    I noticed a bunch of people asking how to handle their website defacement, so I figured I would release an article I wrote about 2 years ago for your reading pleasure, and of course so that you can learn how to handle a defacement :)

    Sorry but its a poor one.Most of the attacks become dangerous cos of permission problems.Patching the system is the last thing you should do.Also securing the tmp n kernel of the system is the first thing you should do.Because local holes are more dangerous then remote ones.

    Well that all depends on what kind of access you have to your webserver. In general the docment was to cover shared hosting, and securing your end (ie. web applications, which as mentioned can be attributed for 75% of all web server intrustions. So how you can undermind the importance of Web Application Security is beyond me). And I highly doubt any user on a shared host will have access to the kernel ;)

    But thanks for your feedback, it's appreciated :)
