Prevent hackers to enter you admin panel

[Solidjeuh]

I have an easy solution, That prevents hackers to enter your admin panel.
Just make an .httacces into the 'adm' folder

Code: Select all

<limit GET>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from IP address Here
</limit> 

if you have more then 1 admin:

Code: Select all

<limit GET>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from IP address Here
allow from IP address Here
</limit>

Now when you try to enter the admin panel you will get an error page if your ip addresses is not in that list.
The only problem is, when you have a dynamic ip adres you need to change the address into the .htacces file every time it changes. Otherwise you can't get into your own admin panel



This is not my code! I found this on google. And wanted to share with all of you

Is it that easy to hack a phpbb forum?
Is this mod legit?

It makes no sense. What if your admins have a dynamic IP or have to do some work from somewhere else? Use password protected directories instead. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=password+protected ... access&l=1
Although, that isn't necessarily needed. The phpBB admin login is almost 100% safe. (Nothing is 100% safe)

True x'D But the best modification is to change ACP directory: viewtopic.php?f=52&t=1875

You can better manage these things in your CPanel Deny IP's and stuf...
