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.

Highly worth the money + excellent support

First of all I must say it's highly worth the money.

My website is under constant attack and so far I could just cross my fingers and hope for the best.

With admin tools I'm stress free.

I can see where it comes from, block the country, the ip range or the ip.

I also had to deal with the support 2 or 3 times and they were very professional : very fast and they could help.

At first you might be surprised by the amount of options you have.

But it's not a problem as the documentation is one of the most complete I have ever read.

I am one of the most demanding person and I'm very satisfied with this extension.

Admin Tools Pro is worth every penny

Nicholas! Thank you for this component and Akeeba Backup as well. You are so good at what you do - I love your work. Thanks for helping me help my clients and for making Joomla look so good. If I could give this 100 stars I would. Anyone wondering if they should invest in this? Don't waffle... just do it - you won't regret it.

A must have security tool

Either you hate it or love it but you certainly can't afford to loose it. This component is my life savior, Six of my clients' Websites were cruelly hacked beyond repair and the suffering was unbearable until i found this. My life is so much peaceful having this component installed on all my sites. The double layer protection makes it hard for hackers and spammers to take control of your site.

You just can't afford not to use it. Besides being a reasonably priced component and allowed for multi installation, this one is simply the best of the rest. Highly recommended.

I stumbled on Admin Tools one fine day, and it was the best "stumble" i ever had! Its the most PERFECT, EXCELLENT, SIMPLY FANTASTIC tool for a joomla site! I got hacked before Admin Tools, and that was the trigger in finding it. Am i GLAD i did! Please do yourself a favour and invest in Admin Tools, you won't regret it.

And the support is simple fabulous. Nicholas does not take support questions lightly. He's persistent with a support request and endevours to solve your problems.

I'm extremely happy with Admin Tools. Now i'm trying out Akeeba Backup Pro. So far....its Fantastic!! Duh!

Very well documented with abundance of features

I love this software. It took me many hours to get through the documentation which to me is a HUGE plus! It is so nice to find well documented software. This software has a LOT of features and a lot of options. With features and options comes complexity but Admin Tools is doing a GREAT job of simplifying the complexity. I will never again run a Joomla site without this software.

Akeeba is Second to NONE!!

There were other choices for site security. But after having a great experience with Akeeba Backup and Akeeba subscriptions I decided to use Akeeba Admin Tools. After installing it on a Saturday morning I had a problem, which turned out to be a silly login/logout thing. But I filled out a ticket and Nickolas got back to me within about 2 minutes. The quality of this company's extensions and the level of service are higher than I have ever experienced before, and I have bought many extensions and submitted many tickets/posts. Akeeba sets the standard by which all other extension developers should judge themselves by.

ADMIN TOOLS PRO worth the investment 10x

Highly recommend this comprehensive set of effective tools and learning how to properly use them. Right out of the box with a few easy tweaks if you follow the directions, you will build your Fort Knox. I am very impressed with all the logical features which are missing from other so called solutions. I can now sleep at night as was getting attacked 24/7 on my 125+ websites. It scares me to think of how vulnerable I was before. It took me getting hacked and having my hard work wrecked by malicious bad people to wake up and secure my intellectual property. Buy it now before it is too late!

Necessary security extension for Joomla

Admin Tools Pro is very powerful security extension for Joomla site. At the beginning of my history with web development I did not think much about protection of site. It has changed when I attended to Nicholas presentation of this great product on Joomla Day. I can really recommend this for everyone.
