The Joomla Project announces the immediate availability of Joomla 1.5.17 [Wojmamni ama woobusani]. This is a priority release to correct two issues in version 1.5.16. Although there are no security issues fixed in this release, we consider it a security release because a security-related bug has been fixed and because many sites may be upgraded directly from 1.5.15 to 1.5.17.
The Development Working Group's goal is to continue to provide regular, frequent updates to the Joomla community.

Almost all of you still use admin as the master account... I don't and I hope Joomla 1.6 will make you specify a username during install.
That being said I login and make a brand new super admin, log out, log back in with that new user, go into user manager, and make admin a registered user and then disable the account.
The next security measure I make is I get my hostmask (im comcast customer) .*.comcast.net is my hostmask... I am about to have business class services installed in my home so it will be a static ip as static ips will work for my next trick...
<Limit GET>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from .wa.comcast.net
Allow from .sbcglobal.net
</Limit>
Put that into an .htaccess inside the administrator directory (replacing my hostmask with your own) and it requires anyone to have access to www.joomlamafia.com/administrator to have to have the same ISP in the same state as i, and the other location I work from have their ISP... and if I want access i have to first ssh/sftp into the site and edit the .htaccess to add in another ISP if I was out of town like I was this past week staying at a hotel.

We finally put the new design up, Our download section has been really revamped and will have more changes coming to it in the next few weeks, Almost every piece of our softwares been updated as well. Hope you like the new look.
Known issues currently!
Users can not register, we have it disabled as our new system is being developed
Mafia Icons area - its got two errors with simple image gallery that are showing.
Downloads Section - Theres a button that says Details it doen't appear to work on some pages because its already in the Detailed section.
Downloads Section - We have some text thats all caps such as PRICE and it needs some CSS improvement.
There is only so much two people can do. hence this article but finding decent people is a lot harder to do then one would think. |
