An .htaccess file is a file that gets processed by Apache (webserver) BEFORE anything else. You can place several instructions inthere, authorization/access stuff but also how directory listings should look, which file should be considered the index etc etc.

 

The easiest will be to use a generator of which several are availalbe:

but there are many others too... this is just one that popped up and looked okay.

We use Hacklog 1.1, an easy to install small script and very effective.

 

Hacklog protect your admin page with username/password.

If you try to hack the password 3 times, the script write your ip to a logfile and notify admin by e mail with all data of the hack.

 

After 3 times you can't login with this ip a definied time.

 

So we think its a great script. Try it
