I was looking up information on .htaccess and .htpasswd when I came across a link that described how to leverage .htaccess for persistence with a backdoor. It piqued my curiosity but after playing around with it for a few minutes, I couldn't get it to work. I did some Googling and I still couldn't figure out whether or not the post had old information, was incorrect, or what. But then after thinking about it, I realized, it was far too complicated for what we're really trying to accomplish.
Odds are pretty good that someone is going to dig through their .htaccess file sooner than say some random .txt file that ends up in the webroot after install. So let's go that route.
