VBulletin is not built for security

That really wasn't necessary or warranted. Did you not see the smilie in that post?

Nexia's the bossman.

On a serious note, if hackers can hack high profile intelligence sites such as the CIA or big multi-national corps such as Sony then they can hack a vB install(or any software for that matter), now only the hacker probably knows whether they went for a front or back exploit. As majority admins to claim it as a server side hack rather than the software install, which is often the 98% true.

That's my point. Some "expert hacker" isn't going to go through vBulletin, he's going to get root access to the server. I find it laughable that a "cyberterror expert" would honestly think a hacker does his damage by exploiting a software such as vB.

Though, I don't think it really matters what I say. It's hard to be impartial and objective in this situation when you work for Internet Brands.

Going to butt in here, are you saying vB has vulnerabilities but none of those BB software's do? Pls hack my site then.

I think he meant that all of them, INCLUDING vBulletin, are prone to vulnerabilities. But, twist it the way you want to, I guess.

base vbulletin vulnerablities , whenever is sported by vbulletin staff here or in .com , are fixed right away or a tracker issue is reported next to it.

Other than that , if u use any modification which has any kind of exploit , what will the staff here can do , so first always before using a modification , always use modifications which are in here , as supported. DO not install unsuported modifications say like beta , or any other things....

Also before installing any modification , you should always try it on a demo site and play with it , check it's templates , hook system and what more you can do with it.

And also , hackers as i know , tends to have knowledge about your server. Most of the time , there is an exploit which happens to your server, which gets exploited by hackers to use.

and also , do not allow xml or html scripts to be uploaded to your server directly and they should not be executed.

much writting ..... hands in pain.
And aswell : Thanks vb.org Staff or helping us . you guys are goooood.
