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.

What to say that wasn't already said...

Perfect... Effective... Essential... Excellent Support...

Among the first 5 extensions to be installed before starting any new project (with Akeeba Backup of course...)

Great job

This protects the site effectively, the .htaccess generator is quite easy to work, and even the naughty plugins or components that need to 'directly execute' a file can be taken care of, it just requires a small amount of detective work, and a lot thoroughness.

It also holds all the functionality of a lot of the small plugins that are free, but here it's put together in one package, which makes maintenance a lot easier.

A must have for any Joomla Site

Excellent, must have extension.

Since I installed it, I cought and prevented several attacks on my website.

I never thought before that there are so many bad IPs whant to harm my website, now I have automated protection and detailed insights in every security exceptions that occurs on my website.

If you have access to your raw log file on your web server, than you can track all bad activities.

It became fun, tracking and blocking of bad IP-s, and report them to projecthoneypot to help others.

Every recommendations from me and my team.

Perfect tool ...

especially if you want to care for the content of your site and not for technical matters. It shows and solves many problems. It works perfect with p8pbb-bridge. Thanks for this great tool! I also use akeeba backup, because it does a very good work too!

Very solid and useful security extension for all your site.

I've been using Admin Tools Pro for over a year and has always been very satisfied with it. It does what is advertise. It's updated frequently with bug fix and improvements which is reassuring as a client. I know the developers are maintaining this extension (and their others BTW) very well, seriously and consciously.

It is also an added value to the service i provide to my clients. Making them also happy to know additional security is added to their websites.

I started with the free version, but was so happy, that it took me only 2 seconds to think whether i should get the pro version or not.

I've never been disappointed. The support is excellent and fast. And i never had some stupid answers you can get by other paid extension support because they don't read your question or other answer properly or stupid/irrelevant answers to buy time. With the Akeeba team i get a working answer all the time.

85 euros for Admin Tool Pro and Akeeba Backup Pro plus high priority and private ticket support; is nothing. If you think about it. For any web developer (newbie or agencies) that cost is absorbed by only one (yes 1) contract. But you get to install these Pro extension on as many sites as you want.

All in all, i strongly recommend this extensions and their other ones. For me they became part of my default install with JCE when i start a joomla website.

Admin Tools Pro is an excellent component which cuts the time to secure a site by 10-fold

That to use it for:

- to generate the .htaccess that optimizes and secures the operation of a site without writing virtually any line of code.

- To combine the .js and .css and today I just beat all records of page load time with with less than 20 requests in 5 - 10 seconds measured by Firebug and a score of 90-95 which is A in YSlow.

- To clean the sessions, repair the database, create a password for the administrator directory... and many other things. Admin Tools performs these tasks that before were simply tedious and time required a lot of research and several components and plugins to use.

Note: Up until now on the same test site with different competitor components and plugins I had trouble getting better than 40 requests, 12 seconds of load time and a score of 80 in YSlow. (I have a low level ADSL 512 Kb to 1 Mb)

I would have not gotten these speed scores of my site without quality Akeeba documentation and the advice which Nicholas gives for Admin Tools Pro and other products that I use (Akeeba Subscriptions, Akeeba Release System and Akeeba Backup).

The forms of technical support are very profitable for a webmaster like me who developed his own websites with the great Joomla CMS without being a pro PHP programmer.

5 stars or more, at least!

Akeeba more products are already available for Joomla 3.0

Nicholas, good luck for this excellent work.

Changed over to Admin Tools...

We do run a flourishing Joomla 2.5 community. I was looking for an extension that was able to automatically optimise the session tables. This was the first contact with “Admin Tools”. After bombarding Nicholas with mails full of presales questions and receiving speedy and very useful replies I decided to purchase Admin Tools Pro. I was amazed by the great coding, the features the Tool offers and the awesome documentation. Actually it made me remove a competitor’s security solution and I changed over to Admin Tools completely. The site speed went up and thanks to Nicholas I was able to remove a problem that I did not even knew I had. One strange error that I was not able to track down to the competitor’s solution went away thanks to Nicholas!

Technically the extension is fantastic!

Support is great and Nicholas does more than one can expect!

We also used Akeeba Backup, which saved us many times. And just to say thank you we went professional there too.

Thanks to Nicholas and the other great developers the Joomla world is definitely a wonderful place!

A must have - dont leave home without this one!!
