Tools | Joomla! Web Security

Chapter 3. Tools

It is said that a man is as good as his tools. As a Joomla! administrator, your administrative skills will be enhanced or hampered by the tools you have and the ones you select.

These tools cover many tasks ranging from diagnostics to defence. While there are many more tools than the ones listed, we will look at the ones that you may use the most.

Introduction

In this chapter, you will read about very powerful and useful tools such as the (think Swiss Army Knife) Nmap, and the Joomla! Tools suite, which gives you a range of diagnostic tools, made especially for Joomla!—tools for seeing what's ON the wire, that being wireshark, and an early detection tool known as JCHECK.

We'll briefly cover some vulnerability tools. They test your site for security holes and allow you to fix them before you are attacked.

You should take the time and effort to download and learn each of the following tools on a test system:

Joomla! HISA Joomla! Tools Suite v1.0-3F
Joomla Tools Suite Assurance
