Password Protecting a Directory

[mark6188]

@raymor
You really did a good job dissecting my question. You are correct in that I don't intend to make a members area. You are also correct in that I would not use a dictionary password, but something more like the first letter of all my friends and family put together with the several numbers that when said together "sound" like a whole word. I typically use passwords of 20 alphanumeric characters.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I understand now why and where the encryption is needed.

I do need to get more creative with my directory structure. Once I get a feel for building adult sites in the kind of volume needed, I should be able to reduce the predictability factor.

I like the idea of a script the tracks and/or blocks ip, even if I know that they will never crack my password with brute force. I've had my host shut down at least one site because someone decided to attack it.

On a related note: What would be nice is if all commercial sites(not just adult) would just block all the ips of anonymous proxy sites. Probably would turn the economy around almost overnight.
