Last two days of internship. I guess they want to squeeze every bit of my life force… I do not even have time to upgrade to WP 2.6

Oh yes… the password for the protected post should be quite obvious for those who have seen it.

Ok maybe the term ‘hardening’ is not exactly right since it is usually done on a more complex system. Nevertheless, after the incident where my blog is hacked by unknown attacker or two, I become a little bit paranoid. Thanks to Holy Shmoly, there is somewhat a definite guide on how to ‘harden’ your wordpress site.

The latter part of the article is a bit… technical but try to do at least the ‘Secret code’ part and ‘upgrade’ (preferably clean upgrade) and change ‘password’. I believe those three steps are sufficient for most of you.

Nevertheless, fell free to do all the steps mentioned (including installing IDS). I believe it will be an enriching experience.

In any case, random secret key generator can be found here.
