This is an excellent article, tailored to the newbie's level of understanding. I learned how to: Use IP address based protection, from reading it. As they say, "An ounce of prevention, is worth a pound of cure!"
An excellent resource for anyone that might want to add an extra layer of protection to their admin panel and Install directory. Thanks for sharing this.
