phpbb, to avoid hacking

[T o n g <mlist4suntong@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

On the second day that we put our private forum on the web, we already 
saw crackers trying to hack into the forum, using some kind of automated 
tools. 

I'm totally new to phpbb, but I guess the automated tool will try to 
attack some well known predefined urls, for phpbbs it'd be site/phpbb/
ucp.php?mode=register, it that so? 

If I move our forum entry off the well known /phpbb place, into something 
the automated tools never knew, would it at least prevent those existing 
cracking tools?

Thanks
