Spam Master is currently compatible with all major form components and scans single or multi-step forms.

Spam Master protects Joomla-based websites from millions of known spam emails, domains, IPs, and words by blocking user registrations, comments, messages, contacts, feedback, or threads.

Spam Master uses RBL technology (real-time online block lists) and is one of the top 5 world-wide, real-time spam & threats databases, providing a service software SaaS.

Fast loading, Spam Master is modular… it only loads what is needed to keep your website secure and clean.

Spam Master provides statistics and logs all activity.

Makes no use of Javascript or Ajax to keep your website fast, conflict-free, and with high SEO and PageSpeed Insights.

Spam Master blocks up to 100% spam bots with less than 0.1% false positives.

Real Time Block Lists

Spam Master scans logins, registrations, comments, and contacts via online real-time block lists with millions of threats already listed and constantly being maintained and updated.

Website Firewall HAF

Spam Master blocks malicious activity before it even reaches your website or admin pages. Spam Master implements a new concept called High Availability Firewall that protects your website against dangerous exploits like HTTP and HTTPS DDoS (denial-of-service), SQL injections, brute force attacks, and many other threats.

Spam Buffer

Buffer technology greatly reduces server resources like CPU, memory, and bandwidth by performing fast local machine checks. It also prevents major attacks like flooding, DoS, etc. via Spam Master Firewall.

Whitelist Exemptions

Spam Buffer Whitelisting excludes spam checks from safe IPs, emails, or form IDs, and also removes these safe IPs and emails from your local Spam Buffer.

Antibot

Spam Master is a powerful anti-bot shield that easily detects and blocks robotic spam form submissions via real-time bot checks. It also detects pesky robots running on browser macros, addons, and extensions, headless browsers, and browsers without JavaScript, sessions, or cookies.

What is Spam Master Learning?

The component comes packed with an automated Spam Learning function that will make your website a fighting spam enforcer by providing registration IPs and emails for analysis and spam list inclusion.

What is Spam Master Alert Level?

It's an easy and interactive way for you to know if your website is being targeted by spammers and the level of intensity or danger of this targeting. The update is done daily and automatically via RBL (real-time blacklist) servers sync. The alert levels range from 0 (low) to 3 (high) intensities.

Spam Probability

Spam Master includes Spam Activity Probability, and in conjunction with Alert Level, Spam Master advanced detection heuristic analytics will provide you with an approximated percentage of all spam activity on your website.

No more Annoying CAPTCHA

Spam Master stops spam bots without user annoying CAPTCHA, reCAPTCHA, counts, puzzles, or any other question-answer system. It improves your visitors’ satisfaction and browsing experience by stopping spam bots at the same time.

Honeypot

Spam Master includes honeypot traps set to detect, deflect, and counteract attempts at unauthorized use of your website. A honeypot consists of data that appears to be a legitimate part of the site but is actually isolated and monitored, and that seems to contain information or a resource of value to attackers, who are then blocked, colloquially known as "baiting" a suspect. Spam Master honeypot traps can be optionally and individually activated on login, registration, comment, and contact pages.

Logging & Clean-Up

As good Linux freaks, we've implemented into Spam Master a healthy "obsessive compulsive" logging. Everything related to security gets logged and is accessible via the component Logs & Statistics page. On the other hand, in the component Protection Tools page, we've also implemented full control over all log retention time to keep your website fast & clean.
