Administrative and Maintenance Tools - AdminCP Firewall ~ Protect your AdminCP!

This is a mod I made to increase the security of your forum!

It has the following features:

• Email alert when an Admin logs into the CP
• IP Checking for Admins
• E-Mail if the IP isn't whitelisted
• Block user access to the AdminCP if the IP isn't whitelisted
• E-Mail if someone fails an AdminCP login

Those features will allow you to secure your AdminCP - and the only upload required is the product file!

So, what are you waiting for? Install now

Does it work if you add the code to the top of your config file after <?php

Open your /includes/config.php and add

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Directly below

PHP Code:
<?php

Love the idea of this hack but what can I do if my router ever has problems, or I have to reset it and I lose the exact IP? How would I log in then?

You could simply go into your config file and disallow plug ins. Then log into the admincp and disable.. Bam..


addenum - Disable your plug ins by adding

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); 


To your config php file

Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit includes/config.php and add this line right under <?php

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

I am guessing it looks like this when you are done.

<?php 
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Then log in...Next go to your plugin manager and disable the mod from there..
After that you will either need to remove what you added to the config.php, comment it out or replace the word 'true' with 'false'. But that again is a guess...

Hope that helps...

Yeah, I should have been a little more descriptive but just seemed obvious to me. Thanks for the correction guys.

Ah, this is exactly what I was looking for. I was hit with that script kiddy hack going around defacing sites and decided some better security on the AdminCP would be nice.
