This module is about strengthening the security of your Drupal site. Drupal is fairly secure out of the box, but as new technology emerges with HTML5, site maintainers must keep up.
This module:
Allows you to move your administration panel from /admin to /something-else. This is done by modifying the menu entries, not simply by rewriting URL's on input and output.
Manage Javascript sources to minimize the risk of Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attacks
Hash passwords client side
More to come...
Change URL of administration panel
Move all of the administration panel URL's from admin/something to secret/something. This prevents attackers from targeting vulnerable admin pages because the location does not exist. Note that enabling this module will cause issues with core's Toolbar module. The majority of links will be removed from the menu because the Toolbar module specifically looks for URL's with the path admin/% when building the menu. These paths do not exist and therefore the menu links are not added. This is not an issue with the Admin Menu module.
