Plugin for checking logins?

Post by Joe Dobiecki-Davies »

Hello guys,

I was just wondering, is there a plugin that lets me check who is trying to access my website, and what they input in the username and password box? I am a bit paraniod about SQL injections and such.

thanks,
-Joe

Hi!

We developers are also very paranoid about SQL injections. I wouldn't use s9y if I didn't feel that there are none. ;)

The serendipity_event_externalauth plugin contains some very basic form of login logging. One could use that as as starting point for developing a plugin with some basic PHP code that logs the info.

Of course, you could also always modify the s9y code in the serendipity_authenticate_author() function and simply log the username and password somewhere...that's just a matter of a few code lines, but it wouldn't give me any more security if I needed to wade through that log everytime :)

Regards,
Garvin
