Administrative and Maintenance Tools - [DBTech] vBSecurity v2 (vB4)

vBSecurity: What is it?
vBSecurity keeps a watchful eye over your forum even when you are not there, and has the capability to alert you of any suspicious activity.

Uses

vBSecurity is the ideal product for forums that are concerned about security, or wish to be alerted when something suspicious happens.
It keeps a watchful eye on your configuration file, ensuring that it does not get modified by mods or plugins.
Another important feature is the ability to add a secondary login, unique to each administrator, that is required before accessing the AdminCP. Ideal for forums where multiple administrators may share login information, or where administrators may log in from public computers.
Add in quick settings for the most vital vBulletin Options and Usergroup password settings, vBSecurity can easily be called one of the most comprehensive security suites for your vBulletin forum.

Under SECURITY WATCHERS: GENERAL - I have:



Twice it has set off both of the above (two emails, closed forum, etc) for a single wrong password attempt.

I have temporarily taken away its ability to close the forum, because I was out yesterday and it shut down the forum for almost 5 hours.

If I can help in any way to help duplicate/identify this behavior - don't hesitate to email me.

Thanks

Same here buddy 1 failed login ip banned mostly from my mobile

[rhody401]

Ya i was able to duplicate it again last night, with a single wrong password attempt. For now, I disabled all but EMAIL ADMINISTRATOR - so it wont shut down the forum again.

Thanks for the reply to let me know I'm not imagining things

I'll attempt to replicate this myself as soon as I have time, if I can't I'll reach out to one of you for FTP/AdminCP information.

There is a bit of a change I would make to this mod. Add an option to add IP to a blacklist (for 30 days or increments in months) for failed logins within x amount of time would be great.

Finally got around to upgrading to 1.1.1 today on vB4.2.1, and I'm having a very strange error. My users and staff (including moderators but not including admins) cannot access their notifications or profile pages. I had updated several other addons in the same session (all DB Tech addons: Advanced User Tagging, vB Arcade, Username Change and AJAX Threads), but we've confirmed the error did not crop up until after this addon was installed.
The error only happened after this addon was updated, but did not seem to vanish when the addon was disabled/uninstalled.

EDIT: Hmmmm. Looks like it may be an addon conflict with Tournaments, Ladders & Leagues Manager v4.x. Disabled that addon, and now it's working again. Don't know how the heck that error could stay there even when I'd disabled/uninstalled vBSecurity, but since it only cropped up after updating this...*shrugs*

[ZUCCO]

Thank you ! I will try it

vBSecurity v1.1.2

Please could I check something with this mod?

There's 2 kinds of rules you can set up for failed login attempts. 1 is for any IP address in eg. 5 mins and the other is for 1 IP address in eg. 5 mins. I think I understand the alerts produced for 1 IP address in eg. 5 mins in that 1 IP address has made multiple attempts to access accounts and has failed? but was does the alert for any IP address in eg. 5 mins mean? It will mention a handful of usernames but only one IP so I'm not sure what the IP relates to in that situation?

[neptunesys]

So far, this has been a great mod to have. I wish I'd installed in sooner

I would like to see two improvements in the Login Strikes Viewer to make this even more useful.

1. Differentiate between bogus (non-existent) usernames and existing usernames
2. Indicate if the displayed IP address has been banned

Awesome mod. Purchased the pro version.

Wish i had found this a long time ago to enforce password complexity requirements during registration / password changes.

Support is awesome too, they listened to some of my suggestions regarding the mass password reset feature and got the changes implemented very quickly. :-)
