Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.
You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.
What is this endpoint?
.htaccess
Apache Configuration
What an attacker could do
Discloses rewrite rules, access restrictions, authentication directives, and protected directory locations, helping an attacker bypass controls or locate hidden resources.
How to defend it
Configure the server to deny serving files beginning with .ht (Apache does this by default; verify the directive is intact) and prefer main config over per-directory .htaccess.
