Administrative and Maintenance Tools - vB3.5 Email notification if someone attempts to access your Admin or Mod CP

vB3.5 Email notification if someone attempts to access your Admin or Mod CP
Version 1.0.1
(By Boofo)

What does this modification do?
When someone tries to login to your Admin CP or Mod CP, you will get an email that contains the username they tried, the password they tried, their IP address, hostname, number of strikes, referrer, script, and the date & time of the attempt. It also will now distinguish itself in the message subject between a failed Admin CP attempt and a failed Mode CP attempt, so you will know right off which CP they tried to login to.

NOTE: To alleviate anyone getting upset about plain text passwords being transmitted from the server, the ONLY time a plain text password is sent, is when it is a failed login attempt. It is not stored on the server anywhere and no hashed passwords are ever revealed to anyone. I think it's good to know if anyone is getting close to what my CP password is so I can change it if necessary.
