Hi there. I received a threat to my forum with the warning that it would be hacked with this tool (acunetix (http://www.acunetix.com/)), I want to know how vulnerable is my vb 3.8.4 to such a tool and what measures should I take.

Thank you very much.

There is no known exploits in 3.8.4 as of right now. Though, you may wish to read this thread and follow instructions in there to make your forum more secure: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=172234

I installed the free version and set it to run here on vbulletin.com... It crashed about 10 minutes or so in. However, from the looks of it, that's not a hacking tool, but a tool to scan for possible vlunabilities (and if it is able to find anything, it'd be up for the person running to tool to decide what to do with it). I don't think you have a whole lot to worry about though.
