CIDRAM vs Malcure Security Suite

CIDRAM (Classless Inter-Domain Routing Access Manager) is a PHP script designed to protect websites by blocking requests originating from IP addresses regarded as being sources of undesirable traffic, including (but not limited to) traffic from non-human access endpoints, cloud services, spambots, scrapers, etc. It does this by calculating the possible CIDRs of the IP addresses supplied from inbound requests and then attempting to match these possible CIDRs against its signature files (these signature files contain lists of CIDRs of IP addresses regarded as being sources of undesirable traffic); If matches are found, the requests are blocked. Requirements PHP >= 7.2.0 PCRE Updating Note: CIDRAM does not interact in any way with your database, and stores its own configuration settings, customisations, and related materials as flatfiles within its own directory. If you’ve not changed any of the default configuration settings and if you’re not using any customisations for this plugin, updating normally via the plugins dashboard, without need for any additional steps, should be sufficient and shouldn’t cause any problems. However, if you’ve modified the configuration settings for CIDRAM, or if you’ve made any customisations, I would recommend making backups of all of these prior to updating, due to that updating will overwrite all settings and customisations (after updating, you can then restore your customisations from your backups). Alternatively, if you update via the CIDRAM front-end updates page, all settings and customisations should be preserved.

Malcure Security ★★★★★ Protect your WordPress site from hacks and downtime. Malcure Security Suite is a fast, lightweight, cloud-connected security platform for WordPress. It performs deep server-side scans (files + database) to catch malware and unauthorized changes, allows you to monitor login activity, enables a site-wide forced re-login after incidents, and sends email alerts of incidents upon scan. Built for commercial workloads—WooCommerce stores, memberships, LMS, bookings, directories, and multi-vendor marketplaces—it plays nicely with caching/CDNs and won’t get in the way of checkout, lessons, or bookings. What Malcure Security Suite Focuses On Detect: Deep server-side malware scans (files + database), integrity/diff checks, and vulnerabilities. Control: Session analytics (user/IP/device), Emergency Logout (everyone except you), rotate auth keys & salts to invalidate tokens, and force site-wide re-login post-incident. Compatible with 2FA/SSO. Report: Clear, actionable summaries with exact file paths and reasons, email alerts with next steps, and audit-friendly logs for teams and compliance (coming-soon). Logging: Event logs with identifiable and traceable details. How It Works (SaaS) Secure Handshake: Your site authenticates with Malcure and pulls fresh threat intelligence (signatures, heuristics, rules and analysis). Local-first scanning: Scans your files and database in the background. Severity-ranked results: Findings are grouped by Critical/High/Medium/Low with exact specs, the reason they were flagged, and one-click actions plus email alerts and audit-ready logs. Graceful: If the cloud is temporarily unreachable, Malcure Security Suite continues with last-known rules and logs locally until it reconnects. Features Deep server-side malware scans (files + database) using tuned signatures + heuristics. Background scanning so long runs finish reliably on large sites. Low overhead by design; preserves Core Web Vitals and optimized to minimize impact on site speed Session management: see who’s logged in, from where. Emergency Logout: one-click sign-out (everyone except you); rotate auth keys & salts to invalidate sessions. Robust Event Monitor. Optimal Dark Mode. Highlights Signature + heuristic detection for obfuscated/injected PHP/JS (backdoor/web-shell traits). Database scan of options, postmeta, posts, and comments for malicious payloads. Email notifications for critical events and scan results Security status panel (permissions, environment) Compatible with WooCommerce, LearnDash/TutorLMS, MemberPress/PMP, major booking/event plugins, WPML/Polylang, Elementor/Divi/Block Editor, and caching/CDNs (LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket, NGINX FastCGI, Cloudflare).
