Mesmer Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Would it be possible to produce a script wicht checks the chmod setting of all ipb-files? It seems like a lot of problems people have are because of the wrong chmod setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_C Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Nice idea. :D Take a look at http://www.michaelcorcoran.info/invisionmo...chmod_check.php, I CHMODed style_emoticons back to 0755 for demonstration. The sourcecode is at http://www.michaelcorcoran.info/invisionmo...hmod_check.phps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellawella Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Question - is it possible to open up security holes by incorrectly chmoding files/directories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krocheck Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Having this built into the home page of the ACP would be nice - just a simple check and printout. Keith Edit: would help if I write complete sentences :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_C Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Question - is it possible to open up security holes by incorrectly chmoding files/directories? Well if files are writeable and someone gains access to the system then they can overwrite them, that's how the phpBB worm that circulated a while ago did its damage.
