AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
WP-Sentinel is a mixed-rating WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 5 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How WP-Sentinel works
WP-Sentinel, is a plugin for the WordPress platform which will increase the security of your blog against attacks
from crackers, lamers, black hats, h4x0rs, etc .
The plugin will be loaded by wordpress before every other installed plugin and will execute some security checks upon incoming http requests and, when one of more
requests turn on the system alarm, they will be blocked, the sentinel then will show a warning message to the user and send a notification email to the blog
administrator with the whole attack details.
Furthermore wp-sentinel will communicate with a centralized server to collect attackers data and build a ip address blacklist.
This plugin is able to block those kind of attacks :
Cross Site Scriptings
HTML Injections
Remote File Inclusions
Remote Command Executions
Local File Inclusions
SQL Injections
Integer & string overflows
Cross Site Request Forgery
Login bruteforcing
Flooding
… and so on 🙂
WP-Sentinel will NOT check requests from the user logged in as administrator, so if you want to check the installation you have to log out first.
