Hi all,
Sorry if the question doesn't make sense. I'm working on my forum and getting ready to launch to the public.
One of the things I'm concern about is the security and was wondering if I install Powerful Firewall plugin, would this be enough to protect the forum from hackers?
Any thoughts will be very useful. Thank you so much.
Be surprised if such an old plugin worked properly with current versions of mybb - not that I've tried. And you need to be current with mybb, php, and database software to protect yourself from known exploits. Or current as you can.
So a lot depends on your hosting. DO check your logs and / or mybb sessions table. Not for everyone I guess, but I like to see what IP's are doing - or trying. Not a big believer in install and walk away. Good security comes in layers...
You'd likely be better off focussing on security at the server level rather than the application level. There also isn't a silver bullet single solution that can be installed to fully protected from hackers, as an exploit could be found in several layers (application, server OS, server software, network etc).

Not sure what forum you refer - this one? Most recent exploits I see on the CVE Details search are pre-1826. Acknowledged on github with corresponding 1826 release notes.
Exploit-DB search - no joy whatsoever. Mind you - not as diligent on this stuff as I was years ago.
