Description of my issue:

Hi, the documentation states that if the "Allow administrator access only to IPs in Whitelist" then "All other attempts to access the administrator pages will be redirected to the site's home page".

This is not the case on a Windows computer. On a Mac, yes I am redirected to the home page when I don't type in my admin key, but when I'm using a windows machine, and I try to access the admin panel, I get a page that says "Forbidden". This tells potential hackers that I have a directory called "administrator".

i wouldnt worry about it man. Use a htaccess file for the admin dir + the atp administrator? key and that more than enough.

the truth is a potential attacker has far more easier ways to identify that your using joomla, than probing whether or not you have and admin directory.
