Mesmer Posted September 27, 2005 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.
Michael_C Posted September 27, 2005 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.
beeman Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 you mean like php's global function is_writable()
ellawella Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Question - is it possible to open up security holes by incorrectly chmoding files/directories?
krocheck Posted September 28, 2005 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
Michael_C Posted September 28, 2005 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.
