Prevent Hackers?!

[THE REAL BLAZE]

Is there a system or firewall i can upload to vb or my ftp to fight against hackers? I have many threats and i want my board to be ready

Dont install hacks, protect your mod and admin folders with htaccess files, keep your vBulletin up to the newest build.

Here's some things you can do to increase the level of security for your forums:

1. Upgrade to the latest version.
2. Do not install any hacks
3. Password protect your Admin and Mod CPs: http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess.shtml
4. Make sure the getadmin.php (vB2) or tools.php (vB3) file is NOWHERE on your website
5. If you have phpMyAdmin make sure it's password protected.
6. Also ask your host to change the login password for your account
7. Change all your Admin and Mod passwords.
