Forum secure

[tommy]

I just created a forum and I am looking for ways to make it more secure.
I have used SMF which I think is better than Phpbb.
Any other suggestions.

I think that you have started well by using SMF instead of phpbb.
You should always try to keep up to date with the security updates and find a good host for your forum.

You need to read other forums about the software, they will tell you what you need to know to make your forum secure enough for business!

Make sure the captcha is enabled and require email activation.

Install updates and add this script:

<?php
// Basic code , JoniMontana.
$array1 = array("select","insert","drop");
$string = $_SERVER['query_string'];

foreach ($array1 as $x)
{
if (stristr($x,$string) AND stristr("where",$string))
{
header("Location: index.php");
}
}
?>

put it on your main index.php file. thats help agienst scriptkids who try to inject sql tought addr...
