Some Excellent Wordpress Security Plugins To Secure Your BlogLots
of bloggers and website administrators fail to recognize the importance
of securing their site. Some Gurus couldn’t imagine running a site that brought
in some decent money a month and not taking a few minutes to secure it.
From attacks like the hidden iFrame injection (Trojan virus) or even
someone hacking the password and attempting to blackmail you, the work
needed to fix these problems is much greater than the effort it takes
to make sure it doesn’t happen to you. http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://allgurus.ucoz.com TAC (Theme Authenticity Checker)DownloadHomePage TAC stands for Theme Authenticity Checker. Currently, TAC searches the source files of every installed theme for signs of malicious code. If such code is found, TAC displays the path to the theme file, the line number, and a small snippet of the suspect code. As of v1.3 TAC also searches for and displays static links. AkismetDownloadHomePage Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not and lets you review the spam it catches under your blog's "Comments" admin screen. Chap Secure LoginDownloadHomePage Whenever you try to login into your website, you can use this plugin to trasmit your password encrypted. The encryption process is done by the Chap protocol; this is particularly useful when you can't use ssl or other kinds of secure protocols. By activating the ChapSecureLogin plugin, the only information transmitted unencrypted is the username; password is hided with a random number (nonce) generated by the session - and opportunely transformed by the md5 algorithm. Invisible DefenderDownloadHomePage This plugin protects registration, login and comment forms from spambots by adding two extra fields hidden by CSS. This approach gave me 100% anti-spam protection on one of my sites. NoSpamNXDownloadHomePage NoSpamNX automaticly adds additional formfields to your comment form, invisible to the users. If a spambot fills these fields blindly (which 99.9% of all spambots do), the comment will not be saved. You can decide if you want to block these spambots, mark them as spam or put them in moderation queue. Furthermore, you can put common spam-phrases on a blacklist. Secure WordPressDownloadHomePage Little help to secure your WordPress installation: Remove Error information on login page; adds index.html to plugin directory; removes the wp-version, except in admin area. Semisecure Login ReimaginedDownloadHomePage Semisecure Login Reimagined increases the security of the login process using an RSA public-key to encrypt the password on the client-side when a user logs in. The server side then decrypts the encrypted password with the private key. JavaScript is required to enable encryption. It is most useful for situations where SSL is not available, but the administrator wishes to have some additional security measures in place without sacrificing convenience. Stealth LoginDownloadHomePage This plugin allows you to create custom URLs for logging in, logging out, administration and registering for your WordPress blog. Instead of advertising your login url on your homepage, you can create a url of your choice that can be easier to remember than wp-login.php, for example you could set your login url to http://www.myblog.com/login for an easy way to login to your website. WordPress Database BackupDownloadHomePage WordPress database backup creates backups of your core WordPress tables as well as other tables of your choice in the same database. WordPress File MonitorDownloadHomePage Monitors your WordPress installation for added/deleted/changed files. When a change is detected an email alert can be sent to a specified address. WordPress Firewall PluginDownloadHomePage This WordPress plugin investigates web requests with simple WordPress-specific heuristics to identify and stop most obvious attacks. There exist a few powerful generic modules that do this; but they're not always installed on web servers, and difficult to configure. It intelligently whitelists and blacklists pathological-looking phrases based on which field they appear within in a page request (unknown/numeric parameters vs. known post bodies, comment bodies, etc.) WordPress Guard PluginDownloadHomePage Angsuman's Wordpress Guard Plugin is a must-have Wordpress security plugin that protects the vulnerable areas of your blog from outside access with an additional layer of security. WP-DBManagerDownloadHomePage Allows you to optimize database, repair database, backup database, restore database, delete backup database , drop/empty tables and run selected queries. Supports automatic scheduling of backing up and optimizing of database. wp-dephormDownloadHomePage wp-dephorm protects your users from the prying eyes of phorm. This is achieved by setting a cookie to opt out of the phorm information mining. Your blog viewers will not have their information stored and used in marketing campaigns whilst viewing your site. WP Security ScanDownloadHomePage Scans your WordPress installation for security vulnerabilities and suggests corrective actions. -passwords -file permissions -database security -version hiding -WordPress admin protection/security -removes WP Generator META tag from core code WP-SpamFree WordPress Spam Plugin – Powerful Anti-Spam Protection!DownloadHomePage An extremely powerful anti-spam plugin for WordPress that eliminates comment spam, including trackback and pingback spam.
