GuardXT

Description:

GuardXT performs some Joomla security checks on your website. The "heart" of GuardXT is a file system check (best scheduled as a cron job), that regularly monitors changes of your files. Additionally various security checks may be performed (e.g. check Joomla configuration, PHP settings etc...).

The results are presented in an easy to use and understand interface, and most security issues can be fixed immediately from the there.

GuardXT consists of several modules:

Security News: Receives the JoomlaXT security news and displays them in the admin component.
Version Check: Checks for latest version of Joomla! and GuardXT.
File Guard: Checks your file system for changes, detects unsafe directory and file permissions.
Configuration Check: Performs some basic checks of your Joomla configuration.
