Just uploaded the censored version of my slides to:

Thank you for the demonstration last night at SJUG - was by far the best demonstration on why you must change the super admins id number and rename your SQL tables Ive seen.

Thanks Ian, I'm glad you liked it. I had some fun putting it all together. I think it's important to demonstrate the risks, so people are more likely to pay attention to the advice. We often see mentions of SQL injection, LFI local file inclusion, path disclosure vulnerabilities etc, but many people have no idea what these are and what they can do to protect themselves. Maybe I should do another demo at the Sydney Joomladay in November, I'm sure I could find some more vulnerabilities to demonstrate to keep it interested for those that attended last night

Thanks Tim, great presentation last night and thanks for sharing the your slides. Really interesting Stuff.

Thanks for the info Tim. I've implemented a few of the suggestions across my sites already. I'm new on the forum after using the Global forums on the main site for a few years now. I'll see how we go here for answers for a while. Am I seeing the heading correctly - Making Joomla! Insecure?
Is that a typo, irony or is there something else I don't know. Shouldn't it read Making Joomla! Secure?
Or perhaps I've missed the joke.

Cheers,
Russell

Good idea. I could use a refresher already.
