Description

WebDmitriev Protection is a compact and efficient security solution for WordPress sites:

  • Brute-Force Protection: Limits failed login attempts on wp-login.php.
  • Entry Point Security: Disables XML-RPC and prevents user enumeration via REST API and author query parameters.
  • File Integrity Guard: Monitors critical files (.htaccess and wp-config.php) for unauthorized changes.
  • Uploads Directory Guard: Automatically blocks PHP execution inside /wp-content/uploads/.
  • Lightweight WAF: Filters dangerous URL parameters (SQLi/XSS), blocks malicious User-Agent signatures, and manages IP blacklists.
  1. Upload the webdmitriev-protection folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. Go to ‘WD Protection’ in the admin dashboard to configure settings and view threat logs.
How does the plugin block brute-force attacks?

It tracks failed login attempts by IP address. If an IP exceeds 5 failed attempts within 15 minutes, access to the login form is temporarily blocked.

What happens if wp-config.php or .htaccess is edited?

The plugin calculates MD5 hashes of critical files. If a modification is detected, a notice appears in the admin panel allowing you to inspect and approve the new file state.
