Layer 1: Signature-based Detection System - detecting most common hacking behaviours.
a) Surface Scanning, once hacking behaviour is found, the activity and corresponding IP will be banned immediately.
Layer 2: Pattern-based Instruction Detection Systems - blocking all inbound malicious codes and hacking activities, including network-, application-, and operating system-level attacks.
a) Scans and monitors all URL, Form Fields, Cookies values.
b) If hacking is found and the Risk Score exceed the secure level, the IP will be banned immediately.
c) If Suspicious Hacking behaviour is found for Form Fields and Cookies hacking, the hacking strings in the Form / Cookies value will be stripped and sanitized.
2. Two Types of reactions:
a) Ban + Email Alert: If the hacking triggers Layer 1 protection or exceed the Risk Score in Layer 2 protection, the IP will be blocked, and the alert email will be sent to the administrator.
b) Log + Email Alert: If the Risk Score of the suspicious behaviour is lower than the global setting, the IP will be blocked for monitoring purpose, and the alert email will be sent to the administrator.
3. Form Field Filtering Enabled - allowing users to filter the content of the form fields in order to prevent XSS attacks.
4. Whitelist Setting Enabled – Unlike other security software which only provides IP whitelist function, OSE PHP Anti-Hacker also provides the whitelist function for your programs and form fields, so that it gives you the flexibility to user a wide range of software while maintaining a high level of protections.
5. Supports for Search Engine Optimized Websites – providing protection while maintaining your page ranking.
6. Instant emails alerts to administrators once suspicious hacking behavior is logged.
7. The application is developed under an Open Source PHP basis using the Model-View-Control Architect. Therefore its functions can be easily extended to other Open Source PHP systems.

After we were hacked on a Joomla site we felt compelled to have a look at Anti-Hacking devices. We decided for this one - especially as it supports the opensource approach, but also for the impressive features!
Installation was somewhat more complex than we are used to - at least on our setup. But the developper gave us outstanding support until the installation worked (way beyond the value of the price of the software!)
Now we can see, how often hackers are attacking our sites.... frightening, yet we are pretty sure the IP locking mechanism works very well :)
Furthermore we are made aware of any potential weaknesses in components we use by displaying warning messages. This is helpful, though at times cumbersome. However, even here the developper has been very helpful indeed in explaining in understandable terms what is going on and how to resolve issues.
So we learned.... making a website safer is more complex than we ever imagined - but got outstanding support in the process and a highly recommendable piece of software at a *very* reasonable price.

We've been in business with Joomla for 5 years now, testing and buying commercial extensions most of the time, looking for robust performance and reliability and this is the first time that we came across not only with an exceptional product but with the most great customer experience so far!
Indeed! As customers we encountered a coherent and solid developed extension and a enthusiastic team behind ready to support and help with commitment!
We are looking forward to this engaging company's products, services, and customer support model. We'll promote them without hesitation on our fellow Adobe User Groups around the world.
Kudos to all the team!

My website is hit by the iframe virus. After that, I purchased and installed the Anti-Hacker Software. At first, I felt the proper installation and usage of the component is not straightforward, however the developer is very helpful. She guides me to install the software and how to use the component.
So far, the software has helped to prevent virus attack on my website.
Thank you very much.

I was at my wit's end until I encountered this software. It's very reasonably priced, super easy to install, even for someone who is somewhat of a Joomla! beginner. And, the support is excellent. I highly recommend this product.

I decided to buy this component even though it's only Beta3 (RC1 coming soon)because it has NO license restrictions and offers unlimited installations (very important for a developer).
The component was easy to install and comes with detailed install instruction. More documentation is available at the developers website. For the setup of all security options you need some time but those are not complicated to implement.
The component does the job - you can test it (even with your own IP) and with an easy routine you can unblock your IP after testing.
I integrates nicely with GuardXT (use recommended by the developer) and you have a full scope of security measures at your hand.
It scans for malicious code in your Joomla installation - but that's not all - you can check all PHP systems on your server. The scans did run without any conflicts.
I had some minor issues to adapt the component to my needs and the developer responded very fast via the forum. Thumbs up!
The minor issues I had will be handled with the RC1 release. I recommend this component as I believe you get a secured website at a fair price.
