I just visited your blog. I noticed it was built with WordPress. How do you keep it safe from hackers? Ever since I got PR 5 last month - I've got dozens of hack attempts a minute.

This is a good way to protect ourselves from hackers. Woe to hackers. Another nice thing from Google!

That's a good tip. Add to that, having a backup so you can restore your site if it is hacked, as there are so many ways to exploit popular platforms like WordPress, Joomla etc. searchenginefriendlyhosting com DO allow you to add your own custom .htaccess files, php.ini and have one click backup.

To do what Mattr has suggested regarding IP's, you'll need a static IP, otherwise each time you connect to the internet it'll be different, therefore blocking you from your admin directory! ;)

"Home IP address"?! OK Matt, now people will break into your home to spam your high PR blog.

you should escape the periods in your IP rules... ##\.##\.##\.##

To block people from other IP's, add this to an htaccess file and upload to your /wp-admin/ folder. (of course replace the ##.##.##.## with your actual IP, or Range you want to allow. order allow,deny allow from ##.##.##.##

Hey Matt, the tactics you suggested is nice, but I really not able how to figure how to bind htaccess to a folder and to a specific IP. Have you a sample on how to do that? Thanks.

you do sql injections through a vulnerable script, a script that doesn't sanitize data being input the data from the client. your friend is, sorry to say it, a wannabe hacker. apache has nothing to do with mysql and will never have anything to do with it.

there is a wordpress automatic update plugin, this combined with pinging wp-cron.php using wget in the crontab file will keep everything up to the latest version
