Introduction

Site Security

Admin Tools Professional is a comprehensive security enhancing component and site administration toolkit for your Joomla!™ site. We were the first component to offer a triple layer of security for your site: active server security with our .htaccess, NginX Conf and Web.Config Maker; active application security with our Web Application Firewall; passive security with our PHP File Change Scanner which detects new, modified and deleted files on your site and assesses them for signs of malicious intent. On top of that we offer a plethora of site administration tools to make your life easier. Now with Joomla! 5 support!


Features:

  • Quick setup wizard. Get up and running in a minute or less!
  • Security tightening .htaccess (Apache), nginx.conf (NginX) and web.config (IIS) file generator with a simple yet powerful user interface.
  • Highly configurable Web Application Firewall which blocks attacks threatening your site (such as SQL injection, XSS, DFI, RFI, malicious user agent, CSRF/spam-bot protection etc).
  • Settings protected by a password, to keep those tinkering clients from breaking their site.
  • Create temporary Super Users for when you want third party developers to have time–limited access to provide support directly on your site.
  • Emergency off–line mode.
  • Restrict access to the administrator login with a secret URL parameter and/or a server–level directory password/
  • Bad word filtering.
  • IP exclusive allow list to allow access to /administrator only for specific IPs.
  • IP deny list to permanently block IPs or blocks of IPs.
  • Modify sensitive or security–related HTTP headers beyond what Joomla can do.
  • Email on administrator login.
  • Block front-end Super User log-in.
  • Block or monitor Super User creation or modification.
  • Block fingerprinting attacks.
  • Project Honeypot IP blacklist integration.
  • Automatic IP blocking of repeat offenders.
  • Email notifications of all detected security issues.
  • URL redirections (exclusive support for query parameters!).
  • Scheduled site maintenance operations.
  • Database, users, temporary folder and session maintenance.

...and many more!

Note: Admin Tools 7 is actively supported on Joomla! 4 and 5. Admin Tools 6 for Joomla! 3 is on security maintenance (no new features or bug fixes will be released).

The software is GPL; buying a single subscription you can install it on as many sites as you want and keep it running even after your subscription expires, without encrypted code, domain limitations or other such nuisances.

Functionality
This extension is an absolute MUST HAVE for any Joomla site. It has helped to not only improve performance on our site, but has blocked countless attacks and attempted hacks to our sites. If you only buy one extension for your Joomla site it must be this one.

The .htaccess maker alone is a reason to go with Pro (let alone all of the other goodies).
Ease of use
Easy to set up and use, but be careful of how you implement the .htaccess hardening, as it can cause some strange results if you don't know what you're doing!
Support
Prompt support!
Documentation
Value for money
This is a no-brainer for any Joomla installation

Excellent Investment

AdminTools (Pro) from Akeeba is one of the two first extensions I install on a Joomla website.



The other is also from Akeeba.



As well as enhancing site security, within AdminTools there are many other useful tools - this is a very useful toolkit.



The Site Security feature alone in my opinion is worth the Professional version's fee.



Documentation is very logically laid out and very in-depth.



Most matters are covered in the documentation, but where clarification is required the Akeeba site Support is excellent.



Well worth the fee - you will save it time and again with the useful features.



Keep it up Akeeba !

worth the money

After a huge crash of my administrated websites by hacker attacks 2 yrs ago I use AdminTools Pro. Since then I am getting daily notes about blocked attack trials. It's amazing, how many hacker are trying to attack my sites! But Admintools blocks reliably these trials. Thank you the creators in Cyprus!
I have owned the extension for years and I get more from it each year. I love feeling secure. The support is very exceptionally great, and it does provide courteous and very expert advice. Obviously an absolute essential. Great support ticket system with so much to teach about security.

Working with the extension is a pleasure. I use the extension for our law firm. I is so worthwhile to use each of the tools, and each is easy, and the really powerful.

Great and essential
