How does the Breadcrumb feature help website visitors?
Most websites are structured like a tree with the trunk being the homepage. from the homepage, visitors can choose to go to one of numerous branches. They can then choose to go from a main branch to one of the smaller branches. The breadcrumb feature allows the visitor to see where they are in the website, how they got there and also to return directly to any of the branches they passed on the way. 
 
Imagine a world traveller decides to visit a country. The person then decides upon state or province within the country to visit. Then a region and then a specific town.
The breadcrumb would look like this.
Australia>>Queensland>>Sunshine Coast>>Eumundi
 
 
What is the administrator control panel for?

How does SecurityPro work?
When it was discovered that certain strings in ecommmerce codes were vulnerable to being hacked, SecurityPro was
created to sanitize the incoming ($_GET/$HTTP_GET_VARS) at source allowing only the following characters: -
a-z
A-Z
0-9
.(dot)
-(hyphen)
_(underscore)
{}
space
%
 
How does SiteMonitor work?
Quite often hackers alter and add files to allow more files to be added at a later date. Such files often go unnoticed for weeks or months. This tools sends you an email daily telling you which files have been altered.
 
How does the IP trap work?
IP Trap is a single page or a number of pages set up so that only busy bodies and hackers will find. These pages trigger an immediate ban for that IP address.
 
What is the permission checker?
The permission checker is a tool which makes it easy to check and update all permissions for files and folders.
 
What is XSS?
Anti XSS means "Anti Cross Site Scripting". It's useful if there are more than one website on your hosting account.
This changes hacker strings so that if one site is hacked, the other sites are protected.
 
Why are security features necessary?
Since ecommerce scripts allow administrators to control the online shop and allow visitors to create accounts, skilled hackers are able to find ways to enter the website and change the permanent coding. The ecommerce community has responded by creating and sharing a number of security features to control and prevent such attacks. If an online shop is set up and indexed in Google without ALL necessary security features, it is only a matter of weeks or months before the site will be attacked and penetrated.
 
What are hacker's trying to achieve?
After installing an ecommerce script without security, then being hacked and then doing the big job of cleaning up and installing all possible security features one by one, store owners ask "What are hacker's trying to achieve?"
The most likely long term goal is money. The most likely short term goal is to gain access to other people's websites and alter files. The are countless methods for a hacker to reach their long term goals but one example is as follows:-
The altered files allow the hacker to add more files. The added files are used to add complete programs or new websites. Some hackers leave obvious signs which prompt the website owners to restore their website but the more successful hackers leave the website operating. The added programs are able to automatically download and install programs into the computers of website visitors. Almost all of these are blocked by computer security programs but if a computer doesn't have sufficient internet security, the program can be installed on a personal, business or government computer to collect information. As we all know, information is power and power is money. For example, a criminal can use another person's information (identity theft) to impersonate that person and gain access to their finances.
