2 things ...
1. I am hosed on a shared server with many other users. I have the
latest patches and such for my CMS software, but this is a cpanel server
(no comments on cpanel security from me)
2. I have some secret admirers who keep scanning my site and are
purposely hacking me. Such is life when you are a OS devel, most normal
people wont get this volume of hack scripts tried against their site.
Anyway ... I will continue to harden the site and plug the holes the
best I can. I'm sure my admirers will continue to try their f'ing hack
tools ... so we shall see how it goes.
Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
