10 Smart Ways To Protect Your Blog From Hackers

by

It’s an unfortunate reality of the Internet today that there are people out there who would like to hack your WordPress blog. It’s possible that you may have made an enemy who would like to get back at you by hacking your site, but more frequently hackers are simply looking for an easy target. Here are 10 ways to ensure that you aren’t that easy target.

  • Upgrade WordPress: Perhaps you have wondered why WordPress releases a new version of its software every few weeks. Thousands of people go over the Wordpres code every day in an effort to improve it. A lot of the time, they are trying to plug up security vulnerabilities which hackers have figured out how to exploit. By upgrading regularly, you can be sure that you have all the latest security fixes.






  • Update Plugins: Many times, hackers will figure out how to gain access to your blog through a vulnerability in one of your plugins. The creators of these plugins often release updates that are more secure, which is something you should take advantage of by updating them regularly.







  • Hide Your Plugins: If the hackers don’t know which plugins you have, then they won’t know where to begin trying to hack your site. The way they find out which plugins you have is by looking in your  /wp-content/plugins directory. If you create a blank document, save it as index.html, and upload it to this directory, you can prevent anyone from accessing this information. Alternatively you can block the standard file list from showing with .htaccess.






  • Get Rid of “Admin”: Do you still use “admin” as your username to log into your account?
    If so, you are making things much easier for hackers. If they know the username of your administer’s account, then hackers already have half of the information they need to break into your account.






  • Stronger Password: If your password is something like “wood floor”, then it can be extremely easy for hackers to guess. They can often simply use a program which guesses your password based on dictionary entries. Create a lengthy password made up of upper and lower case letters, numbers and characters in no particular order and avoiding dictionary words.






  • Login Securely: One way that hackers will steal your password is by intercepting it through the network while it is on its way to WordPress. You can solve this problem by installing theChap Secure Login plugin. This plugin will automatically encrypt your password when you login, so the hackers will only be able to see your username.






  • Remove Your Version Information: Often, hackers will attack your site based on the version of WordPress you are running. If they don’t know which version you are running, they won’t know how to attack your site. Install WP Security Scan to remove the identifying code from the header and feeds.






  • Prevent Brute Force Attacks: One of the simplest ways for hackers to break into your account is to try different passwords over and over until they find one that works. The easiest way to prevent this is to use the Login LockDown plugin. If someone fails to guess the correct password 3 times within a 5 minute period, this plugin will prevent them from even trying again for the next hour.






  • Scan for Security Holes: The WP Security Scan plugin will automatically scan your blog and let you know if there are any problems with it that you should consider fixing. It lets you quickly change your files permissions, verify your htaccess file, and detect break-in attempts.






  • Get Maximum Security: Currently in beta, Maximum Security is a full featured security platform for WordPress blogs. This plugin will allow you to prevent hackers from browsing all your site’s files and adjust your firewall settings. It can be a full time job keeping your site secure and free from hackers. If you implement some of these tips, much of the work can be done for you automatically.

    Create Separate Profiles in Google Chrome for Family Members

    Create Separate Profiles in Google Chrome for Family Members
    Google Chrome 16 lets you create multiple user accounts but if you want to keep your web history and passwords hidden from other Chrome users, you need to create a separate profile as explained in the following tutorial.
    If you have a common computer at home that you share with other family members, how do you ensure that your web browsing history in Google Chrome stays private and others don�t get to know what you search or which sites you visited from that computer?
    Google Chrome does include support for user profiles now. You can create separate profiles for family members and then their bookmarks, passwords, themes and other Chrome settings won�t be visible to anyone else. For instance, if you install the ESPN app inside your Chrome user profile, that app won�t be available to mom when she uses Chrome with her own user profile.

    Why You Need Separate Profiles in Google Chrome

    There�s however one big limitation with user profiles in Google Chrome. It won�t hide your web history from other users even if you have signed out of your Google Account. Anyone can switch to your user profile in Chrome (see screenshot above) and they�ll have instant access to your complete web browsing and search history with Ctrl + H and even from the browser�s address bar.
    If someone inadvertently switches to your user profile in Google Chrome, it can become a slightly embarrassing situation for either of you. You can however create separate user profiles, and not just users, in Google Chrome and then your browser history, bookmarks, search terms, etc. won�t be visible to anyone else in the family. Read on.

    How to Create Profiles in Google Chrome Browser

    Unlike Firefox that ships with a Profile Manager, you can only manually create user profiles in Google Chrome. Here’s how:
    Step 1: Launch Google Chrome and use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Del to clear your entire web browsing history.
    Step 2: Open Windows Explorer and switch to Chrome’s User Data folder available at:
    For Windows 7 and Windows Vista 
    C:Users<username>AppDataLocalGoogleChromeUser Data 

    For Windows XP 
    C:Documents and Settings<username>Local SettingsApplication DataGoogleChromeUser Data
    chrome-profileStep 3: While inside Windows Explorer, select the subfolder called “default” and make a copy of that folder inside the same “User Data” folder of Chrome. Rename that new folder copy to, say, Your_Name as shown in the screenshot.
    Step 4: We will now reset this new “Your_Name” profile in Chrome to the factory defaults. Open “Command Prompt”, use the �cd� command to switch to the Chrome Application folder (where Chrome is installed) and run the following command:
    chrome.exe --user-data-dir="..User DataYour_Name" -first-run
    Step 5: Your new user profile in Chrome is ready for use. To run Google Chrome using this profile instead of the default profile, let�s create a shortcut. Right click anywhere on the desktop, choose New -> Shortcut and type the following in the location box:
    For Windows 7 and Vista:
    C:Users<user>AppDataLocalGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe --user-data-dir="..User DataYour_Name"

    For Windows XP:
    C:Documents and Settings<user>Local SettingsApplication DataGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe --user-data-dir="..User DataYour_Name"
    chrome-iconsGive this shortcut a �hard to guess� name, change the shortcut icon to, say, Microsoft Word and you’re done. Now your web history, bookmarks, cookies, and search terms won�t be visible to anyone else in the family and there�s no need to switch to incognito browsing mode ever.
