The first question you should ask, is how are hackers able to write to your .htaccess file? That is your main problem. If you are having outside malicious users writing stuff into your .htaccess file, then allowing or disallow cgi access is the least of your problems. Alternatively, look into setting AllowOverride to None (assuming that you are using Apache). http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod...#allowoverride
