ADMIN-Q&A

< Back to the Overview...

Why would I want to track IPs?

Schlabo's Scripts can track the IP of everyone who accesses the Admin-scripts. If you think that someone found out the password of your script you can just take a look at the IP-log-file and you'll see every access listed. The script displays that in a very detailled way: Date, Time, IP, Hostname, User and what he did or tried to do. If the user logged in with a wrong password you can even see the password he tried to use.
To reset the logs you have to manually delete the IP-Tracking-file (default: iplock.ip) using FTP. After all it would be rather worthless if the hacker who got access to the scripts can reset the tool to catch him directly from the scripts.
