Ed,

Apparently you know more about securing a site than the people who run 
it.  At least that's what your message implies.  I have an idea.  When
it's time for the next PLUG meeting, come out of the sewer, show up at
the meeting and offer to help secure the site.

 
Jim,

As a matter of fact, yes, I do know more about securing websites than the people running PLUG, so it seems.

Hey asshole, you don't even know me. Don't get a fucking attitude. As it happens, I HAVE BEEN TO THE MEETINGS, and I HAVE brought up site security. Infact, I've brought it up in the IRC channel as well,  
so before you start being a little prick, know who you're talking to.

Anyways, you wan't some ideas? Ok. How about to start: get the hell away from shared hosting. Second, invest in "hardened-php," third, look into GRSecurity and RBAC. Fourth, strip apache down to only the needed modules. Fifth, don't use shitty CMS's.  

Hey Jim, you happy now asshole?
