Some forum is talking about a brute force attack on my forum.
 

Some forum that I was banned for cause they thought I gave them a vB pirated license which I never did.... is planning an attatck on my forum, they say they're gonna brute force my admin pass or something. I dont know wether to take it serious or not but what can I do to protect my forum?

Htaccess your admin dir with a strong username/password and warn your host.

Can you please tell me how to htaccess my admin dir? I am not sure how. And I have my password as a 30 character long one containing of numbers and letters.

You might want to change your sig :)

hehe whoops - hotlink protection

I say we gather all of the vB.org army and go over there and brute attack them :> Mwahahaha. I can mess them up, aint nothing worse than a learner php coder who makes mistakes in his code, Can mess them right up lol

I say we don't. Actions such as this are completely illegal and discussion of them will not be tolerated in jest or in seriousness. Hackers are people I have zero respect for. But in regards - .htaccess the admin and mod directories with as difficult and as long a password as you want it to be. And make sure you add some of the administration protection hacks that we have here. That way you can't be demoted as administrator. Also take backups. I doubt if they'll do this but it's best to be safe than sorry :)

Or alternatively you set traps which will capture their IP if they attempt to get in, and then ban their IP range from the server entirely...;)

Satan

Still think we should make an army **runs of crying**
