I'll make you a deal. If you would like access to my server and admin to check my modifications to the files, just pm me and let me know.

(Chances are that I have made a mistake in modifying the files. I don't think I have successfully installed a hack yet, without needing help...)

We would both benefit if you can get it working.

1. You can confirm that your hack works in a forum running the hacks that mine does.
2. And I could get it working.

Sounds like a good deal, eh? :nervous:

I can check your file edits if you want.

Sure. Check your mailbox. :classic:

Update.

This hack is awesome and works perfect, even with my forum which is heavily modded and has several hacks listed above.

Thanks to EviLS1 for taking the time to check my files. I made an error in uploading the modified files. Other than that, this hack works great.

Definitely an added sense of security!!!

PS - If you have renamed your admincp folder - this hack still works!!!

mm

Good info! Thank you for the update.

but i have the same problem of Mechanical Mind: im running 3.0.3(with init.php patch) with many hacks installed...

i checked my work twice and i readed and tryied the "check list"... still not works..

maybe my problem is the same of Mechanical Mind:
what kind of problem u can discover uploading 2 files?


thanks for assistance :)

He didn't upload the edited files. I can double check your file edits if you want but other than the things on the check list I can't think of anything that would stop it from working. The most common problem that people seem to have is not having the webmaster email set correctly in the admincp.

first of all: thx for reply :D

my webmaster mail is correctly setted up, i made all the points in your "check list" and it seems all ok...

im sure i uploaded the correct edited files(lol), if u want(thx in advance) i can send my 2 files on your email so u can check if i hacked correctly(i verified by myself twice)...

thanks a lot for your time :)

check your PMs..

Awesome hack duder.. thanks.. Worked like a charm on the very first try.

whoops..forgot to click - <install>. done..

Works :)

Very nice...when testing I got locked out of my own forum....works great

I've had the same error. I just did something wron when I installed it..

Was not an error, vb just locked out our IP address when we tried loging in wrong on purpose while testing it.

Ok, everything went well, but there's one problem:

The Password: field in the emails is left blank, so I can't tell what password was used. Any ideas?

always first turn of the strike system if you gonna test "passwordthings"

sorry man, i made a stupid mystake... bug with another hack, not the hack works nicely ;)


thx EvilLS1 :banana:

The only thing I can suggest is re-checking the file edits to make sure nothing was missed. Sorry I can't be more helpful but I can't think of anything else that would cause it unless its conflicting with another hack.

Nope, it still doesn't give the password, and everything was installed flawlessly. The password used is the ONLY thing about this hack that doesn't work.

Super easy to install and works great. Thank you!

nice work, *click installed*

Thanks

After our former PHPbb board got hacked a few weeks ago, we decided to revert to vBulletin. And this hack is just the thing we need in case something like this happens again. :cool:

[high]* Fusion.nl clicks install[/high]

/me clicky's install

very nice. took a bit for the first e-mails to be sent, but nice.

not simple to uninstall replaced the login.php and the adminfunctions.php but get the same check back in 15 minutes

Nice hack, going to install it shortly.

* derekivey clicks install

Is there a V 3.5 version?

/me hits install without being caught!

Sweet hack.. Worked great

SUGGESTION:

I have largish board (approaching a million posts) with thousands of posts/visits per day. To support that, I have admins and mods, of course, as well as super user groups with increased permission levels.

It would be useful if I could know about failed log-in attempts for all super-permission groups, regardless of log-in location. That is, if someone is trying to crack my admin pwd or the pwd of a mod by logging into the public forums, I would want to know about that too!

So, if I could track all failed log-ins, regardless of log-in point, for just certain, small groups, that would help. I don't care about the attempted pwd.

I have not installed this hack yet, but im about to...but this is a really good idea what you said, i would like to know if someone is trying to hack into for instance one of my members that are in the usergroup underground....so we could assign which usergroup to track.

That would be a great update if you had the time.

But very nice hack, im about to install now.

very useful! tested and works like a charm, thanks!
/me clicks install

Loving it all the way!! Installed!!

install clicked, works like charm for vb3.0.8

tested and got the email, good security warning mod

Anyone know if this works on vB 3.5?

No, it doesn't. Check my profile for the one that does. ;)

Thanks Boofo! :)

ok I love this hack - can I use this on 3.5 or shoudl I use something else?
