Steps to disable website pages download using wget ?

Wget is a network utility to retrieve files from the World Wide Web using HTTP and FTP.It works non-interactively, so it can work in the background, after having logged off. The program supports recursive retrieval of web-authoring pages as well as FTP sites—you can use Wget to make mirrors of archives and home pages or to travel the Web like a WWW robot, checking for broken links.

For disabling wget to grab your site pages then simply add the code below in the .htaccess file under public_html directory [for which you wish to disable the wget grabbing].

===================================
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent “^Wget” bad_bot

Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Deny from env=bad_bot

===================================

Now, if anybody tries to grab info from your website using wget, he will receive a 403 error.

Please check this link to know more information about wget

Steps to disable Telnet in a Server

Telnet is a network protocol used as "bidirectional interactive text-oriented communications" underlying TCP/IP protocol for accessing remote computers.Telnet is unencrypted and sends clear text passwords and usernames through logins and should be disabled on all web servers and replaced with SSH.Some hosting providers are not disabling telnet by default but you should ensure that it has been turned off as it's a great security risk to your servers. TELNET server listens for incoming messages on port 23, and sends outgoing messages to port 23.

1. Login to your server through SSH and su to root.

2. Type pico /etc/xinetd.d/telnet

3. Look for the line: disable = no and replace with disable = yes

4. Now restart the inetd service: /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart

5. Turn off it through chkconfig as well because it can still start through that.
/sbin/chkconfig telnet off

6. Scan your server to ensure port 23 is closed.
nmap -sT -O localhost

Also run ps -aux | grep telnet and if you find anything other than "grep telnet" as result kill the process.
