When I build a website, I try to make it as secure as possible. Most everyone knows the default path to the admincp or modcp of a vBulletin website. yoursite.com/forum/admincp, or yoursite.com/forum/modcp. This may vary depending on what the upload folder was named.

Examples:

applecp
orangecp
billycp

Make the name so they are easy for you to distinguish on your ftp site. You can name them after your pets, children, parents or whatever. The "cp" does not need to be on the end of it.

Rename the admincp and modcp folders to another name. You must change the includes/config.php file to match the names of your new folders, or you will not be able to access the admincp or modcp.
