Administrative and Maintenance Tools - [DBTech] vBSecurity v2 (vB4)

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.

You will need to check your error log for the real reason behind a 500 Internal Server Error.

I have similar problem. User can't reset password. Error message was displayed after clik on reset link.

PHP Warning: require(........dbtech....vbsecurity_pro....hooks. ...reset_password.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in ....login.php(329) : eval()'d code on line 1

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '//dbtech/vbsecurity_pro/hooks/reset_password.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php/pear5') in /login.php(329) : eval()'d code on line 1

When I downgraded to 2.2.0 everything is ok.

Sorry about that, I've updated the zip file with a fixed XML file

I updated this today (overwriting the old install) without realizing that I needed PHP Ver 5.6. I have PHP 5.3.29. Can I get the latest version that works with 5.3.29 please?

Thanks.

I'm really impressed with some of the features in the new version of this modification. Thanks for all the good work.

I notice you included instructions for using bcrypt for passwords. Do those instructions re-encrypt the entire password database? This is a huge issue that I've been concerned about for some time. I also would like to ask the impact of forum upgrades - so if you deploy it in 4.2.5 and then upgrade to 4.2.6, do you need to make those changes again?

Any file modifications will need to be reapplied in the event of a forum upgrade. Running the BCrypt action in the AdminCP does add additional BCrypt hashing to passwords in the database, yes.

The download package has been updated to address a minor security vulnerability that could allow an attacker to inject code for their own user only (not other users) when viewing their currently active login sessions.

This vulnerability cannot be used to exploit your forum, this is not a critical vulnerability.

If I do a mass password reset for all of my users, will they get an email saying that their password was reset? If so, can I customize that email?

Thanks
