RSFirewall! 2.11.15 is a Joomla security component that combines an active firewall with system and file checks. It can inspect submitted data for SQL injection, XSS, LFI and known malware patterns, verify Joomla core-file integrity and record security events in system logs. The extension also provides administrator protection, IP blocking and country-based access rules, giving site owners several layers of control from the Joomla backend.
The System Check scans the Joomla installation and server configuration for issues such as file integrity, insecure permissions, outdated software and other settings that can affect site security. The results provide administrators with a list of items that need attention.
The Active Scanner works while the site is running and checks requests for known attack patterns. SQL injection, XSS, LFI and suspicious uploads are among the types of activity that can be filtered or logged.
Access controls include IP blocklists and safelists, an additional backend password and country blocking when the required geographic IP database is configured. Security events can be reviewed through the component logs.
RSFirewall can also check database tables and monitor Joomla core files for changes. This article refers to the older 2.11.15 release, so the description focuses on functions available in that generation rather than current RSFirewall version numbers.
