This is a hack that was suggested by paulomt1, all it does is log failed logins and stores them in a table. An admin can then look at the failed logins in the admin panel, searching based on ip, username, password or date. They can also prune the old logs to save space.

You will be required to create a table this can be done via phpmyAdmin or the hack by Firefly which allows you to run queries via the admin panel. You then have to edit member.php to add the query to insert the failed login information and /admin/index.php to add the links to the loginlog.php file.

Added additions suggested by Mike to the file. Instructions on how to upgrade from the pervious version of this hack is included within install.txt, you will need to run 2 sql queries to adjust the table, adjust the line in member.php and upload loginlog.php again to complete the upgrade.

U are a great programmer, thank you very match for your help.

Best Regards,

The only problem you would have is if you removed the gettemplate part from the bit you edited in member.php.

Ok, now is working very good, thanks to you.

If vbulletin.org had the hack "rate member" I would give you 5 stars :)

I don't really see the need for this hack....?

Nut yes he is a great programmer, If I could rate you, you would get 6 stars in my book!

it logs all failed logins, so for example if you have someone that keeps trying to login as one of the admin usernames you will know his IP and can ban him from the boards hence stopping it. Its also good to see how many times people get their password wrong, someone could be trying to brute force a members username or password. I've implemented this hack as I think it would be intresting to see how many failed logins there would be as vBulletin doesn't log any of these occurences.

great hack PPN, what can i change in the code to log even the correct logins?

thanks

Works great for me, Thanks
:D
