Introducing Zap Audit: Take Back Control of Your Joomla Website
If you ever had a Joomla site hacked, you know how difficult it is to clean up the site. Hacked files can be sprinkled among the thousands of files and folders in the Joomla filesystem and are not easily found by an administrator. Looking at file dates and combing through web server logs are the manual techniques to find these files, which is a laborious process and missing just one file is an opportunity for a site to be re-infected all over again. Hacked sites can be blocked by web browsers or shut down by ISP's until they are cleaned up.
Zap Audit is our newest Joomla extension and was written by a Joomla administrator for Joomla administrators to combat hacking of Joomla sites. It allows administrators to take back control of their Joomla site. Zap Audit finds hacked files, recommends best practices based on a site analysis and provides proactive monitoring to minimize damage from future hack attacks. Zap Audit can save hours of work cleaning up a site, allowing you to delay or even eliminate the need to rebuild a hacked Joomla website from scratch. It runs entirely within your Joomla website, so no data is transferred outside your company. Zap Audit can even analyze an offline site that is down due hacking or other reasons by analyzing the zipped files from the site using Zap Audit installed on another Joomla site.

Zap Calendar 4.2.0 Now Available
