Hi,
I see where you are going with this, though from experience I can say that hackers don’t care about permissions. 🙂
Once hacker has installed a back door script, they can simply change all permissions, or delete all files for that matter, without a second thought.
I applaud you for clarity of your article, though though this may not help inpreventing hackers from modifying or deleting files. A range of other precautions are needed to fully protect against hackers, including ensuring a solid backup of all files is maintained (for ready recovery).
May it can be overwritten by using remote scripts. This is one of a securing method to prevent hacking. Also this will help not to crawl the bot inside it. You have to secure files using .htaccess is important. Anyhow the method helps to know the better directory permissions.
