This hack protecs your board against people who wants to '(cr)hack your forum. Original coded by CBack for phpBB and now ported to vb. One of the best hacks ever...
phpBB have any problems with automated hacking attacks by botskripts was found her victim over google and send many requets to the board
this skript search for a lot of requets how '<skript>' and died the request, so the server has a littel less of load and an bad request can block befor he does work
is an similar way like the $_global handling of vb in begin of ini.php
@Onur - please edit a Link to cBack and the Title of this Hack to cBack CrackerTracker. And do not forget a link to vbhacks-germany etc.
And sorry - but no one can understand your english description here.

This is a complete security system for phpBB2 Forums. It protects against session cracks, floods, search overloads, worm attacks, BruteForce Attacks, Mass Mailing and much more to reduce Traffic and to protect Board and other MODs.
ok trying to understand, what this hack do is if someone or something tried to hack your board it will keep a log and then what slow server respond or what?????

i mean, comes a automated hackingskript (santy-webworm) who sending many requets to youre board, this skript end the bulid and delivery of the requestet site and save so cputime and traffic
some hackingrequests have no chance to do there work on patched boards, but you have a lot of traffic
What this guys trying to say is that his "addition" to your forum will kill the script if it notices any potential "bad request" are being sent to the forum.
1. Most of these request differ in "what they can do", showing phpinfo() is not going to help anyone own your server.
2. Vbulletin is not phpbb, and does not suffer from any of these problems to date.
3. If the request is being sent through a vbulletin php file they are not going to get executed anyway, this hack is Worthless on a Vbulletin Forum.
Acording to our phpbb specialist (on "my" board) :

Edit: I don't know if this is ported version of the phpBB mod, my German isn't fluent.
Will this hack have any negative effects on vB through the "automatic update-system" or was this problem fixed when you ported it?
