Anyone pls give your view on the security of Xoops....

I was tired of begin repeating hack when using phpnuke even after repeating patch with secuity fix....which i believe the core of the system in phpnuke is full of security bug.

I hope XOOPS have a better security then phpnuke...any expert on security please made you comments..

it's pretty damn secure actually.. far more so than php nuke & then some!!

it can pretty much tackle the majority of script kiddies, & possibly a fairly good hacker.. but nothing in this world is 100% secure.. but the devs take security very seriously.. so any exploits or vulnerabilities are fixed in little time once identified..

there's other ways tho, that may not include hacking thru xoops.. so it's upto you to make sure ur servers are secure too.. :)

100% security is impossible, but we do strive at closing gaps as fast as possible.

Main problems are (in order of frequency) :
1) Server/Host/OS vulnerabilities
2) XOOPS 3rd party modules
3) XOOPS core

Hi,

I was wondering, if there is a security mailing list, where I can subscribe?

Thx,
Harald

not one specific to XOOPS, but the bugtrack mailing list athttp://www.securityfocus.com is usually the first place newly discovered vulnerabilities are posted.
