Awesome section. thanks guys. I am just installing and testing Jsecure. :cheesy:
On a security note, I´ve noticed that on the page source of joomla sites there is
"<meta name="generator" content="Joomla! 1.5 - Open Source Content Management" />"
Just for test reasons I ve looked in edit HTML in the admin and looked in the php files and tried to modify and remove with dreamweaver but could not find the line that is shows on the page source.
Is it possible to remove that line?
I think this would be bit of a giveaway to any hacker right?? also it would be good the keep tools a secret for competitors of which you dont want to know how you made the site..
Kind Regards

- FYI. The website, www.theartofjoomla.com also has a tutorial on removing the Joomla information from the Meta Generator Tag.

I'm usually pretty adept with this stuff. Using the Mynxx template, I can't locate either cases of the code in the index.php.
The 'generator' code isn't there and there are so many isntances of <?php > that I don't know where to place the null value.
Is there any other suggested places I should look? Any other files?

Thats right, the code is not there, However as soon as you place this syntax the information will be replaced.
Add
<?php $this->setGenerator('Your META info here'); ?>
on line 89 to look like this ...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" " www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd ">
<html xmlns=" www.w3.org/1999/xhtml " xml:lang="<?php echo $this->language; ?>" lang="<?php echo $this->language; ?>" >
<head>
<?php $this->setGenerator('MY NAME!!!!'); ?>
