Hi Everyone,
This is an usual use case.
I am an admin on the VM that hosts our Mediawiki. Our wiki used to
allows ZIP uploads from the web but its not functioning at the moment.
As an alternate procedure I would like to scp a ZIP file to my home
directory, and then manually cp it into wiki. I'm not clear on the
directory structure:
# find images/ -name '*.zip'
images/3/3a/GCM-AEAD-Test.zip
images/3/3a/Cryptest-sh.zip
images/7/7c/Oids.zip
images/7/75/Twofish-CBC-Filter.zip
images/7/77/SEC1.zip
images/7/77/Blowfish-CTR-Filter.zip
images/7/74/IDEA-CTR-Filter.zip
images/0/07/Mersenne.zip
images/0/09/AES_RNG.zip
...
My questions are, (1) what is the directory structure I should use
when performing the manual copy (how do I determine the intermediate
directories)? Or, (2) what is the procedure to perform a manual copy
(if I don't need to worry about the directory structure)?
The use case is unusual because we could not find a Mediawiki security
and hardening guide. We got a little overzealous and broke uploads
during our effort to harden Apache, PHP and Mediawiki. At this point I
know its more than ModSecurity because disabling it does not resolve
the issue. Its no big deal to me since I can scp and cp files as
needed.
(And please don't get distracted about broken uploads from the web
interface. I don't care about that problem, and it probably provides
us a better security posture. I am happy to live with it).
Thanks in advance.
Jeff
