PHP Nuke is infamous for benig easier to open than a prozzies nickers.

Edit: really this guy isnt a hacker. He possesses no skill what so ever. He'll just be searching for a site that runs PHP Nuke and when he finds it runs the same vunrabilities over and over and over.

Get a site made and designed which will stop him (if its done well).

Your site blows, go advertise it elsewhere.

Yep, PHP Nuke is your problem. SQL injection is it's main vector of attack. Anything that connects to a DB directly from the actual page script is asking for trouble, especially when it tries to manually escape strings instead of using parameterised queries

If I was going to advertise it here surely I would do it when it was up and not down. Most of your readers would be aware of it anyway.

Who knows, your one here could be next.

For the others, yes I am coming to the same conclusion about PHP-Nuke.

Any advice on what would be better as regards a standard package?

Or would I need bespoke software?
