Im trying to download Admin CP HoneyPot.

Its a thing that helps to protect your forum.

Here is part of the page-

Quote:The MyBB Admin CP Honeypot is a fake /admin/ directory that looks and acts just like the real thing. The difference? It doesn't actually "work".

Attackers will be faced with an eternal "Wrong username/password" error and will hopefully get discouraged. In addition, the login details that they use in addition to their IP address will be emailed to you, so you can take appropriate action against them.

--------

Admin CP Honeypot Security Features:

- Looks and acts just like the real Admin CP (down to the Source whitespace)
- Mimics the exact file structure of the /admin/ directory, and outputs the same HTML source code.
- Emails the attacker's login information and IP address.
- Plugin file outputs a 404 header and HTML source.

--------

To install:

1) Rename your real /admin/ directory and modify your /inc/config.php to reflect the change.
2) Upload the new fake /admin/ directory and the plugin file.
3) Activate the plugin and set email notification preferences.

When it says, rename your real /admin/ directory, i know how to do that. go to this php file and edit the name and then edit the folder in the root. but when it says modify your /inc/config.php to relfect the change i have no idea what that means.

In ./inc/config.php it has this:

$config['admin_dir'] = 'admin';

You have to change the admin bit to the name of the new folder.

Open ./inc/config.php and find;

$config['admin_dir'] = 'admin';

You've to change the Changed admin folder there.

Edit: Do not have much fast typing
