Spam + htaccess + queries
I've got 6 minutes to talk about three things. Lets go!
Stuart (http://smkz.is-a-geek.net/) just got comment spammed on his website. Spammers target wordpress, movable type a lot because they are very popular and widely used. The comments submit form is standard across multiple sites meaning bots can target these. Course of action? Do what josh did, http://www.joahua.com/blog/2004/09/22/my-new-blacklist
htaccess. If you want to protect a folder from directory listing in apache add [b]Options -Indexes[/b] to your .htaccess file. Better than a blank index file any day :p
Queries counter can now be found at the bottom of this page. Need to talk about that later...
