WordPress Plugin for Apache .htaccess Security

Askapache Password Protect Security Features

Brand New Features for 4.x

  1. gzip's previous .htaccess file and sends it as an attachment to the logged in users email account along with password user setup.
  2. Provides a AA_PP_DEBUG constant that you can set to 1 for verbose debugging
  3. Now also works for sites running on SSL (PHP version >4.3.0)
  4. Rewrote the security module code in the form of snort, nessus, and mod_security rules and signatures
  5. Added a *real* check to see if mod_rewrite is installed
  6. Added Modules that remove directoryindexes
  7. Added Module to require SSL (only enabled for SSL blogs, so you don't shoot yourself in the foot)
  8. Added Module that only allows certain REQUEST_METHOD in the request
  9. Much more on the way..
