But in some cases, every little bit of extra security is desirable. </para> <para> A few simple techniques can help to hide PHP, possibly slowing down an attacker who is attempting to discover weaknesses in your system. By setting expose_php = off in your &php.ini; file, you reduce the amount of information available to them. </para> <para> Another tactic is to configure web servers such as apache to parse different filetypes through PHP, either with an &htaccess; directive, or in the apache configuration file itself. You can then use misleading file extensions: <example> <title>Hiding PHP as another language</title> <programlisting role="apache-conf"> <![CDATA[ # Make PHP code look like other code types AddType application/x-httpd-php .asp .py .pl ]]> </programlisting> </example> Or obscure it completely: <example> <title>Using unknown types for PHP extensions</title> <programlisting role="apache-conf"> <![CDATA[ # Make PHP code look like unknown types AddType application/x-httpd-php .bop .foo .133t ]]> </programlisting> </example> Or hide it as HTML code, which has a slight performance hit because all HTML will be parsed through the PHP engine: <example> <title>Using HTML types for PHP extensions</title> <programlisting role="apache-conf"> <![CDATA[ # Make all PHP code look like HTML AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm .html ]]> </programlisting> </example> For this to work effectively, you must rename your PHP files with the above extensions. While it is a form of security through obscurity, it's a minor preventative measure with few drawbacks. </para> </chapter> <!-- Keep this comment at the end of the file Local variables: mode: sgml sgml-omittag:t sgml-shorttag:t sgml-minimize-attributes:nil sgml-always-quote-attributes:t sgml-indent-step:1 sgml-indent-data:t indent-tabs-mode:nil sgml-parent-document:nil sgml-default-dtd-file:"../../manual.ced" sgml-exposed-tags:nil sgml-local-catalogs:nil sgml-local-ecat-files:nil End: vim600: syn=xml fen fdm=syntax fdl=2 si vim: et tw=78 syn=sgml vi: ts=1 sw=1 -->
