Renaming wp-admin without hard-coding it. Is it really possible? #70

_The less it looks/is built like default WP, the harder it is to attack known vulnerabilities. Being able to rename those directories can help stop an exploit dead in its tracks. _

So I would like to rename my wp-admin folder without hard-coding it due to security concerns. Is it really possible?

I don't recommend you do this. If you're really worried about it, you could use .htaccess to set up HTTP auth as an additional measure of protection. Also, use SSL for the WordPress admin.
