Nuke 7.7 through 7.9 are not very secure, and they are no longer being patched with security fixes. 7.6 was the last real secure Nuke and is still being patched (latest patch version 3.2) You should also be running something like NukeSentinel™ as an addon security measure. You can get the latest version [ Register or login to view links on this board.] .

Just remember to backup all original files involved before editing/overwriting.

Thank you very much. Do I upload these into the existing file such as: All admin files go into the admin folder already in my site or do I upload the folder so it is all by itself?

Ok I got everything in but now I get this

Operation Status!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everything seems to have completed succeesfully icon_smile.gif

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operation Complete!
Goto NukeSentinel™ Admin


And then this:
It appears that NukeSentinel™ has not been configured correctly. The most common cause is that you either have an error in the syntax that is including includes/nukesentinel.php from your mainfile.php, or you have not added the NukeSentinel™ code to your mainfile.php. Details for including this code are included in the download package in the Edits_For_Core_Files directory.


What is wrong?

Did you edit the mainfile as stated in the "Edits_For_Core_Files" folder?
