Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: Developers Need to Plug Up the FoldersI don’t know what bug is up your $ss, but the forum title clearly states that it is for “Requests and Feedback.”
My concern regarding this issue is a concern across many of my business colleagues and developers of numerous other scripts.
Whether you disagree with that concern or not, you are certainly entitled to that opinion, but the forum is for FEEDBACK for the WP developers.
I didn’t come here looking for debate, to be “scoffed at”, to banter with mods, or to be bullied by a mod who clearly doesn’t understand what professional business behavior is.

In reply to: Developers Need to Plug Up the Folders“They might be misinformed, or ignorant of the facts, or just plain idiots.”
So now you’re calling the developers of Zencart, one of the web’s most popular and widely used open source shopping carts, misinformed or idiots?
Coming here really was a waste of my time, wasn’t it?
I suppose the developers of PHP Link Directory, JROX Jam, and Amember are also misinformed or idiots as well?
WordPress wants feedback and I gave it… as a business professional.
Go ahead and continue your scoffing as you’ve truly shown you are anything but a professional.

In reply to: Developers Need to Plug Up the FoldersApparently the developers over at zencart think it’s serious enough of an issue to address it, having confirmed it with them this afternoon.
I’m sure they didn’t go through all the trouble to include silence is golden files in all their directories for lack of anything else to do.
[quote]I have things locked down but they seem to be scanning for specific plugins and trying to call certain files behind wp-admin and wp-includes.
I can also argue that there are pointed and very specific attempts made on some sites. Consequently, allowing someone to successfully snoop (easily) isnt wise.[/quote]
Exactly.

In reply to: Developers Need to Plug Up the FoldersYou’re kidding, right?
You mean to say that you honestly don’t see the point?
The point is that exposing all of the javascripts, php files, etc. leaves numerous entry points for not only site theft but also hacking, especially when you have plugin folders clearly exposed.
If many other php scripts such as zencart, phplink directory and oscommerce can see this needs to be done, there’s no reason why WordPress shouldn’t be doing the same.
