Re: Directory Scanner

[Steven <swierckxlists () gmail com>]

To start with:

1. Make sure the directory listing is not available (so going to 
http://.../resources should not give me a list of files)
2. Make sure the folder is not indexed by google (or scripts like 
Metagoofil will get all the documents anyway)
3. Make sure this directory listing of documents is not anywhere on your 
website

Of course this will also prevent you from serving this data to your 
visitors (since you can't give them a list), basically if you do not 
want everyone to have access to these files you should not put them on 
your website ...

Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate
In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.  We look at how SSL works, how 
it benefits your company and how your customers can tell if a site is secure. You will find out how to test, purchase, 
install and use a thawte Digital Certificate on your Apache web server. Throughout, best practices for set-up are 
highlighted to help you ensure efficient ongoing management of your encryption keys and digital certificates.
