Nuke Module Access

[dfwcomputer]

i have 2 different versions of nuke and just wondering what the difference is between the following 2 pieces of code that are used to protect the modules.This code is located at the very beginning of the index file, Is one more secure than the other? or if any what is the difference.

 

if (!eregi("modules.php", $PHP_SELF)) {
  die ("You can't access this file directly...");
}

 

and

 

if ( !defined('MODULE_FILE') )
{
    die("You can't access this file directly...");
}

[Nhoj]

if (!eregi("modules.php", $PHP_SELF)) {

  die ("You can't access this file directly...");

}

 

^-- That searches to see if the page we are accessing from the address bar is "modules.php", if it is it displays that error.

 

if ( !defined('MODULE_FILE') )

{

    die("You can't access this file directly...");

}

^-- Somewhere in a different nuke file it defines what a MODULE_FILE is, if MODULE_FILE is not defined on that page then display the same error...

 

Whether or not one is more secure than the other would require you to find the part that defines 'MODULE_FILE'

argh ok,,,

 

i also found this in modules.php

 

define('MODULE_FILE', true);
