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.

SimpleSecurity5.0

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.
