Ready Reference Offline Guide To Best WordPress Security Plugins

Contenuto dell'eBook:

WordPress is a free and open source Content Management System (CMS), which is widely used to build a weblog or an e-commerce store. The functionality of the whole CMS is fully dependent on PHP, a server side scripting language, and MySQL database.

Being a very popular CMS, hackers and attackers frequently target websites which are built on WordPress. These type of people try very hard to get into the back-end of a website by exploiting the vulnerabilities present in it, and after that they will start using the website for distributing malware, phishing, spamming etc. They may also try to bring down an entire site/server using Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack.

If you have built your site using WordPress or you are going to build one using it, then it is highly suggested that you should enhance your installation’s security by using certain third-party security plugins. In this book we will see some great WordPress plugins which will:

• Protect your installation from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and password cracking techniques like Brute Force and dictionary attacks.
• Automatically block malicious IP addresses, user agents, referrers, bad HTTP headers and query strings.
• Scan your installation as well as database for malicious code and malware (viruses, Trojan horses, rootkit, spyware etc.)
• Filter comments which are spam or contain bad external links.
• Compares core files of your installation either with the last check or with the files hosted on a remote server.
• Monitor various blacklists and spam databases, and instantly alerts you if your site has been blacklisted by any one of them.
• Automatically backup your blog’s database and accelerate your site’s overall speed by acting as a FREE Content Delivery Network (CDN) for all your hosted content.
