RSJoomla! Blog - RSFirewall!

A new RSFirewall! revision has just been released with hash files for the latest Joomla! 1.6 update (1.6.2).

Additionally, we've improved the RSFirewall! System Check algorithm by skipping the default Joomla! 1.6 templates, administrator and frontend.

Along with the newest Joomla! security update, recently announced on the www.joomla.org website, we too have released a new RSFirewall! revision with the specific 1.5.23 hash files.

Our recommendation is to update both Joomla! and RSFirewall! to the latest revisions and perform a new System Check.

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
