0 TonyNZ Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 (edited) I say IPB1.3, mainly because phpBB authors are not going to fix the current administrator remote exploits. If your looking for security - IPB 1.3 If your looking for people exploiting your board - phpBB edit: proof of concept: here & here, also just noticed 2.0.13 fixes these problems, but I heard different from a sucurity friends :/ Edited March 19, 2005 by eck0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Version3 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 As long as you have the latest version of phpBB, I can see no reason to be worried about exploits. :) I'd personally go with phpBB.

0 TonyNZ Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Medievil: 1.3 is known to be secure for along time now, but even if an exploit comes out, someone will patch it. phpBB is known to be full of holes, I suggest you backup statements.

I suppose it's better for them to give updates rather than just leave security holes open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
