RSFirewall! 2.11.24 is a Joomla 3 security component for checking the installation and filtering suspicious requests. It includes core-file integrity checks, malware-related scanning, monitoring of newly changed files and an active scanner for common attack patterns. Administrators can also restrict extension installation, review security events and apply IP or country-based access rules from the Joomla backend.
The component can compare Joomla core files and scan the site for known suspicious code or unexpected changes. This provides a way to investigate altered files without relying only on visible frontend symptoms.
The active scanner works during normal site operation and can react to requests that match configured security rules. Events are recorded so administrators can review what was blocked and identify repeated sources of unwanted traffic.
Access controls include IP-based rules and country-related blocking when geographic data is available. Additional settings can limit sensitive administrator actions such as installing new extensions.
Version 2.11.24 included fixes related to IPv6 searching and the display of country flags for IP addresses. Those changes are specific to this release, while the broader protection and scanning functions remain the main purpose of the component.
