A Few Basic Security Rules for Joomla Website

If a person follows these few simple rules the majority of site hacks will not happen.

1.) Use a decent hosting provider. Cheap is not necessarily bad, and expensive is not necessarily good. Do your research. Take a few minutes to search for and read comments and reviews left by other users.

2.) If you don't need it for your sites functionality then don't install it. If you do need it for your sites functionality, take a few minutes to search for and read comments and reviews left by other users of that software to make sure you’re not getting more than you bargained for by installing the software.

3.) If you installed it then keep it updated. The hackers are constantly looking for outdated, security compromised software to exploit. Save yourself a lot of work, and don't become a statistic, update!!

4.) If you no longer need it for your sites functionality, then remove it. This includes any files that may be left behind after uninstalling extensions. It is easy to forget about things no longer in use. Remove those things before a hacker finds them for you! You can always reinstall it if needed later.

5.) Back it up and test those backups to make sure they work properly before you need them, not when you need to depend on one.

6.) Avoid updating software on your laptop or other mobile device while you are using a wired or wireless network that is untrusted and public. This means those free (and paid) Wi-Fi networks like those that are available in hotels, and coffee shops, public libraries and so on. Also avoid updating software using a tethered connection through your smart phone. Many laptops, phones and other mobile devices will automatically switch over to available Wi-Fi networks if the 3G/4G signal dies. Malicious software could be downloaded while using such untrusted networks and connections and infect your laptop or mobile device (tablet) and thus infecting your website(s) or stealing passwords used for website access.

Yes, there are many things one can add, but they pretty much all fit into these few rules.

If your not willing to follow these few rules, then hire someone who will follow these rules. Everyone will be happier in the long run.

10 Tips to Secure Your Joomla Site

Joomla is undoubtedly one of the best CMS available in the market. As more and more websites have started using Joomla, its important that the site is configured properly to prevent any security compromises. I have compiled 10 security tips to secure your joomla website.

1. Proper Hosting Environment

A properly configured server is highly recommended for your joomla website. Host your site on a server that runs PHP in CGI mode with su_php. This means that PHP runs under your own account user instead of the global Apache user and you don’t need to set insecure global permissions like CHMOD of 777.

a. Set register_globals OFF
b. Disable allow_url_fopen
c. Adjust the magic_quotes_gpc directive as needed for your site. The recommended setting for Joomla! 1.0.x is ON to protect against poorly-written extensions. Joomla! 1.5 ignores this setting and works fine either way.
d. Don’t use PHP safe_mode

2. Change the Default Database Prefix (jos_)

While installation, change the default database prefix to something random. This will prevent most of the SQL injection attacks as hackers try to retrive superadmin details from jos_users table.

3. Disable FTP Layer

While installation, dont enable the FTP layer as it opens up a potential security hole since your FTP details are stored in plain text under a Joomla! configuration file. FTP layer is not required if your hosting is secured and configured properly for Joomla.

4. Change superadministrator username

After installation, change the username for the super-administrator. By default, its admin. So change it something like ravi.chamria so that the username/password combination becomes difficult to guess or crack.

5. Strong password

Always use strong password for the administrator accounts. An example of strong password is E@^M!$<9@k. You can use sites like www.strongpasswordgenerator.com to generate a strong password.

A good addition is to password protect the administrator folder. In apache web server, you can do this htaccess file or in cpanel, you can use Password Protected Directory option to setup a password. This will add another layer of username/password before someone reaches your Joomla admin details. Needless to say, have this password different from Joomla admin password.

6. Enable SEF URLs

Most hackers use the Google inurl: command to search for a vulnerable exploit. So enable SEF urls from site configuration if you are using Joomla 1.5. You can also use extensions like SH404SEF for both Joomla 1.0 and Joomla 1.5. This will prevent hackers from finding the exploits as well as benefit you in SEO perspective.

7. Upgrade to latest release of Joomla

Always upgrade to the latest release of Joomla as soon as possible. Always download Joomla! from official sites, such as the Joomla! Forge, and check the MD5 hash

8 Third party extensions

There are more than 4000 extensions available for Joomla many of which are non-commercial. But dont take this as an opportunity to install unnecessary extensions on your website. Remember that most hacking attempts occur due to vulnerability in these extensions. So, always use extensions which are popular, has strong community backing and development process.

9. Proper file/folder permissions

The proper file/folder permissions for your joomla website is:

* PHP files: 644
* Config files: 666
* Other folders: 755

You can CHMOD the files and folders using your FTP client.

10. Setup a backup and recovery process

Always rely on a strong backup and recovery protocol for your live website. Its not just hacking that may compromise your website but other factors like a faulty upgrade or extension install, hardware failure, hosting provider issues. You can use JoomlaPack, a non-commercial component native for both Joomla 1.0 and 1.5 for backup.

Secure Your Joomla Before They Are Hacked

I have some tips to secure your Joomla website.


* Follow the Joomla Administrator's Security Checklist
The guys at joomla.org have put together a Joomla Administrator's Security Checklist - use it and secure your Joomla site as much as possible using the guidelines.

* Install the jSecure Authentication plugin
Every Joomla back-end has the same URL. If you install a security plugin, you can add a suffix to your back-end URL to make it look like this: http://www.yoursite.com/administrator?helloworld
If the URL is not entered with a correct suffix, the site will redirect to a 404 (not found) page. Change the suffix regularly. The plug-in is $4.99 and it's worth it!
Buy and download the jSecure Authentication plugin here

* Don't use the jos_ prefix
The standard prefix for Joomla tables are jos_. However, many security exploits rely on your database tables being called jos_XXXXXX.
By simply using your own prefix you would have been protected from these exploits.
It should also be unique for every site.
Read more about this over at the blog of Brian Teeman.

* Change your admin user
The default ID for the admin user in Joomla is always 62, and this may be used by a hacker. To avoid this, do the following:

# Create a new super-administrator with another user name and a strong password
# Log out and in again as this new user
# Change the original admin user to a manager and save (you are not allowed to delete a super-administrator).
# Now, delete the original admin user (user ID 62).

* Create a unique passwords from a combination of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols. For instance WsHc3_#7
Use an Online Password Generator to make the process easier.

* Change your username and password often At least every 3 months.

* Don't use the root user in mySQL as the user of your database
You should always create a new database user when installing a new site, and give rights to the new database only. This way, the user will only have access to the specific site. If not, you can have one site hacked and the rest are wide open as well...

* Always update to the latest Joomla version

With this module we can create a browsable magazine with few clicks.
The module is based on Flash application developed by IpariGrafika.

The module supports following formats: .JPG, .GIF, .PNG and .SWF.

Documentation :

- Install the module using the Joomla! installer.

- Create a new folder in "modules/mod_RD_flipping_pages/books" and put pages inside it. The images will be loaded in alphabetical order, so you need to name files in the order in which they appear.

- Set the option "Update XML" and click "Apply" to save the setting.

- Go to the front end of the site, navigate to the page where the module is published, and then refresh the page. At this point a warning message will appear confirming the updates of the XML file. If the file is not written, you will see an error message, in this case you must change the permissions of the folder "modules/mod_RD_flipping_pages/pageflip/xml" making the folder writable.

- Go back in the management of the module and disable "Update XML".

Cara Setting SEO URL Link Pada Joomla

Artikel ini akan membahas konfigurasi SEO di Joomla dengan menggunaan setting SEO bawaan dari Joomla. Penggunaan SEO di Joomla sangat disarankan karena dapat mempermudah search engine seperti Google atau Yahoo mengenali keyword dari artikel yang ditampilkan di web Joomla. Selain itu juga mempermudah orang untuk mengingat alamat halaman web favoritnya.

Contoh URL sebelum mengaktifkan setting SEO Joomla

http://namadomain/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19&Itemid=27

Contoh URL setelah menggunakan setting SEO Joomla

http://namadomain/joomla-overview

Joomla SEO Settings

Mengaktifkan SEO bawaan dari Joomla dapat dilakukan melalui halaman administrator > Site > Global Configuration. Opsi ini terletak tab Site. Opsi ini terdiri dari 3 pilihan, yaitu:

> Search Engine Friendly URLs, untuk mengoptimasi url web Joomla supaya bisa dibaca oleh search engine dan manusia. 

> Use Apache mod_rewrite, untuk menyempurnakan penggunaan opsi Search Engine Friendly URLs. 

> Add suffix to URLs, untuk menambahkan akhiran untuk alamat halaman web Joomla.
Aktifkan opsi Search Engine Friendly URLs dan Use Apache mod_rewrite.

Untuk opsi Add suffix to URLs bersifat opsional. Kalau anda mengaktifkan opsi ini, alamat url anda akan mendapatkan suffix .html

============================ >

Catatan:

Mengaktifkan opsi diatas harus diikuti perubahan htaccess.txt menjadi .htaccess silahkan diarahkan mouse anda ke ikon tanda seru berwarna kuning, nanti akan muncul tulisan:

WARNING!::Apache users only! Rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess before activating.

Menggunakan .htaccess :
Anda harus mengganti file htaccess.txt menjadi .htaccess (pakai titik sebelum tulisan htaccess). Caranya silahkan ikuti arahan dibawah ini.

Login ke cPanel > File Manager, cari file htaccess.txt yang terletak di tempat file-file Joomla.
Rename file “htaccess.txt” menjadi “.htaccess” (pakai tanda titik sebelum tulisan htaccess)

============================ >
URL SEO

Setelah selesai step diatas, buka web dan menu web anda. Nanti akan muncul url seperti dibawah ini.

Dengan Opsi Add suffix to URLs

http://namadomain/joomla-overview.html

Tanpa Opsi Add suffix to URLs

http://namadomain/joomla-overview 

Demikianlah akhir tutorial ini, semoga Anda bisa menggunakan fitur SEO bawaan dari Joomla tanpa mengalami masalah.

Tutorial Backup Website Joomla!

Apa yang akan anda lakukan jika website mengalami kerusakan? jawabnya tentu memperbaikinya lagi. Lantas apa yang akan anda lakukan jika sebagian atau bahkan seluruh file rusak / hilang ? Jawabnya tentu membuat dari awal lagi bukan ? bayangkan seberapa banyak waktu terbuang, pikiran yang tercurah dan yang lebih gawat lagi jika website telah terindex maka jika anda memutuskan untuk membuatnya lagi makan tidak heran akan banyak bertebaran 404 page not found dan SEO pun akhirnya terpengaruh.

Agar terhindar dari masalah tersebut anda harus membuat backup website. Guna dari backup ini adalah untuk merestore lembali file website yang telah anda buat pada saat sebelum mengalami kerusakan.

Terdapat bermacam-macam cara membuat backup yang dapat dilakukan diantaranya adalah :

1. Menggunakan fitur backup di cpanel webhosting
2. Mendownload file dan database
3. Menggunakan component backup

Cara termudah untuk membackup adalah dengan menggunakan fitur backup yang ada pada cpanel webhosting anda. Berikut cara membackup website joomla dari cpanel webhosting :

Full Backup

Full backup ini adalah membackup seluruh isi cpanel hosting yakni, file, database, email dan semua file termasuk file subdomain, add on domain yang ada didalamnya.

Login ke Cpanel : http://www.namadomain.tld/cpanel lalu masukan username dan password baru kemudian klik icon backup. (lihat gambar di bawah )

Klik Icon Backup

Klik tombol Download or Generate a Full Website Backup

Pilih Home Directory lalu ketikan emai notification lanjutkan dengan klik Generate Backup

Backup dengan cara ini memamg menyita space hard disk web hosting anda karena seluruh file backup disimpan di root directory webhosting. Hasil dari backup ini adalah semua file cpanel termasuk database akan tersimpan di root hosting anda. Agar tidak menyita space harddisk sebaiknya anda download file backup tersebut lalu disimpan ditempat yang aman di PC anda.

Local Backup

Local backup adalah hanya mendownload file yang berhubungan denga salah satu domain saja yang ada pada directory public_html.

Setelah login cpanel klik icon file manager lalu klik tombol select all :

Klik tombol compress dan namai sesuai tanggal atau sesuai dengan keinginan agar mudah diketahui waktu dan tanggal pembuatan backup tersebut. (ingat pilih file .zip pada saat mengkompress file-file tersebut).

Langkah selanjutnya adalah dengan mendownload database yang ada pada phpmyadmin caranya setelah login ke cpanel klik icon phpmyadmin lalu pilih database yang anda gunakan lalu klik export untuk mendownload seluruh isi database tersebut.

Lakukan backup secara berkala terutama ketika anda telah mengupdate isi website agar hasil backup selalu update.

7. Pilih Original Image untuk menampilkan favicon.

Mengganti Halaman Admin Joomla! Dengan KSecure

Sambil Menanti BigMatch antara InterMilan Versus Juventus, saya ingin sedikit berbagi tips security Joomla! kembali. Jika pada postingan sebelumnya saya membahas tentang celah keamanan pada fitur reset Joomla!, maka kali ini saya ingin memberi tips bagaimana cara mengganti halaman default admin pada web joomla!

Biasanya halaman default admin pada joomla! adalah : "http://www.contoh.com/administrator"

Sedikit riskan jika halaman administrator web Joomla! Anda dibiarkan seperti itu.. karena hacker selalu memiliki seribu cara untuk memanfaatkan celah kemananan sekecil apapun yang terdapat pada website Anda. Jika itu terjadi, berdoa saja jika hacker tersebut adalah seorang yang gentle yang tidak sembarangan mengacak" data semau mereka. (Remember Ethical Hacking)

Cara Disable Fitur Reset Password Admin Joomla!

Postingan pertama setelah kesekian kalinya ganti template dan nama blog pula :))

Kali ini saya akan membahas sedikit tips mengamankan fitur reset password pada web berbasis CMS Joomla! 1.5. Fitur reset password ini seringkali dimanfaatkan oleh para hacker untuk menyusup ke halaman admin dengan cara memasukan token yang mereka cari dengan Google Dork berikut : 

"http://namasitus/index.php?option=com_user&view=reset"

atau 

"allinurl:option=com_user "

Joomla Extension - Simple Image Gallery

The bretteleben.de "Very Simple Image Gallery" Plugin for Joomla! 1.5 and Joomla! 1.6 is a downgrade of the ingenious plugin "Simple Image Gallery" from Fotis Evangelou und George Chouliaras back to a "Web 1.0" gallery. The modified version comes without a lightbox, the plugin shows one large image, followed by thumbnails.

Why? Look, as stylish and usability-oriented the whole category of "Web 2.0" galleries may be, they have - from my point of view - a serious disadvantage. The hide the web page from the visitor. If you run ads on your site, this is a not-so-desired effect. You don´t care about search engine optimization, keywords, backlinks and so on to see your banners, skyscrapers, rectangles and link blocks disappear behind a black curtain - out of sight and unclickable.

Features:

- supports .jpg, .png und .gif
- can be aligned in your content item left, right, centered, float left or float right
- thumbnails optional below, left or right of the main image
- optional split galleries into multiple sets
- as many galleries per content item as you want
- every gallery can be configured individually (Parameter Overrides)
- optional show title and/or text with every single picture (Captions)
- optional show default title/text for the whole gallery
- optional link every single image to a different target (Links)
- optional use a default link for the whole gallery
- optional link the image to the original image file
- scale thumbnails optional proportionally or cropped
- works with and without JavaScript
- does not require a JavaScript Framework (Mootools, JQery)!
- change main image onClick or onHover

Joomla Extensions - Set Generator Tag

Set Generator Tag plugin allows you to change to default Joomla! generator meta tag to anything you like! With this plugin you do not have to modify neither template's nor Joomla!'s core files. Install it, configure it and you are ready!

So far, the most common way to change the generator meta tag is to modify the index.php file of your current template. But if you change template then you will have to modify the new index.php file again. Set Generator Tag does not depend on templates nor it modifies any of their files. Feel free to change as many templates as you want. The generator meta tag will remain intact.

Another way to change the generator meta tag is to modify a Joomla!'s core file. But by doing so you are risking of losing the modification when you upgrade Joomla! to a newer version. No more worries with the Set Generator Tag.

Plugin has been updated to be compatible with Joomla! 1.6. Please make sure that you download the correct file for your version of Joomla!.
