Admin Tools version: (unknown)
Description of my issue:
I'm a complete novice with Joomla and web building. As such, I'm not sure if the .htaccess created by Admin Tools requires the following to be added. Please advise:
IndexIgnore *
Options -Indexes
ServerSignature Off
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
<FilesMatch "configuration.php">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</FilesMatch>
I'm sure the .htaccess by Admin Tools .htaccess maker is thorough, but any other suggestions to make it even more secure will be much appreciated. I ran joomscan on my own site, and found:
# 1
Info -> Generic: htaccess.txt has not been renamed.
Versions Affected: Any
Check: /htaccess.txt
Exploit: Generic defenses implemented in .htaccess are not available, so exploiting is more likely to succeed.
Vulnerable? Yes
And I deleted htaccess.txt.....thats the first thing i did after using .htaccess maker.
