I want a protected place the place I can retailer knowledge about initiatives that I’m engaged on. This knowledge contains textual content and recordsdata (photos, sound and video).
I need to create a personal “weblog” for this purpouse that’s accessible solely on my own.
The rationale behind that is that I can entry the information from wherever, the answer is platform unbiased, looking out the information ought to be straightforward utilizing the WordPress search bar and metadata might be added to all of the uploaded recordsdata.
My solely concern is safety – what are my choices in securing the contents of the net repository?
The issues I’m nonetheless dealing with:
If somebody breaks previous .htpasswd (by brute forcing it, is there a approach to block entry to the server for a day after a number of tries at htpasswd?) all uploaded recordsdata (photographs, sounds and films) might be accessed if the attacker can guess the direct url for the file.
My imaginative and prescient is to make use of .htaccess for 80% of the safety measures – it’s WordPress unbiased and may survive software program upgrades.
However I’m actually not sure about all of the potential holes that I’ve to plug in WordPress.
Are you able to level out different safety points that I’ve missed and ,ideally, additionally an answer for them?
