Email notification if someone attempts to access your Admin or Mod CP
 

Email notification if someone attempts to access your Admin or Mod CP for vBulletin vB3.7.0 beta 4
Version 1.0.2
(By Boofo)

What does this modification do?
When someone tries to login to your Admin CP or Mod CP, you will get an email that contains the username they tried, their IP address, hostname, number of strikes, referrer, script, and the date & time of the attempt. It also will now distinguish itself in the message subject between a failed Admin CP attempt and a failed Mode CP attempt, so you will know right off which CP they tried to login to.

NOTE: Those who respectfully donate will be have access to the password version of this hack by sending me a PM after donation.

USER ATTEMPT: Your Forums has identified this registered user as: Boofo

NOTE: If you do not click install, you do not need support.

Does this use the "contact us" email address by default ?

** EDIT**

Nevermid ... read the code, I see where it goes.

It uses your webmaster email setting in the Admin CP.

Dude... this is AWESOME !!

Nominated fo' MOTM.

Later Edit: Oh man... too bad it needs file edits. Is there any way you could turn this into a product?

Sorry, there aren't any hooks in those files to be able to do it that way.

I see... i'm securing my AdminCP with .htpasswd now, it'll be a bit safer.

That just lets you know what password they try in case it is close to yours or what method they are trying to use to get in. I wouldn't run my site without this.

Don't forget the install buttion. ;)

I tagged this mod. :)

BOOFO is back everyone! :up:

This will work from 3.6 on up.

And I don't recall seeing you visitng at all, or did I miss that? ;)

You missed it. :)
