vBSecurity: What is it?
vBSecurity keeps a watchful eye over your forum even when you are not there, and has the capability to alert you of any suspicious activity.

Uses

vBSecurity is the ideal product for forums that are concerned about security, or wish to be alerted when something suspicious happens.
It keeps a watchful eye on your configuration file, ensuring that it does not get modified by mods or plugins.
Another important feature is the ability to add a secondary login, unique to each administrator, that is required before accessing the AdminCP. Ideal for forums where multiple administrators may share login information, or where administrators may log in from public computers.
Add in quick settings for the most vital vBulletin Options and Usergroup password settings, vBSecurity can easily be called one of the most comprehensive security suites for your vBulletin forum.

Major Features
Administrator Security: .htaccess-like logins for your administrators means that even if they use the same password on multiple sites, malicious users still need a fresh, unique password to log in.

Security Watchers: Keep an eye on the most important aspects of vBulletin: config.php tampering, AdminCP / User Account access attempts, vBulletin Options, User Data, Usergroup Settings and Usergroup Permissions.
Detailed changelogs available for each watcher dealing with changes.
IP Ban, User Ban, Email alerts and temporary forum closure options available for each watcher individually.

I just wanted to say this is a really good mod. I have known about it for the last year but had no idea all of what this did based on the description. It's crazy this hasn't won mod of the month yet. Everyone who runs a VBulletin forum should install this. It provides some nice logging that VBulletin doesn't have natively, it adds additional protections for privileged accounts and it provides some nice options for alerting of suspicious behavior. It even has a check you can run and provides suggestions on things you can do to better lock down your system.

I might have more ideas later but the one suggestion I would have for the developers is to consider bundling the strong authentication mod with this one and have some options to selectively turn that on for moderators, supermoderators and administrators - possibly as an alternative to the IP address check. I'd give the option to do both.

I'm noticing super moderators getting block from the moderator control panel with the blocked message saying they are not white-listed for access to the admincp. I thought this was only for blocking access to the admincp, no one reported any problems to me before the last update to vBSecurity. Am I missing something here?

That was added as a feature, they'll receive an email to confirm their IP addresses

I thought the feature was added for super administrators. The admin account flagged in the config.php.

I'm talking about super moderators and I'm not seeing any documentation mentioning super moderators.
