BotBlocker Security – Complete security platform vs CloudSecure WP Security

BotBlocker Security is a complete security platform that blocks 99% of attacks before WordPress loads. Firewall, bot detection, rate limiting, CAPTCHA, 2FA, analytics, notifications, tools – one plugin replaces your entire security stack: no need for separate firewall, CAPTCHA, 2FA, and anti-spam plugins. No bloat, no monthly fees for core protection. If your site is hit by login brute force, spam comments, fake Googlebots, content scrapers, or XML-RPC floods, you are not alone: bots generate over 47% of all web traffic. Most security plugins react after WordPress boots, wasting CPU and memory on every bad request. BotBlocker stops them at the door – then gives you the analytics, alerts, and tools to understand exactly what it blocked and why. Because BotBlocker intercepts traffic before themes and plugins run, it also shields vulnerabilities in your entire plugin and theme stack. Zero-days in contact form plugins, unpatched slider code, outdated e-commerce extensions – attackers never reach the vulnerable code. BotBlocker is your first and last line of defense, every day. Why site owners switch to BotBlocker Faster than the competition. Runs on early init through three interception layers, before themes and plugins load. Server load drops during attacks instead of spiking. Zero database queries for returning visitors – 11 pre-generated PHP files with SHA-256 integrity, loaded via native include. One plugin, full security stack. Firewall, CAPTCHA, 2FA, anti-spam, rate limiting, bot detection – BotBlocker covers virtually every security need a WordPress site has. Most users uninstall 2-3 separate plugins after switching. PRO adds malware scanning, security headers, speed optimization, and behavioral analysis – still one plugin. Smarter bot detection. 2,899 User-Agent signatures – largest blacklist among WordPress plugins – plus 2,800+ additional bot signatures. 13 header checks including AdBlock detection, incognito mode detection, Canvas/WebGL fingerprinting, and device API verification. Anti-detect scoring with 9 weighted signals catches headless Chrome, Puppeteer, Selenium, and PhantomJS even when they spoof user-agent strings. Smarter CAPTCHA. 9 modes including Silent Auto-Verify – zero clicks for humans, hard wall for bots. Proprietary CAPTCHAs defeat AI-based solvers that crack reCAPTCHA for $2-3 per 1,000. Honest free version. Full firewall, all 9 CAPTCHA modes, full 2FA, full logging, full Multisite, Redis/Memcached, shortcodes, command palette, Telegram alerts, visual analytics, 15 diagnostic tools. No nag screens, no crippled features. Privacy-first. No visitor data leaves your server. GDPR and CCPA compliant out of the box. Works with everything. Cloudflare, WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, WooCommerce, Elementor, multisite, IPv6, PHP 7.4 to 8.5. 🛡️ Core Firewall (Free) Three-Layer Architecture – intercepts traffic at wp-config.php (before WordPress), MU-plugin phase, and main shield. The first layer blocks known threats before WordPress, plugins, or themes even load – saving 30-100ms and 5-20MB RAM per blocked request. This also means BotBlocker shields you from vulnerabilities in other plugins and themes: attackers exploiting a zero-day in a contact form or slider plugin never reach the vulnerable code. Web Application Firewall (WAF) with real-time rule updates via the BotBlocker Threat Defense Feed 2,899 User-Agent signatures – largest blacklist among WordPress plugins – covering Scrapy, Selenium, Puppeteer, PhantomJS, curl, wget, Python, Java, Perl, and SQL injection tools. Plus 2,800+ additional bot signatures. Brute force protection with progressive lockouts – 5 attempts per 15 minutes, escalating bans for repeat offenders Rate Limiting – sliding window velocity tracking per IP. 30 requests/minute triggers CAPTCHA challenge; 50 requests/minute blocks IP for 10 minutes. Subnet-level aggregation catches distributed attacks across /24 IPv4 or /64 IPv6 ranges. Floor protection prevents false positives at low thresholds. Anti-spam for comments, registration, contact forms – spammers blocked before they connect XML-RPC and REST API locked down by default with allowlist for trusted services HTTP method-level hardening – CONNECT and TRACE blocked (XST attack prevention). OPTIONS handled for CORS preflight. Explicit method allowlist. Fake crawler detection via FCrDNS (dual-direction DNS verification), ASN tokens, and published IP ranges – 95% effective, impossible to spoof without controlling the provider’s DNS zone. Multi-resolver DNS fallback. LLM / AI crawler management – allow or block GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Bytespider via CIDR-verified IP ranges. 1,435 LLM source ranges synced from cloud. Trusted crawlers verified, impersonators blocked. Country, ASN, IP range, User-Agent, Referer blocking rules with instant enforcement. ASN database: 3.6M verified source records.

CloudSecure WP Securityは、管理画面とログインURLをサイバー攻撃から守る、国産・日本語対応のセキュリティ対策プラグインです。 簡単な設定だけで、不正アクセスや不正ログインからWordPressを保護し、サイトのセキュリティを高めます。 各機能は有効／無効を切り替えるだけで設定でき、必要な対策をわかりやすく管理できます。シンプルで扱いやすい設計のため、日々のサイト運用にも取り入れやすいプラグインです。 ※ 本プラグインは日本国内の利用者向けに提供しているものであり、EU居住者を対象とした提供は意図していません。 ドキュメントやFAQなど、より詳細な情報は こちら でご覧いただけます。 WordPressのマルチサイト機能には対応していません。 WebサーバーはApache2.xでの動作を確認済みです。 画像認証追加機能を利用するためには、PHPに拡張ライブラリ「gd」をインストールする必要があります。 管理画面アクセス制限機能、ログインURL変更機能を利用するためには、Apacheに「mod_rewrite」を読み込む必要があります。 本プラグインの機能は以下のとおりです。 ログイン無効化 指定した期間内に指定した回数ログインに失敗した場合、指定した時間ログインを無効化（ブロック）します。 ブルートフォースアタックやパスワードリスト攻撃など、不正なログインを試みる攻撃を防ぐための機能です。 とくに、自動化された攻撃に有効です。 ログインURL変更 ログインURL（wp-login.php）を変更します。 半角英小文字、半角数字、ハイフン、アンダースコアのいずれかを使用し、4文字以上12文字以下でお好みの名前（文字列）に設定できます。 ブルートフォースアタックやパスワードリスト攻撃など、不正なログインを試みる攻撃を受けにくくするための機能です。 ログインエラーメッセージ統一 ログイン時、ユーザー名、パスワード、画像認証のどれを間違えても同一のメッセージを表示します。 ユーザー名の存在を調査する攻撃を受けにくくするための機能です。 2段階認証 ログイン時、ユーザー名とパスワードの入力に加え、別のコードで追加認証を行います。 認証方法はGoogle Authenticator またはメール認証のいずれかを選択できます。 各認証方法で生成された6桁の認証コードをログイン画面で入力し、すべての情報が一致すればログインできます。 ユーザー名やパスワードを不正入手した第三者によるログインやなりすましを防止し、セキュリティを強化します。 画像認証追加 画像データ上にランダムに表示される文字の入力を求め、一致しなければ次の画面に進めないようにする機能です。 ログインフォーム、コメントフォーム、パスワードリセットフォーム、ユーザー登録フォームに設定できます。 ブルートフォースアタックやパスワードリスト攻撃などの不正なログインを試みる攻撃や、悪意のあるプログラムからの機械的な不正アクセスを防止する機能です。 ユーザー名漏えい防止 「?author=数字」アクセスによるユーザー名の漏えいを防止します。 XML-RPC無効化 XML-RPC機能、またはピンバック機能を無効化し、その乱用から管理画面を保護します。 REST API無効化 REST APIを無効化し、その悪用から管理画面を守ります。 管理画面アクセス制限 管理画面にログインしていない接続元IPアドレスから管理ページ（/wp-admin/以降）にアクセスすると、404エラー（Not Found）を返します。 24時間以上管理画面にログインしていない接続元IPアドレスが対象です。 ログインすると接続元IPアドレスが記録され、管理画面にアクセスできるようになります。 この機能を除外するページ（wp-admin以下）を指定できます。 設定ファイルアクセス防止 WordPressのシステムに関するファイルへの不正アクセスを遮断する機能です。 シンプルWAF WordPressへの攻撃に対して、基本的な防御機能を備えたシンプルなWAF（Web Application Firewall）機能です。 SQLインジェクションやクロスサイトスクリプティングなどの一般的な攻撃を遮断します。 ログイン通知 ログインがあったとき、ユーザーにメールで通知します。 心当たりのないメールを受信した場合、不正なログインを疑ってください。 アップデート通知 WordPress、プラグイン、テーマの更新が必要になったとき、WordPressの管理者ユーザーにメールで通知します。 更新の確認は24時間ごとに行われます。 常に最新版を使用することが、セキュリティの基本です。 サーバーエラー通知 サーバーエラー「HTTPステータスコード500（Internal Server Error）」が発生したとき、エラーの履歴を記録し、WordPressの管理者ユーザーにメールで通知します。 1時間以内に同じタイプのエラーが発生した場合、エラーの履歴は記録しますが、メールでの通知は行いません。 ログイン履歴 管理画面にログインした履歴を表示します。 それぞれの項目で絞り込んでの検索も可能です。 ログイン通知と同様、不正なログインの気づきを促す機能です。
