kareebu Secure is a Plugin that adds an extra layer of protection to your website. By default anyone can access the /administrator folder and see that you are running Joomla!.
With kareebu Secure enabled you can protect the /administrator folder with an extra password.
This is a fork of jSecure. What's different ?
kareebu Secure has two ways in which he can operate: HTTP Authentication and (old) Compatibility mode. Both modes have been tested and work without bugs.
kareebu Secure is FREE SOFTWARE released under GNU/GPL.
Easy to use, very usefull, very light. A great tool for us, the Admins.
Great work kareebu -:@
From last few we are trying to improve the security for my news portal website.
Goggled for most optimized solution to provide security to "/administrator" folder.
I tried almost all solutions, found "kSecure" is the best solution and available in as simple plugin.
Immediately we installed in all our joomla websites.
I re-activated my joomla account to review this plugin.

At least this will add another security level before any one reach the admin dir. thank you

The 1.7/2.5 version is available for download. Cheers :-)
Great extension. Before, I was using JSecure for the same purposes, but now you have to pay for it. kSecure is non-commercial and does the job perfectly.
this is the best free solution to masking your /administrator path to your admin backend access. Face it now your making joomla sites and ya wanna know who's using the same stuff...well this plugin will keep them guessing. I tried every non commercial admin protection on joomla and this is the best hands down!!! Let me not take any credit away from other developers, they work hard and just like this developer needs the respect when due.
Thank you
Thank you
I tried this plugin several times on my sites and the HTTP mode will not work. It just redirects you back to the main site. The other mode will however work. I really wanted the HTTP mode so I'm forced to find another solution.
I used JSecure until it went commercial. This one seems to do pretty much the same - but for free! Worked out of the box for me. Absolutely recommended!
Does exactly what you want it to do. The great feature is that you can have different passwords to get into the admin section. Hopefully this will frustrate hackers. (I really think it will). Great job. Thanks
I use this a lot and it's just so simple and easy to use. One thing that used to catch me out - and might be the cause of the problems some of the negative posters have suffered.
When you follow the instructions and click the second of the 2 radio buttons to activate this plugin - BANG - you're kicked out of the backend! (without having physically logged out). In my experience, if you try and log back in straight away - no joy - you are locked out of the site. Have a coffee, read your emails and come back after the default 15 mins - no problem. If you've set your admin down time to a longer interval - come back after you've timed out.
This I found out by trial and error - not sure it's written down anywhere. It works for me!

I've used Ksecure on every site that I've built since the original (Jsecure) went AWOL. I was checking the JED here to verify that I am still using the latest release when I noticed some of the negative reviews below. They inspired me to post my own review. Don't believe the bad reviews. This plugin is excellent. I have never locked myself out of a site. Thank you, Kareebu, for sharing this great tool with us!!
