As a basic security tool Audit_FS is designed to perform audits of only your Joomla!^® files, as well as, checking your file and directory permissions. It does not check for any changes or hacking in your database records nor does it check any files from extensions that you may have installed. The audit report will also ignore .htaccess, robots.xt, configuration.php, configuration.php-dist and copyright.php.
