I mind BOT ATTACK part in that plugin
"This module determines whether a bot or real visitor is on your site in real time and blocks the activity of bots, while accelerating the loading of pages for real visitors, thereby improving the user experience. This reduces the load on hosting and on the server, saves on traffic and increases page load several times over.
The necessary bots (google, yahoo, Msn, etc) will easily get on your site and index pages, just like real users. The required search bots are determined based on the User-Agent and PTR records. All the rest are checked by the module’s algorithm and only complete browsers that have passed the model’s algorithm check are let through."

I have to admire the person who wrote a whole two paragraphs to say "Yup, our software is a Web Application Firewall alright" :) Seriously, what they described is that their product has a Web Application Firewall, giving no further clue as to what it protects you from. Protection against "bad bots" is about as generic and non-committal as you can get!
In our company we prefer to tell you the exact technical measures we take to protect you against attackers, be it "bad bots" or malicious users or a combination thereof.
Admin Tools automatically blocks an IP address when it detects a repeated attack (that is: a "bad bot"). Therefore, yes, it WILL block a bad bot.
Admin Tools allows you to integrate with the third party service Project HoneyPot which will also immediately block a number of known IP addresses of spammers and hackers.
Admin Tools' .htaccess Maker allows you to block requests to your site based on the User Agent string. This is what most people call a "bad bot filter" so yes, this also exists in Admin Tools. The thing is that a real attacker will spoof the User Agent string in their bot. Of course you'd be surprised at the number of script kiddies stupidly trying to attack a site using a bot with User Agent string that clearly advertises the intent. Hence the existence of this feature.
Admin Tools will allow GoogleBot and Bing Bot by default to access your site without them being blocked.
So all the features one can divine from this piece of marketing speak do exist in Admin Tools along with many, many more.
