It is indeed set to inactive in the original files. :) I would not enable it unless BOP says to do so.

Thanks for the response Ozzy :up:

Not a problem. :)

It was developed for the purpose of renaming register.php. :D I am unaware of any exploit in register.php and even if there was, this would not fix it, just rename it.

Yep, Joe, got it.....

I too use the mod for the purpose of renaming the register.php...
It does what it says on the tin! :cool:

It is me who has a ticket regarding the host passing on logs to be investigated by vb and so far we haven't heard anything back.

Anyways let me clarify for this mod that the attack happened before installing this mod so it has nothing to do with "Rename register.php by BOP5".

This mod was installed afterwards and it is simple to install and works as its suppose to so don't worry about the mod as again it was installed AFTER the attack on register.php :)

This was easy to install and works great! I also use Spam o Matic which works great also, but I was getting tons of threads I was having to review for moderation. Ever since I have changed the name of register.php, I have not had a single spammer bot register. MOTM nominated!

Thanks!

I use the above mentioned also...and Spam hammer, I have had nothing at all register. no users, no bots, nothing....

I guess I should create more content?

Spam hammer does discard a lot of crap... It works...
Spam o Matic has proved that it works also..

BOP5 mods also do exactly what they are designed to do...

These folks protect and enhance...

I love this mod , believe me when I say that everyone should use this now ! ...thank you BOP5 !

I have to say that the idea is simple in itself and at the same time, quite brilliant..
It should hold them off for a while..:up:
