Taipo Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Version 2.3.1 does not actually 'need' any of the security addons although it doesn't hurt to use a few of them. osC_Sec was designed for versions earlier than 2.3 so is not mandatory to use on 2.3 and higher. On the issue of updates, the last update 4.2[r8] will be the final update unless some issues arise.

Jack_mcs Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 If i run ver 2.3.1 do i need to always upated with these addons Did not know if I have to Thanks You're question is different than the thread title so I'm not sure if this applies but you should install SiteMonitor. Whether or not 2.3 is secure doesn't mean your host is or that a hacker won't find a new way in tomorrow, or even if someone uploaded a file they didn't mean to. You need to be able to find such changes,which is what SiteMonitor does.

kintsuru Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Curious. If 4.2[r8] is the last update, then what is the 5.0[final]? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taipo Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Basically the same. I've uploaded osC_Sec again in the addons section so as to give a better description in the main description box. See the old one here http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7834 Versus the new one here http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/8283 In the process I felt it pertinant to give it a different version number since that will be the last update....yunno...end on a round number. ; ) There is a slight difference in the code but not enough to warrant users having to update. I will leave that up to you.

kintsuru Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 OK. I was worried that I mis-read that, because I use 2.2 and I have been using the first version all along. Here, this gives me the opportunity to say Thanks, too. I was using cross-script code and site monitor and a bunch of other code scattered throughout the site and htaccess files, and yours greatly simplified my life.

Taipo Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Glad to help. While osC_Sec plugs most of the holes in the proverbial dyke for the 2.2 range, because you are using 2.2, I would still suggest you use Sitemonitor if you were considering not using it.
