Hacking Tool

[Martz]

It would be nice to see I guess, however vB seems to listen to their community and customers, so most hacks which are widely used are considered for future versions. What would the life span of this application be? Would it need modifying for each release? etc.

However, nice idea

Looks nice to me. I wouldn't mind giving something like this a try to see how much easier it is to insall a hack.

of course not.

this is just a program that both creates .mhk files (hack instructions) and runs them (does the hacking for you )

I'll be trying this out, because (as evident with the delays in the Mark Forum Read hack) its a pain in the arse to compile instructions when your hack is a fundemental system modification.

Hello, I am the author of the MultiHack program. It is designed to be used with UBB, however that is only a visual design. File paths can be set to anything.

I was interested in adding in specific support for vB, but I am unable to run vB due to its server requirements so I do not know what all I would have to do. The 2 emails I have sent to the folks here at vBulletin have not been replied to.

Version 1.5 of MultiHack was just released 2 days ago, so if you would like to check it out, it has been much improved over the last version. Currently I am working on the features for 2.0 which include options to auto download the necessary files from the web server, modify them, and upload them for you. So far, all goes well.

For a complete list of the 1.5 features you can visit www.multihack.com, and enter the forums section. Check out the Announcements area.

Take it easy,

As I said before, I think this would be great.

Do you have any plans to get a test server setup so that you can run vB to do the testing you need to do? Or is that not a possibility at this time?

Maybe we can figure out an alternative.

I've had an offer from someone here to setup a test system for me to take a look at, etc... Right now I am in the middle of some other modifications to the program so am not quite ready to add in anything else. However it shouldn't be too long. Ideally I will be adding in Template support. So the program will look and work like the selected template.

Wow, that would be quite impressive. I have been wondering if that is even possible considering all the variables that get their values from the database.

Maybe I am not totally understanding what you are saying, but still it does sound like some nice features.

With vBulletin, I'm not sure all what I would have to do. UBB is easy as there isn't anything that I have to read from UBB. It is all set within MultiHack. I'm about 25% done with the FTP stuff. Probably more but I am being safe.

Hi Troy,

have you had the chance of "playing" with a vB forum? If so, do you have any plans about supporting it in your cool tool?

I think this would be one of the MOST WANTED utility for vB administrators.

Thank you for your interest in trying to support vB, I hope that you have all you need to start working.

Bye...
