[users@httpd] Change response status from 403 to 404
Hello,
Is there an easy way to change the response status in the http header from 403 to 404 by configuring the file "httpd.conf"? The reason for doing this is to prevent hackers from guessing forbidden web contents by looking for 403 in the http header of the response.
Thanks,
Xibin

How would that help, and why would it depend on the version of Apache?

Depending on which Version of Apache you are using, mod_headers may be
of assistance

I suggest you read

If you still want to hack it, for example a .asis errordocument.
