I am very happy with TotalShield for apache ( www.applicure.com ). it filters out all the attacks on phpnuke.

Analyze.php for PHP-Nuke/phpBB is an application level tool  It isn't 
meant to prevent live attacks, only inform the sysadmin what is vulnerable 
on the server among other things.

However, thanks for the link.  When trying to visit it currently, I get 
this page:

Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on

Warning: Unknown: Failed opening '/var/www/applicure/index.php' for 
inclusion (include_path='.:/wwwroot/php/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0

It appears that even this site is displaying errors.  It would behoove 
them to disable that in php.ini.  Displaying of errors on a production 
website is frowned upon.

I have released an application called Fortress in the past which filters 
live attacks on PHP sites including PHP-Nuke.

The Beta 120 (1.20) is the version to get, although updated code exists 
which hasn't yet been released:
