possible to rename vbseocp.php file

Is it possible to rename the vbseocp.php file?

Any forum that has vbSEO installed, would be rather easy to locate the CP, and simply try to brute force it.

Not that much harm can be done, its just the headache that would be caused from the whole thing.

good request..

This is currently not supported. You can use the following in .htaccess though:

Code:

<Files vbseocp.php>
deny from all
allow from YOUR_IP_HERE
</Files>

Here's something I am using

Code:

# deny access to it directly unless referer is correct
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?YOURDOMAIN\.com/ [nc]
RewriteRule ^vbseocp\.php$ http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/ [R=301,L]

# initial request should be from seocp.php
RewriteRule ^seocp\.php vbseocp.php?$1

I'm not good with rewrite to throw 404 error and still look 'normal' per rest of your site, so someone else can fix that, maybe. But in all cases, if someone punch in the URL http://www.yourdomain.com/vbseocp.php, it would redirect them back to your domain. If they punch in seocp.php, then they get the login screen. All requests there after (due to hardcoded post link) will be sent to vbseocp.php. But since the post data have a http referer data from your domain, it'll get through just fine.

I placed that code above the sitemap rewrite line and below RewriteBase line, but it should work as long as you place it before the last set of RewriteRule and Condition which directs everything to vbseo.php.

A problem with this is if someone post a link on your forum which points to vbseocp.php (which, can be stopped by making yourdomain.com/vbseocp.php a replacement variable that replaces it into something else) then it'll be just fine... or at least it should be.
