Just a quick question - following a bunch of sites recently being hacked we are reviewing our security procedures and seeing what we can do to make our sites as bullet-proof as is possible.

One thing we're doing is making use of more of the features of Admin Tools including the SQL injection protection which comes as part of it. We also found another plugin, Marco's Interceptor, which does the same thing and were wondering if it was necessary to have both or should we be safe enough with just Admin Tools?

And just to say also thanks for making out task easier, AdminTools is a great component to help protect Joomla sites!

Hi,

Marco's plugin is in the state my code was three years ago, before I published Admin Tools Professional. It only handles some basic attacks and throws a lot of false positives. Admin Tools Professional is more thorough and throws less positives. Having both enabled does not add any protection, it only blocks legitimate users using words like insert and delete in their requests.
