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.

An issue has cropped up with MediaWiki 1.17 ([https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29525 bug 29525]) which is due to changes in the load-balancer that are incompatible with the DatabaseHook used in SimpleSecurity.

Voodoo.svg 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.
