This plugin is designed for administrators who need to protect their content management system from common threats. It provides a suite of automated monitoring and defensive features without requiring constant manual oversight.
Checklist: Runs automated daily scans to detect security misconfigurations, such as exposed debug files or outdated software versions.
Integrity Monitoring: Compares core and plugin files against official checksums to identify unauthorized modifications or unknown files.
Login Security: Limits failed login attempts from a single IP address and can display generic error messages to thwart username discovery.
IP Blocking: Automatically bans IP addresses based on suspicious request patterns, such as scanning for non-existent .php or backup files. This list can be synchronized with a server's .htaccess file for broader protection.
Notifications: Sends email alerts for critical events like available updates, administrator logins, or failed security checks.
