Important: It is all about trust

[AWS]

When I read the first post my first thought was someone put a backdoor in a hack. The post reads like a virus warning. The first post does indeed scream "doom and gloom"
Having said that no person should install any hack without first looking through the code. You want to do this to make sure the code is secure and doesn't contain any backdoors. In all honesty you shouldn't be installing hacks if you have no knowledge of php. While I have trust in the authors of the hacks here it would be very easy for one of them to put in a backdoor that would give them control of your forum or your whole server.
