Sometimes the difference between a more hardened setup and a weaker one comes down to understanding how the server responds to requests for internal paths, and then adding the right .htaccess rules to make the restriction explicit.

In this case, I was reviewing the classic include-only hardening rule for wp-includes and wp-admin/includes and comparing what happens when that protection is present versus when it is not.

What I like about this kind of work is that it sits right at the intersection of development and security. It is not only about building websites that work, but also about understanding how they behave under the hood and making them more resilient.

As a web developer, I enjoy digging into things like:
WordPress hardening
server-side behavior
htaccess rules
plugin and theme risk surfaces
HTTP status analysis
practical security improvements without overloading a site with unnecessary plugins

It is a good reminder that web development is not just about front-end design or functionality. It is also about building websites that are stable, secure, and intentionally configured.

Have you ever tested how your own WordPress site responds when internal core files are requested directly?

I break down the full comparison, the meaning of the rewrite rules, and why 404, 403, and 200 matter in my latest YouTube video. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/eBqVKa28

Due to many requests, I’ve created a tutorial on how to apply for a Bridging Visa B (BVB) so you can travel outside Australia while waiting for your substantive visa to be approved.

This tutorial is based on my successful application for a Bridging Visa B without submitting any plane tickets or travel bookings. I share exactly how I approached it and what worked for me.

In this tutorial, I discussed about how to apply a skills assessment in ACS and also share some real-time example of documents I submitted during my application. Fortunately, I was able to get two positive results for my ANZCO code. Feel free to shoot me a question at [email protected]
