Hello,

As an non security expert I (have to) presume that osC 2.3.1 is a safe trading platform, able to deal with common hacking threads like SQL injection.

Going through the add-ons you encouter numerous extensions offering additional security. Most of them were developed for osC 2.2. Can anyone tell me which of the contribtions listed below should still be considered relevant for an osC 2.3.1 shop owner?

General

Security Pro http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5752
Protect your site via htaccess http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/6066
ANTI Cross Site Scripting attacks http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/6044
SiteMonitor http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/4441
Check Permissions 1.0 http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/6134

Secure your site with an IP trap http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5914
"Anti Hacker Login (security) for osCommerce (AHL4osC)
" http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7580
Activation Code http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5241

BE

Auto mysql backup http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/3100
Admin Account with Access Level http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1174
fatFrog Security http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7825

Please feel free to add suggestions for other add-ons if you think some essential item is missing or you have a better alternative.

Kind regards,

Dennis

<sup>Hello,

I've integrated the auto mysql backup add-on (http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/3100) to my store (I used the version of 17-1-2011 by cleiton.maia).

When called the mysqlcron.php file generates an email with a .zip file as an attachment. However I am unable to unzip it as it is declared "invalid" by my Windows Explorer.

Any suggestions what might go wrong here?

Thanks in advance.

Dennis</sup>
