As long as the person does a good job of porting my hacks..... then its ok with me.

If someone says here in this thread that my store hack contains security holes and that the code sucks then i reply to that and i want an explanation. Obviously right? Anyone would of contact me if he would find a security hole in my store hack. Faranth probably couldn't even find one!

Very cheap if you talk like that about my store hack without any proper statement or evidence, if he can ok then cool but if he don't then he shouldn't talk about my store hack like that. He gives members/users here on this forum a wrong image of my store hack wich i don't appreciate. I guess you won't either if someone talk like that about one of your released hacks floris.

I wil contact him through pm because he probably don't reply here anymore and then i demand that his post will be edited or even deleted by the staff here because his post is definately not appropriate!

i saw a group of hackers reak havok via your store hack on the forum, with using some secutiry holes, i knew they were not admins, i knew they didnt have admin access. however they never insisted to shrae some stuff with me. a few other hackers here that i know warned me not to use your hack due to some major secutiry holes, i never asked to know the securit holes as the ppl who cantected me i trsuted / the ppl i asked.



in the past when i used your store hack, my other admin followed all the instructions and only half of the features work, and the other half didnt even seem to function. so i though up a test board and installed it my self. and it didnt work, from that point on i decided that the ppl who warned me and their opinioins were right. i have no knowleged of the holes but ive seen them exploited

Yes, true in that view if we talk about earlier versions of the store hack. Not true if you talk about my new version: 3.0. Ofcourse, we as php coders can never say that a script is 100% secure, but i think that i am very close to that percentage with my new version 3.0. So if someone says that 3.0 contains security holes then i slap my head and want to know about it. But you are giving your opinion/critism on earlier versions of the store hack, i mean.. we don't judge vb 2.2.2 when 2.3.4 is out and we don't judge vb3 beta 1 when vb3 rc1 is out right? ;)

And my forum had 3 admins a half year ago while i only had 2 admins, a very friendly hacker pointed me to my mistakes in my coding, from then i have learned alot regarding security and improved my code. I appreciate it if people judge the code/script of the new version instead of any earlier versions.

i havd never meant it an attack on current version, so i am sorry if it came out that way :\

Thats how i took it Faranth that you was regarding towards the new store hack. My bad ;)

The no hacks was a vb.org club rule. If you snooz you lose. One should never put all their eggs in one basket. There were other places that you could have coded at.

I don't think anyone but the original author should release a future version unless they were given permission. To me, hacks and mods are improved on the best by only the original author, especially larger ones (such as the store hack ;)) since they were the one who coded it to begin with.

Miker not always true, but some things like newest posts, and very small mini mods are frivilous, theres only one way to do them

like ammount of new posts / threads :) no other way to do that, the only thing that might change is the html :)

I disagree with some of it - there's plenty of cases where someone else could make a much better improvement of a hack than the original hack author.
