I have setup a new centos 7.
I have installed
yum install php72u-fpm
yum install nginx -y



Next I did was to change the root folder in the config file in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf. to /var/www/html.



server_name _;
 root /var/www/html;

 # Load configuration files for the default server block.
 include /etc/nginx/default.d/*.conf;

 location / 
 

 error_page 404 /404.html;
 location = /40x.html 
 

 error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
 location = /50x.html 
 
 }


Next I created a new folder /var/www/html/test
and I gave nginx the permission chown -R nginx.nginx /var/www/html/test/
So then I got to my http://.../test/ I get 403 forbidden and I check the error log what I get is this.



2018/04/11 14:43:47 [error] 24229#0: *10 directory index of "/var/www/html/test/" is forbidden, client: *.*.*.*, server: _, request: "GET /test/ HTTP/1.1", host: "*.*.*.*"


But to my surprise when I run this command for e.g. http://.../test/page1.php it gets download to my local machine this is definitely a security issue right? How to block this from happening?

  • Do you want to protect all of the files in the test directory or all files with a .php extension?

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
