Administrative and Maintenance Tools - [4.1.x-4.2.x] Notify when config.php changes

If you want support, please mark as installed. If you install, please mark as installed

!!MOD UPDATED DUE TO INAVLID SETTING CONFIG - IT WILL WORK NOW!!

This mod is for vBulletin 4.1.x - 4.2.x

This mod will allow you to specify users that will get stopped if the config.php file is modified.

This is useful as a security tool, as most hackers would go for the config.php file.

You must enable it in it's settings before it will work.

Why Would I want/need this?
The config.php file contains the variables for super admins, as well as those with log pruning/viewing/sql executing permissions. If someone has ftp to your site, they will target this file so they can do whatever they want. Want to risk it? Install now!

Please note: This may cause a slight delay loading the page for people you choose to notify, as it calculates the md5 hash of the config.php file. It shouldn't be too much of an issue though.

Changelog

Version 2.2

Added - Setting to enter config.php location

1) they need to know your username & password

and plus you can You can restrict FTP access by IP through a .ftpaccess file

to do this you do the following

create a file called .ftpaccess

Yes - I did, thanks

EDIT:

Hmm. I edited the options function, and now it won't work. I'm thinking that I can't make a call to the vbulletin options in vbulletin options...

EDIT 2: Fixed it, please download the file now
