If you want to be sure that jHackGuard is installed and working correctly on your website, you can emulate a "hacking attempt" (don't worry it's completely safe) and see if the plugin generates a log file for this.
To make the test, all you need to do is open your favorite browser and enter this URL:
http://www.yourdomain.com/30/index.php?test=eval(base64_decode('jHackGuardTest'));
Doing this will generate a log file in the /logs/ directory of your Joomla site named jhackguard-log.php with the following content:
|
1
2
|
#Fields: datetime priority category message
2013-03-25T06:52:26+00:00CRITICAL jhackguard Changed GET value from:eval(base64_decode(\'jHackGuardTest\'));to:'jHackGuardTest'));
|
If you see this log, this means that jHackGuard is installed and working correctly on your site!
