Extension:SimpleSecurity

From OrganicDesign Wiki

This code exhibits voodoo programming techniques. The most common of these is extending an instance's class at runtime after it has been instantiated, a technique that can be used to provide additional hooks into existing code without requiring modification of code-base files. For a list of all our scripts which exhibit voodoo, see Category:Code that uses voodoo.

This code has been moved to svn at http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/SimpleSecurity See the discussion page for development notes and details and the mediawiki.org page for installation and usage documentation

SimpleSecurity5.0

SS5 is the next major version of SimpleSecurity which has file-security re-implemented and a few other minor upgrades, but the main new feature is database encryption so those with root access to the system are still unable to view content. The sysop-can-view-all concept is to be deprecated.
