(http://libs.websoft9.com/Websoft9/DocsPicture/en/mybb/mybb14.png) Using Plugins MyBB has one of the most advanced plugin systems found in modern forum software. It takes only minutes to install plugins that can make MyBB suit your needs even better. Most plugins will come with their own documentation on where the files included should go! If the mod does not come with documentation and contains a single php file then that file should be uploaded to MyBB Root Folder/inc/plugins . If the plugin still lacks documentation on where the files go, but there are directories such as jscripts , inc , or admin at the root of the plugin download’s folder, then upload the files within those directories to the respective folders of your MyBB installation. If you then browse to Admin Control Panel -> Configuration -> Plugins you will see the plugin that you have recently uploaded listed. Click the Install or Activate links to install the plugin. Upgrade Preparing for your Upgrade Before you upgrade, you should do the following steps: 1. First, you may want to shut down your forum. Doing this means that no one will interrupt the upgrade process accidentally. Please remember that switching the forum off by using the Board Online/Offline setting is not recommended. The best method is to use a .htaccess restriction on your forum’s root folder so that no one can access the front-end.To restrict access to your forum except from your IP address, you need to place the following code in your root .htaccess file if you’re using apache or in the server block of your site’s config file if you’re using nginx. Replace 127.0.0.1 with your IP address.Apache 2.4: Require all denied Require ip 127.0.0.1 2. Secondly, you should back up your files and database and store them in a safe place. Just in case something goes wrong, you can restore the backup and start again. You can back up the database using the MyBB Admin CP or your database management software. 3. You must deactivate (or disable) all of your plugins. This is because it is likely they will need to be updated to work on the new version and can cause problems if they are left active. You can deactivate (or disable) your plugins by going to Admin CP > Board Settings > General Configuration and changing “Disable All Plugins” to Yes. Beginning the Upgrade Once you’ve downloaded the correct upgrade package for you, it’s time to do the upgrade. Please follow these steps carefully. 1. Upload all of the files and folders inside the package (from inside the Upload/ folder if using the full package), including the install/ folder (if it exists), overwriting the existing copies of the files in your file system. 2. If the blog post announcement mentions that the upgrade script is required, then perform the following: 1. Open your forum’s home page in your web browser and add /install/ to the URL. For example, www.yourdomain.com/install/ or www.yourdomain.com/forum/install/ . 2. It might ask you to remove a file called lock in this folder. Use an FTP Client or a File Manager to remove the install/lock file. 3. You should see a drop down list asking what version of MyBB you’re upgrading from. Remember to select the correct version – the one you’re currently using – or else the upgrade will not work correctly. 4. Follow the instructions to run the upgrade. 5. After the upgrade has finished, check that the file called lock was created in the install/ folder. If it is missing, create it yourself or delete the install/ folder from your server. For extra protection, chmod 644 inc/config.php . 3. If the blog post announcement mentions that there are theme changes, then perform the following: 1. Go to Admin CP > Templates & Style > Templates > Find Updated Templates. This will show you a list of all the templates that have changed during the upgrade. 2. You can either revert these templates to their default – meaning all the changes you’ve made to it will be removed – or you can see a Diff Report which will show you exactly what’s changed. If you have a custom theme installed, it is probably best that you look at the Diff Report and apply the changes you need. 4. If the blog post announcement mentions that there are language changes and you’ve either customised your English language pack (the default pack) or installed a custom language pack, then perform the following: 1. Check to see if the language pack you’re using has already been updated in the Translation Releases Forum (https://community.mybb.com/forum-169.html). Download and install any updates you need. 2. If you have made customisations to the packs yourself, or you manage a language pack for MyBB, then read through the blog post announcement for a list of changes to the language packs and apply the changes as necessary. 5. The upgrade process should now be complete! You may want to re- open your forum by removing the .htaccess block or turning your forum on again. Before you do this, ensure that your forum functions correct and it looks the way it’s supposed to look! Take your time don’t rush it. Backup & Restore There are three main “sections” of the migration process(Restore): backups/export of data, uploading of data to the new host, and domain transfer. From the database backups page, you can easily create backups that are either stored on your server or downloaded to your computer. The database backups listing page shows you all backups that are currently stored on your server, the size of the backup, the time and day of creation, and allows you to download or delete the backup.

Some of the footprints below have already been formed into ready made search queries. TIP* If you find a footprint that returns the results you are looking for, there is no need to use the rest in that section. For example if I am looking for wordpress sites that allow comments and the search query “powered by wordpress” “YOUR YOUR KEYWORDS” returns lots of results there is no need to use all of the others that target wordpress sites as a lot of them will produce similar results. I would use one or two from each section. You can try them out and when you find one you like add it to your own list of favourites.

  • Phpbb to Vbulletin Converter Download
    phpbb to vbulletin converter download phpbb or vBulletin? When I started up my site, I obviously installed a phpBB2 forum, which I then saw as a very powerful solution compared to the other free forums. I was happy with the installation for a good while, installing more MODifications and styles as I went: you wouldn't believe how much time I spent on it. Suddenly, at the beginning of this month, my site saw a pretty big jump in traffic. Forum user count went from 33 to 177 in just 3 weeks! Many of these users acually post frequently, and since I put up some google ads on one of my other sites, I decided to try out vBulletin, thinking it had some better moderation and profile features in excange for speed, style, and easy of use. Well, I finally decided to buy it one day: a perpetual license for $160, and I can say I am a bit more more than very pleased :lol:! The backend is huge, yes, but everything is nicely organized and virtually any aspect of the board can be modified. There are endless options compared to phpBB2, and I am very happy with my switch. vB is also pretty fast and easy to use regardless of the features. So basically, I find vBulletin to be the best forum solution, far better than IPB as well. Also, the conversion went very smoothly, and you can see my wonderful new forum at http://themotec.com/Forum. The phpBB team is currently working on phpBB3, which will be a much more easy-to-use version of, basically, vBulletin, with some of the very detailed features not available, and with a completely different style.

    Security Now! Transcript of Episode #811 Page 1 of 30 Transcript of Episode #811 What the FLoC? Description: This week we briefly, I promise, catch up with ProxyLogon news regarding Windows Defender and the Black Kingdom. We look at Firefox's next release which will be changing its Referer header policy for the better. We look at this week's most recent RCE disaster, a critical vulnerability in the open source MyBB forum software, and China's new CAID (China Anonymization ID). We then conclude by taking a good look at Google's plan to replace tracking with explicit recent browsing history profiling, which is probably the best way to understand FLoC (Federated Learning of Cohorts). And as a special bonus we almost certainly figure out why they named it something so awful.

  • Appendix a the Ten Commandments for Websites
    Appendix A The Ten Commandments for Websites Welcome to the appendixes! At this stage in your learning, you should have all the basic skills you require to build a high-quality website with insightful consideration given to aspects such as accessibility, search engine optimization, usability, and all the other concepts that web designers and developers think about on a daily basis. Hopefully with all the different elements covered in this book, you now have a solid understanding as to what goes into building a website (much more than code!). The main thing you should take from this book is that you don’t need to be an expert at everything but ensuring that you take the time to notice what’s out there and deciding what will best help your site are among the most important elements of the process. As you leave this book and go on to updating your website over time and perhaps learning new skills, always remember to be brave, take risks (through trial and error), and never feel that things are getting too hard. If you choose to learn skills that were only briefly mentioned in this book, like scripting, or to get involved in using content management systems and web software, go at a pace that you feel comfortable with. With that in mind, let’s go over the 10 most important messages I would personally recommend. After that, I’ll give you some useful resources like important websites for people learning to create for the Internet and handy software. Advice is something many professional designers and developers give out in spades after learning some harsh lessons from what their own bitter experiences.

The thesis is equivalent to 20 weeks of full time studies. Contact Information: Author(s): Anup Shakya Address: Älgbacken 8, 372 34 Ronneby E-mail: [email protected] Author(s): Dhiraj Aryal Address: Lindblomsvågen 96, 372 33 Ronneby E-mail: [email protected] University advisor(s): Dr. Stefan Axelsson School of Computing Blekinge Institute of Technology School of Computing Internet : www.bth.se/com Blekinge Institute of Technology Phone : +46 455 38 50 00 SE – 371 79 Karlskrona Fax : +46 455 38 50 57 Sweden Abstract Context: SQL injection attack (SQLIA) poses a serious defense threat to web appli- cations by allowing attackers to gain unhindered access to the underlying databases containing potentially sensitive information. A lot of methods and techniques have been proposed by different researchers and practitioners to mitigate SQL injection problem. However, deploying those methods and techniques without a clear under- standing can induce a false sense of security. Classification of such techniques would provide a great assistance to get rid of such false sense of security. Objectives: This paper is focused on classification of such techniques by building taxonomy of SQL injection defense techniques. Methods: Systematic literature review (SLR) is conducted using five reputed and familiar e-databases; IEEE, ACM, Engineering Village (Inspec/Compendex), ISI web of science and Scopus.

  • Locating Exploits and Finding Targets
    452_Google_2e_06.qxd 10/5/07 12:52 PM Page 223 Chapter 6 Locating Exploits and Finding Targets Solutions in this chapter: ■ Locating Exploit Code ■ Locating Vulnerable Targets ■ Links to Sites Summary Solutions Fast Track Frequently Asked Questions 223 452_Google_2e_06.qxd 10/5/07 12:52 PM Page 224 224 Chapter 6 • Locating Exploits and Finding Targets Introduction Exploits, are tools of the hacker trade. Designed to penetrate a target, most hackers have many different exploits at their disposal. Some exploits, termed zero day or 0day, remain underground for some period of time, eventually becoming public, posted to newsgroups or Web sites for the world to share. With so many Web sites dedicated to the distribution of exploit code, it’s fairly simple to harness the power of Google to locate these tools. It can be a slightly more difficult exercise to locate potential targets, even though many modern Web application security advisories include a Google search designed to locate potential targets. In this chapter we’ll explore methods of locating exploit code and potentially vulnerable targets.These are not strictly “dark side” exercises, since security professionals often use public exploit code during a vulnerability assessment. However, only black hats use those tools against systems without prior consent. Locating Exploit Code Untold hundreds and thousands of Web sites are dedicated to providing exploits to the gen- eral public. Black hats generally provide exploits to aid fellow black hats in the hacking community.White hats provide exploits as a way of eliminating false positives from auto- mated tools during an assessment. Simple searches such as remote exploit and vulnerable exploit locate exploit sites by focusing on common lingo used by the security community.
