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"..
installed and working right now i'll hit that "install" button
this mod works fine but i wonder why it takes so long to deliver the mail ? by that time the intruder is already gone .... all you could do is ban him (if it is a guest) and disable his account if he is regged
If you're using a browser other than internet exploror and it still doesn't send the attempted password try it again with internet explorer and see if it works.

I was using IE - but I'll give your new instructions a shot and see if it works.
