sorry i should've been more clear, i meant by a particular user, like if i wanted to find out what if that one hack you installed

[filburt1]

Do you mean how many hacks a certain user has installed, or how many users have installed a certain hack?

[mheinemann]

I think he means in the profile (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=28055) where it says "# Of Hacks sabret00the Installed: 23 ", he would like to be able to see which hacks that user installed. Similar to "Hacks _______ released".

[Tony G]

Ahh, well AFAIK there is no way you can see a list of what they've installed.

[mheinemann]

And it might not be a good idea to let everyone know what hacks you have installed on your boards.

*move*

hmm, i don't think this will be added, because some hacks can also have some security risks, so it's not so good when you see who has installed what...

but there is a possibility to let at least the author in his support thread know if a user has installed this hack..

[sabret00the]

cool, thanks for the help guys :D

what's AFAIK btw :s

[Xanthine]

Pal, eveybody can already see who installed a hack by following the relevant link (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/misc.php?s=&action=whoinstalled&threadid=48085) in hack database, can't he?

[Nietzsche]

Yes you are right, but it makes it easier for a potential hacker...

Lets say i want to hack into your site, then i have to know the hacks you've installed, but it's a lot of work to find out by going through each hack and look if you've installed it ;)

hehehe... if someone wants to break into your board, all he needs to do is to check footer of your board, then visit here (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?forumid=19) and voila! He has just discovered the best "hack a vbulletin site" library in the world (safe to say supported by the best vb experts as well!) and he has now much more info than he needs.. :p

BTW. You forget to switch nicks pal.. :)

[Xenon]

yes, in that cas you're right pal :)

but why make it easier for em *gg* ;)

ok, let's transfer the threadquestion: is it really wanted/needed?

[Tony G]

Invasion of privacy maybe? :p

[Erwin]

Xenon, old age is catching up! You're forgetting to log out and log in again! ;)

[Xenon]

it looks like, erwin ;)

well, hav to go to sleep on midday now ^^ ;)

@Dexter: hmm, privacy is also an argument, right..

[mheinemann]

I still kinda wonder who installed this one https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39142

[Slynderdale]

Heres my idea, add an option in user cp -> options or something like that to allow others to be able to view what hacks they installed or not, so if they want to keep there privacy then can choose not to show there hacks to the public.
