| phpbb is famous for being vulnerable to people who know the source code inside-out. All it takes is someone knowledgeable to find an exploit, tell others about it and presto, you can take over half the internet's forums. That's why really big, important forums either use Vbulletin or a privately secured version of phpbb. Keeping important code closed is a good start to keeping your site secure; of course, it's only a small start. |

Originally posted by Kas Uhh...no. I don't know why the rumor that phpBB is extremely insecure keeps spreading, but it's entirely false. Oh wow, three exploits to the source within a year, all patched by the phpBB no more than two days after discovery, must make it really insecure. Actually, probably the reason the rumor keeps spreading is that forum maintainers AREN'T updating as often as they should. |

Rena I had one (1) message in Discord deleted and proceeded to make a huge, huge mess about how it was a violation of free speech and how moderators are supposed to be spam janitors and nobody should have the right to tell me not to talk about school shootings Level: 135 Posts: 573/5390 EXP: 29079571 For next: 255434 Since: 07-22-07 Pronouns: he/him/whatever From: RSP Segment 6 Since last post: 343 days Last activity: 343 days

| It doesn't, well at least not the ones from Acmlm.
Jesper's 1.a2 has a license somewhat similar to the BSD license (though it forbids sale of the software), the legality of it is somewhat thrown into question since Acmlm didn't make any explicit permission, but given his permissive stance I doubt he'd care too much. Unless you're using 1.a2, it doesn't really matter to you. |

Originally posted by chungyOriginally posted by Kas ...Those are still exploits, and when one is discovered a vast number of communities are affected. I've read somewhere that in the past some exploits have remained unpatched for months. Penny Arcade famously switched from PHPBB because of its insecurity. So no, I didn't say it was extremely insecure. i said it's insecure to people who know what to look for, and that can a very simple task. Once an exploit is uncovered, anybody who knows a little can use it.
