RSFirewall! R42 comes with two highly awaited (and requested) features: country blocking and automatically blacklisting repeat offenders.

Captcha and reCaptcha when downloading files

The new RSFiles! revision 10 allows you to publish downloadable files on your Joomla! website and protect them from bots with standard CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA. The visitors will have to enter the human check codes before being able to download files

Joomla! 1.5.25 and 1.7.3 have been released today with an important security update, which fixes several issues found in the password resetting mechanism.

We've updated RSFirewall! with Joomla! 1.5.25 and 1.7.3 hash files as well.

Both, Joomla! 1.5 and 1.7 users are advised to upgrade Joomla! and RSFirewall! to the latest versions and perform a new RSFirewall! "System Check".

The Joomla! Developer Team has announced the availability of two new Joomla! versions (1.7.2 and 1.5.24), both fixing several medium security issues detected in previous releases.

The RSFirewall! source code has been updated with Joomla! 1.7.2 and 1.5.24 hash files as well.

With the release of Joomla! 1.5.21, we’ve updated RSFirewall! with new security checks and added some fixes: hash files for Joomla! 1.5.21, site database check, a new .htaccess verification added in “System Check” and many more.

1. Added Database Check

Starting with RSFirewall! rev. 19, the “Database Check” tab has been added to verify the integrity of your site's database and fix erorrs if possible.

You can now perform 2 site checks: a security scan using the “System Check” to perform an in-depth Joomla! installation verification (more details about the “System Check”) and a database scan using the "Database Check" tab
