This is my version of the hack that Firefly released for VB2.
VB3's standard log of failed admincp login attempts is a nice feature.. but since you get no instant notification, by the time you check the log it could be too late. Also, the log doesn't show which passwords the potential intruder is trying... If someone is close to guessing my password I wanna know about it!
What does it do? With this hack, when someone tries to login to your admincp or modcp you'll get an email that contains the username they tried, the password they tried, their ip address, hostname, # of strikes, referer, script, and the date & time of the attempt.
It will look something like this:
Quote:
--------------------------------------------------
WARNING: Failed admin logon in vBulletin 3.0.1
--------------------------------------------------
Someone is trying to login to your Admin CP!
If the person who is attempting to access your CP happens to be registered & logged in, this line will also be included in the email:
Quote:
vBulletin has identified this user as: (intruder's real username here)
(Thanks to AlexanderT for the idea for this addon.)
Update (1-4-05): A couple of users have expressed concern about this mod sending a plaintext password over http for all logins. This update (v1.1) addresses that concern by only sending the password for cplogins. To update just re-do the first step in the instructions for your vbulletin version (the first edit to adminfunctions.php). Or if you'd prefer that the attempted password not be sent at all simply skip the edits to adminfunctions.php.
If you don't recieve an email when testing, make sure you have the webmaster email set in the admincp (vBulletin Options + Site Name / URL / Contact Details). Also, sometimes it takes a while for the email to arrive. So give it plenty of time before screaming "it doesn't work"..
Its possible but not practical b/c your inbox would be filled with notifications due to regular members mis-typing their password or username. To do something like that it would be a better idea to store failed logins in the database and let the admin view them in the control panel.
It is possible and I have achieved it (though I didn't want too). I have checked my install procedure a couple of times but seem to have done everything correctly.
Any thoughts as to what I did wrong? It is getting annoying receiving e-mails when users miss type their details.

About the only thing I can think of that would cause it to report all mistyped passwords/usernames would be if you placed the last bit of code from the instructions (the last edit to login.php) in the wrong place.
Make sure this bit of code:
Code:
$fstrk = "Strikes: $GLOBALS[strikes]/5\r\n";
$subject= 'WARNING: Failed admin logon in ' . $DB_site->appname . ' ' . $vboptions['templateversion'] . "\r\n\r\n";
$message="Someone is trying to login to your Admin CP!\n\n $fusername $fpassword $fipaddress Host: $iphostname\r\n $fstrk $freferer $fscriptpath $fdate $realname";
vbmail($vboptions['webmasteremail'], $subject, $message);
..is after this bit of code:
Code:
if ($logintype === 'cplogin' OR $logintype === 'modcplogin')
{
// log this error if attempting to access the control panel
require_once('./includes/functions_log_error.php');
Other than that I can't think of anything that would cause it.

Thankyou for your speedy response. It is in the right spot. It will just have to go down as a "vB X File".
I have had one or two of these, so am not excessively surprised. Luckily my users don't get their passwords wrong too often.
Hmmm.. Weird. Are you sure these users aren't trying to login through the admin section? In the emails that you get what does it say next to referer?
If it says: http://www.yoursite.com/forums/admincp/ then they are trying to login through the admincp.
