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.

Just awesome, a must have

I purchased the deluxe setup which includes the backup tool, so this review includes both. These are the first two extensions that go into every site I build.

If nothing you should get the product for the unbelievable support you get from Nicholas. In addition there is a knowledge base you can use to try and find the answer to a possible problem.

As far as the extension goes, it has some really cool options especially in the WAF.

Of course, I went over the top in my setup (that is what I do) on that and promptly locked myself out of the site. No problem, I went to the knowledge base and immediately new how to fix the situation.

The builder of htaccess files is awesome, link to Bad Behavior use(search for Bad Behavior extensions, they were pulled from this site a couple of years ago because of a code issue with core Joomla! This software is running just fine), Honeypot implementation and more. You can black or whitelist specific ip addresses, as well as lock out entire country ips. You can plan for what to do if there are security exceptions; ban them after a certain number of tries, email you when it happens, and so on. Go ahead and google this extension to see what you find. I would be hard pressed to find something negative about it.

Don't be stupid, just buy it. I just wish all commercial extension people stood behind their product like Nicholas does.

Want a secure site? GET THIS NOW!

There's no such thing as perfect security for anything on the internet, but if you've had problems with your site being hacked, this is an absolutely essential tool to help you secure your site. Nick is very knowledgeable, and also very generous with his time and replies if you buy the supported version -- but even the core version is an absolute must-have. I can't run any kind of secure site without this program; it's an absolute GOD-SEND.

Must Have

This is a must have extension. Very reasonable priced for the amount of features.

Security is a constant moving target but with this extension you can at least pinpoint most of the common issues.

Works out of the box and it should be in every site you build

Not everything works but as a core component, a must have!

I'm still having issues with one hosting company saying that my site isn't as safe as they think it could be but it's nice to know that with AdminTools Pro, it's better than the core system.

Excellent extension

I recently had 8 sites hacked in a week (a couple of them more than once). This was frustrating, annoying and wasted lots of my time.

I read the reviews of Admin Tools Professional & decided to try it.

This is the best extension I have ever purchased. It is very reasonably priced, installed without any problems, was easy to configure and came with great support documentation.

I've had no more instances of hacking so far (hope this continues).

If you have a joomla site then you need this extension too.

Thank you ...

Superb!

I use it for a couple of years and after with Akeeba backup it is the second most valuable extention i have ever used ( i use the PRO version). Updates are very frequent and everything i tried works well.

It's should be your first component to install it on your Joomla site!

Admin Tools are simply great. This component is the first installation on any of my Joomla sites. It can do a lot of work for you and it keeps your site safe. Upgrades are easy and support from guys is quick and valuable. Really a must have!

The best extension for security and protection!

Last month I renewed my subscription for Admin Tools Pro and realised that this extension is really important to me. Why? Just because I don't feel safe without it and I do not have to worry about the security and protection of my website.

This extension has it all: htaccess-maker, Web Application Firewall, protection for spam, SQL injection, CSRF-shield etc., blocking options and even more.

You really need to read the documentation but trust me, it's worth the effort and you will understand this extension a lot better.

Support is without doubt the very best in the Joomla community, Nicholas is a great guy and gives you all the support you need and even more! Absolutely recommended!
