We're pleased to announce that a new version of RSFirewall! is now available for download on our website. This release is dedicated, almost in its entirety, to the extension's System Check feature, have a look!
System Check Improvements
Although no new features have been added, aside from the possibility to set a pause, in seconds, between requests - very useful if your hosting server is likely to regard you as an attacker when performing the System Check, this feature got some important tweaks meant to ease your experience in using RSFirewall!:
- The detection of base64-encoded strings has been improved
- If you have enabled XDebug in PHP, the System Check will no longer be available
- More coherent error messages when the System Check fails
Other Enhancements
Google bot
The Google bot is a software that Google uses in order to crawl web pages around the world and create an index through which it can then perform its searches. This bot is prone to getting banned by website security software like RSFirewall! and, up until this point, you had to create an exception by white-listing it.
In the new version of RSFirewall! this is no longer necessary, as the component will do this automatically.
IPs black / white-listing
When specifying IPs for black / white-listing, they will be automatically trimmed in order to have the possible blank spaces removed.

XDEBUG
Hello, what exactly is the reason why xdebug is not supported ?
Quotewe use xdebug without any ports opened to:
- provide backtraces for error reporting and intrusion analysis even after fastcgi close request
- provide inifinite recursion protection for the server, otherwise PHP will use all available memory and server will crash
these two points above are the main reasons why we use xdebug (without any ports opened) and it is not clear why RS Firewall does not support system check when this extension is enabled.
thank you, best regards, stan
