Apocalypse Meow for WordPress

Apocalypse Meow’s main focus is addressing WordPress security issues related to user accounts and logins. This includes things like:

Brute-force login-in protection;

Customizable password strength requirements;

XML-RPC access controls;

Account access alerts;

Searchable access logs (including failed login attempts and temporary bans);

User enumeration prevention;

Registration SPAM protection;

Miscellaneous Core and template options to make targeted hacks more difficult;

Anonymize/scrub leaky remote request headers;

Security is an admittedly technical subject, but Apocalypse Meow strives to help educate “normal” users about the nature of common web attacks, mitigation techniques, etc. Every option contains detailed explanations and links to external resources with additional information.

Knowledge is power!

Requirements Due to the advanced nature of some of the plugin features, there are a few additional server requirements beyond what WordPress itself requires:

WordPress 4.4+.

PHP 7.4 or later.

PHP extensions: (bcmath or gmp), date, filter, json, pcre.

CREATE and DROP MySQL grants.
