vBulletin 3.7.2 PL1 and 3.6.10 PL3 Released

easy patch.

There is a hack on vb org that alerts you if anyone tries gaining access to admin cp. It send you an email with the name used and IP of the attacker. Not hard to install either.

Thanks for the suggestion

should be interesting, you know the hack name?

I just tried looking for the hack and either I'm going blind or silly, but cant find it at present. And I cant find the version on my hard drive either

I found it easier to just add password protection on the admin folder (via cPanel) than renaming it.

That wont help you. I'd suggest doing both the password and the renaming.

ps. renaming a file, and adding that name to the config.php takes less then 1 min really.

I don't know how I stand for adding it to this post. So if anyone wants a copy, pm me with your email address and I will pass it on.

Quote from the install instructions giving more details of it

He removed his modifications as he doesn't want his code to be used by any other people. Offering people his code is not ethical in my point of view.
