.

<h2>Using SSL for Admin and Login</h2>

<p>This is pretty cool, it forces non-https for all urls except for /wp-admin and wp-login.php, which both require https.  It also checks for the logged_in_cookie, and if that is present in the request then it doesn't force non-https.  Kinda confusing if you don't have a <a href="http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/mod_rewrite-variables-cheatsheet.html">mod_rewrite cheatsheet</a>.</p>

<h2>WordPress Database</h2>
<p>This is usually the only thing I have to manually edit when creating a new site, unless I just use the same DB and modify the $table_prefix, (farther down). I run everything I possibly can in UTF-8, but if you don't already know alot about character sets, wow it is one of the most confusing things so you may want to save learning about that topic for another day.  Otherwise the following are helpful (<em>and show how confusing character sets are!</em>)</p>
<ul>
    <li><a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/charset-charsets.html">Character Sets and Collations MySQL Support</a></li>

</ul>
<p>If you ever setup WP to use the builtin membership features, make sure you learn about the <code>CUSTOM_USER_TABLE</code> and <code>CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE</code> constants, I've found them very helpful.</p>

<h2>$table_prefix</h2>
<p>The <code>$table_prefix</code> is the value placed in the front of your database tables. Change the value if you want to use something other than wp_ for your database prefix. Typically this is changed if you are <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_Multiple_Blogs">installing multiple WordPress blogs</a> in the same database, and also for enhanced security.</p>
<p>Its a safe and good idea to change this value pre-installation to add more security to your WordPress blog. Exploits attempted against your WordPress blog by malicious crackers often are built with the premise that your blog uses the prefix wp_, by changing the value you mitigate some attack vectors. </p>
<pre>/**
 * WordPress Database Table prefix.
 *
 * You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique
 * prefix. Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
 */
$table_prefix  = &#039;ar15_&#039;;
&nbsp;
/** CUSTOM_USER_TABLE and CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE are used to designated that the user and usermeta tables normally utilized by WordPress are not used, instead these values/tables are used to store your user information. */

<h2>Setup PHP Ini Settings</h2>
<pre>
/** Turns the output of errors on or off, you really never want this on, you should only view errors by reading the log file. */
ini_set(&#039;display_errors&#039;, WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY);
&nbsp;

ini_set(&#039;log_errors&#039;, &#039;On&#039;);
&nbsp;
/** http://us.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php */

&nbsp;
/** Where to log php errors */
ini_set(&#039;error_log&#039;, ASKAPACHE_ROOT . &#039;/logs/php_error.log&#039;);
&nbsp;
/** Set the memory limit, otherwise defaults to &#039;32M&#039; */
ini_set(&#039;memory_limit&#039;, WP_MEMORY_LIMIT);</pre>
<h2>Sessions are slow</h2>
<p>So I only use sessions when I have a specific use... In this case I need sessions only when one of the tools in the /online-tools/ directory is being used.  And that is for the <a href="http://www.askapache.com/security/php-captcha-anti-spam-example.html">captcha image</a>.  In the future I won't ever use sessions.</p>
<pre>if(preg_match( &#039;#^/online-tools/#&#039;,$_SERVER[&#039;REQUEST_URI&#039;])) session_start();</pre>
<h2>Include Custom Files</h2>
<p>Sure you could use the my-hacks.php that WP allows, or you can just stick your functions in your <code>TEMPLATEPATH/functions.php</code> file, but they are executed only after the wp-settings.php file, which may be too late for your file.</p>
<p>In the past I've also used the <a href="http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.auto-prepend-file">auto_prepend_file</a> settings to run my script before anything (index.php) but I ran into some issues on different hosts, and it wasn't as portable.</p>
<p>This is useful because you can have a file with globally available functions that you can use in non-WP areas as well as WP areas.  I am moving away from this more and more as I learn more about classes and build plugins instead for portability.</p>
<pre>include_once ASKAPACHE_ROOT . &#039;/includes/myfunctions.inc&#039;;
&nbsp;
/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . &#039;wp-settings.php&#039;);
?&gt;</pre>
<h2>Some Useful PHP</h2>
<p>I am constantly trying to make my sites and code more portable, so I am using plugins alot more to accomplish things that I use to do with separate php.  Here are some examples of minimal php.</p>
<pre>add_filter("the_generator", create_function(&#039;$a&#039;,&#039;return "";&#039;));
add_filter(&#039;the_content&#039;, create_function(&#039;$a&#039;, &#039;return ((is_feed())? $a."&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=\"".get_permalink()."\"&gt;".get_the_title()."&lt;/a&gt; originally appeared on ".get_bloginfo("name").".&lt;/p&gt;" : $a);&#039;), 99999);
add_filter(&#039;excerpt_length&#039;, create_function(&#039;$a&#039;, &#039;return 300;&#039;),99);
add_filter(&#039;excerpt_more&#039;, create_function(&#039;$a&#039;, &#039;return "&amp;hellip;";&#039;),99);
add_action( &#039;wp_head&#039;, create_function(&#039;$a&#039;,&#039;echo "&lt;link rel=\"pingback\" href=\"&#039;.get_bloginfo(&#039;pingback_url&#039;).&#039;\" /&gt;\n";&#039;), 95 );
add_action( &#039;wp_head&#039;, create_function(&#039;$a&#039;,&#039;echo "&lt;link rel=\"schema.rss\" href=\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/\" /&gt;\n";&#039;), 96 );
add_action( &#039;wp_head&#039;, create_function(&#039;$a&#039;,&#039;echo "&lt;link rel=\"schema.rel\" href=\"http://purl.org/vocab/relationship/\" /&gt;\n";&#039;), 97 );
add_action( &#039;wp_head&#039;, create_function(&#039;$a&#039;,&#039;echo "&lt;link rel=\"meta\" type=\"application/rdf+xml\" href=\"/foaf.rdf\" /&gt;\n";&#039;), 98 );
add_action( &#039;wp_head&#039;, create_function(&#039;$a&#039;,&#039;echo "&lt;link href=\"/favicon.ico\" rel=\"shortcut icon\" type=\"image/x-icon\" /&gt;\n";&#039;), 99 );</pre>
<h2>Debugging Note</h2>
<p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/askapache-debug-viewer/screenshots/"><img alt="AskApache Advanced Debugging Output" src="http://s.wordpress.org/extend/plugins/askapache-debug-viewer/screenshot-1.png?r=160129" title="AskApache Advanced Debugging Output" width="625" height="548" /></a>If you read this far than you probably know how important debugging is, but I sometimes like to stick the best tips deep in my articles to make sure only YOU find it.  GRTFM isn't used on this site, it's mostly a requirement because my writing can get pretty bad..  The point, debugging is more than a crucial requirement if you want to do anything cool.  Don't worry I got you.. check my <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/askapache-debug-viewer/">AskApache Debug Viewer Plugin from the official WP site</a>.  It's pretty close to providing as verbose amount of information that I could possibly figure out how to get out of php, probably more than you have ever seen at least, I focused on quantity.  I use it all the time on new installs as there is no setup required and it tells me advanced information about the setup of the server, hacker code for sure.<br class="C" />
</p>
<p>Here's a quick function to see set global vars, I just think this is interesting code.</p>
<pre>function askapache_global_debug(){
  global $_GET,$_POST,$_COOKIE,$_SESSION,$_ENV,$_FILES,$_SERVER,$_REQUEST,$HTTP_POST_FILES,$HTTP_POST_VARS,$HTTP_SERVER_VARS,$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA,$HTTP_GET_VARS,$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS,$HTTP_ENV_VARS;
  $gv=create_function(&#039;$n&#039;,&#039;global $$n; ob_start(); if ( is_array($$n) &amp;&amp; sizeof($$n)&gt;0 &amp;&amp; print("[{$n}]\n") ) print_r($$n);return ob_get_clean();&#039;);
  foreach (array(&#039;_GET&#039;,&#039;_POST&#039;,&#039;_COOKIE&#039;,&#039;_SESSION&#039;,&#039;_ENV&#039;,&#039;_FILES&#039;,&#039;_SERVER&#039;,&#039;_REQUEST&#039;,&#039;HTTP_POST_FILES&#039;,&#039;HTTP_POST_VARS&#039;,&#039;HTTP_SERVER_VARS&#039;,&#039;HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA&#039;,&#039;HTTP_GET_VARS&#039;,&#039;HTTP_COOKIE_VARS&#039;,&#039;HTTP_ENV_VARS&#039;) as $k)echo $gv($k);
  print_r(get_defined_constants());

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.askapache.com/hosting/optimize-website-files-cache-security.html"></a><a href="http://www.askapache.com/hosting/optimize-website-files-cache-security.html"><cite>AskApache.com</cite></a></p><p><img class="IFL" src="http://uploads.askapache.com/2008/09/computerimg.jpg" alt="optimized server setup" title="optimized server setup" />Over the past 10 or so years I've been directly or indirectly involved in configuring/administrating/hacking thousands of websites, and I realized today that I've actually learned quite a bit about how to really make them work hard for me, instead of the other way around. It came as a mild shock to think of where I was back then vs. now because the improvements and optimizations are hundreds of smaller improvements, but taken together, the  optimization hacks I've found through trial and error and much reading are as Donald would say, <strong>YOOUUGE</strong> compared to a basic website setup.<br class="C" /></p>

<p class="cnote">I use this awesome skeleton setup for all my high-paying clients <em>sorry poor people!</em> and also of course on this blog, which I use as a bleeding-edge dev server for my crazy testing.  So realize that I'm already past this setup and using it to do cooler stuff.  In order for you to use these more advanced ideas, you first need to get up to speed on what I'm doing so you know what I'm talking about.  This article tries to help you accomplish that... remains to be seen.</p>


<h2>An Optimized Website, The Real Deal</h2>
<p>This first article is to give you some ideas and get you thinking and reading before the first article in this series comes out.  This series details how to setup, configure, secure, optimize, and manage a website the best possible way I can come up with.  It pieces together all the AskApache hacks and tricks and uses methods and ideas discussed all over this blog and all over the net and glues them all together to show you how to have the most optimized, fastest, best website setup I can think of.</p>
<p>Knowing the why and how behind the operation of a Web Server allows us to optimize that operation.  For this example we will be creating the website <code>www.askapache.com</code>, which will be running WordPress and php.  We will also set up <code>static.askapache.com</code> to serve all of our sites uploads, images, css and javascript files, flash files, etc. with advanced caching and security using Apache Server .htaccess files.  So lets get started and take a look at this site structure for a moment.</p>

<pre>/home/askapache.com
|-- /home/askapache.com/backups/
|-- /home/askapache.com/public_html/
|-- /home/askapache.com/inc/
|-- /home/askapache.com/logs/
|-- /home/askapache.com/static/
|-- /home/askapache.com/tmp/
|-- /home/askapache.com/.htpasswd-basic
`-- /home/askapache.com/.htpasswd-digest</pre>


<ul>
<li><code>/backups/</code> - For <a href="http://www.askapache.com/wordpress/encrypted-wordpress-site-backups.html">encrypted backups of WordPress database and site files</a>. And any other backups.</li>
<li><code>/public_html/</code> - The document root for <code>www.askapache.com</code></li>
<li><code>/inc/</code> - Folder to keep your php include files for extra security and easy management.</li>
<li><code>/logs/</code> - Save your php, apache, and other logs here or create symlinks to them.</li>
<li><code>/static/</code> - The document root for <code>static.askapache.com</code></li>
<li><code>/tmp/</code> - Only need this if your host doesn't already have a /tmp folder</li>
</ul>
<hr class="HR0" />



<h2>Strong Security, Top to Bottom</h2>
<p><img class="IFL" src="http://uploads.askapache.com/2008/09/1023103_warning_icon_32.jpg" width="150" alt="Optimize a Website for Speed, Security, and Easy Management" title="Site Security with Apache" />Simply by implementing correct access permissions, file permissions, password protection and segmenting various folders and services we are already ahead of the game.  I've always taken security extremely seriously, so you can benefit from alot of the simple solutions I'm recommending for a really locked down site.<br class="C" /></p>
<p>Indeed, security is a major part of every step of this setup process, as security concerns are what drives a lot of the motivations I have for coming up with this setup in the first place.  We will be doing very simple but very effective site security like the following items, which is a short list compared to everything we will be doing.</p>
<ul>
<li>Fixing file permissions automatically</li>
<li>Searching for modified files on the server</li>
<li>Encrypting your backups</li>
<li>Get alerted to breakin attempts</li>
<li>Block tons of bad clients</li>
<li>Disallowing cgi scripts or any other handlers, just serve files.</li>
<li>Configuring PHP</li>
<li>Password Protection for certain areas</li>
</ul>

<h3>Ready for Warfare?</h3>
<p>My past work for an Internet Service Provider, followed by 4 years of auditing the security of organizations external/internal networks has given me a fresh perspective on website security, and I think it allows me to see what would really be effective at preventing and killing attacks.  In fact just last night I was once again doing some research into some off-the-wall security topics, and I discovered a new defense method that I will be writing about very soon.  I believe that this new method,  could be quickly adopted and implemented by hosting providers and software developers, which would result in us finally taking the Internet back from all those zombies and robots.  This method will be discussed in great detail soon, and will be a core part of this site setups security and optimization.</p>

<h2>Built to <span style="color:red">Bleed Speed</span></h2>
<p><img class="IFL" src="http://uploads.askapache.com/2008/09/speedontheroadimg.jpg" width="150" alt="Optimize a Website for Speed, Security, and Easy Management" title="326255_speed_on_the_road" />Serve's files as fast and efficiently as possible using advanced caching, HTTP Protocols, php/server configurations.<br class="C" /></p>
<p>Many of the articles and research on this blog is about improving the speed and efficiency of your website.  In fact that is why I am helping develop open-source software to block spammers from WordPress blogs... not because I'm bothered by the spam, but because they make the net slow!  So lets look at some of the ideas we'll be implementing.</p>

<p>Many techniques I've been using and tweaking for several years, and recently many of them were included in the high-performance websites list.  Of course we will be taking a look at this list in practical terms, meaning almost all of it, the caching, compression, etc., will be automated in keeping with our "comfort" goal, which is to say we want to make the Web Developer and Server Admin's lives as easy and comfy as possible.  After all, we do the work right?</p>

<h3>AskApache.com, Fastest Site Ever!</h3>
<p>Ok it <em>might</em> not be the #1, but surely the top 10.. ;)</p>
<p>I'm very proud of the performance I am able to achieve on this site.  Very proud.  I started looking for ways to improve the wp-cache and wp-super-cache WordPress plugins, and came up with hacks for both of them.. but they still didn't do what I wanted so I started from scratch and wrote my own caching plugin.</p>
<p>With much more advanced caching options and unquestionably higher performance and lower time usage on the machine.  I'm hesitant to release it to the public until I get faded on it.. I just really love it.. it has been running my site for several months now and I keep finding ways to improve it.. Stay tuned.</p>
<p>One feature it has is the ability to allow negotiation of a resource between apache and the client.  Think almost transparent mutli-lingual blogs, mutliple formats per document (look at the rdf for this page for an example*). But that plugin is the future and this is the present.. so back to it we go.</p>

<h2>Pamper the Webmaster with Extreme Comfort</h2>
<p><img class="IFL" src="http://uploads.askapache.com/2008/09/wwwonthebeachimg.jpg" width="150" alt="Optimize a Website for Speed, Security, and Easy Management" title="Low Maintenance Web Development" />This section alone would make this setup appealing.  I have developed all types of techniques and methods to make my life as easy as possible.  I could literally DIE right now and this blog would continue to run and operate for years on its own.   The general philosophy that I have used to get to where I can goto the beach with my laptop and do all this crazy stuff is <strong>the idea of perfection</strong>.  That may sound a little put-offish, but it basically means I will focus in on one very specific area for improvement or research and just get sick with it.  Most of this blogs articles are enlightening examples of this in action.  I will take a relatively unknown or unused piece of code or software and experiment with it until I feel I have it down, then I move on to the next item of never-ending research.  Mostly I think this is just plain habit from when I was studying security.  I'm much better at this then that :)</p>

<h3>Apache ErrorDocuments</h3>
<p>The <a href="http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/apache-status-code-headers-errordocument.html">57 HTTP Status Codes and Apache ErrorDocuments</a> article is a prime example.  I was simply searching for an authoritative list of HTTP status codes, an issue not many web people find worth their time, and that search led to some of the most useful stuff I've found about the Web<br /><br />This "Comfort" article will include multi-language, intelligent, and optimized error documents for handling any type of HTTP error with class and allow us to stop spammers, save bandwidth, redirect correctly, etc..  You will probably be surprised at all the uses an Apache ErrorDocument can have.. It IS one of the foundations of the HTTP-based Net after all.<br class="C" /></p>

<h3>Emphasis on Easy Upgrades</h3>
<p>The whole setup is geared to make hassle-free WordPress/PHP/application upgrades possible by keeping different types of files in separate places, keeping backups, other misc tricks and since all of these files are in /home/askapache.com, your FTP connection can still access every file easily.  Sometimes security and optimizing your server can lead to it being more of a pain to do updates, backups, and general maintenance.  This article tries to overwhelm the balance with a trifecta of goals.</p>

<h3>Move to a new host? Ok!</h3>
<p>Comfort to me also means being able to pack up the whole website and database and move to another web host in under an hour.  I can move the whole AskApache site to one of several other hosting providers accounts I have in about 30minutes.  If this was a clients site or I was getting paid more, I'd also be focused on round-robin DNS technology, balance-load setups, and just go crazy making it fast.</p>

<h3>Staying Online, Improving Uptime</h3>
<p>Ever since I started sharing information and software to stop all these resource hogging zombies attacking everything I've been attacked several times.  Normally I get over 10K exploit attempts or requests per day, which I pretty much block 100%.  But a few times they've actually tried to DDOS me off the net in a distributed attack.  I have implemented several "poor mans" techniques to put up your best effort at surviving, which I did.  Basically you want to configure your server to KILL connections just as fast as possible and prevent your server resources from skyrocketing and surpassing your quotas.  A skilled attacker could easily shut you down even without the use of a widespread botnet if they are clever, which could be devastating to your small blog or site if it goes down at a crucial instant.</p>

<h2>Organization with Templates and Systems</h2>
<p>I used to work with a guy who did alot of the coldfusion programming for us, and I used to cringe every  time I was called in to upgrade a site or do a re-design.  Files and folders EVERYWHERE!  Literally images in every folder, multiple index.html, index1.html, index-old.html, and on and on it went.. It would take me hours just to reverse-engineer the site enough so I could modify files on it without having some unkown consequence happen.</p>

<h3>Do You Have a Cluttered Desktop?</h3>
<p>Everyone has this problem, what I do all the time is just grab everything on my desktop and put it in a folder named with the date.  Then the process repeats itself and invariably a few months later I'm looking at a cluttered screen again.</p>

<p>This absolutely is the worst thing that can happen to a website, worst for security, comfort for webmaster, and speed.  So this setup addresses that issue completely heads on.  With all the different pages, tools, and resources available on this blog, I can almost promise you that my site has less files than yours.  No small feat to be sure, but worth every second I spent researching how to do it now that its on and popping.</p>
<hr class="HR0" />




<h2>What's a Website really?</h2>
<p>All hosts are different, but any host worth their salt is running some kind of <a href="http://www.askapache.com/linux/">BSD/Linux</a> operating system, and that is good news because those operating systems all use very similarly excellent file/folder structures with huge organization systems.  If your web hosting provider is running on a Windows based operating system or other locked/proprietary software than this article is not for you and I would recommend switching hosts to a BSD/Linux open-source operating system.</p>

<h3>Listening for Requests with Web Hosting and DNS</h3>
<p>First you set your website up so it can start serving.</p>
<ol>
<li>You buy your domain name, which just gives you the right to use it.</li>
<li>You pay your webhost for an account on their machine running a Server connected to the Net <em>via a fast connection link</em>.</li>
<li>You pay a DNS provider to redirect requests for your domain  name to be sent to your webhosts machine running the server.</li>
</ol>



<h2>Sub-Domain for Serving Assets</h2>
<p>This is a very cool method I've been using more and more frequently because it makes updates, upgrades, and changes so much easier to manage.  And segmenting various parts of the site is smart security, and even smarter in the way of speeding up a website and keeping your <strong>servers running mean and lean</strong>.</p>
