Exploit Scanner vs WP-Sentinel

This plugin searches the files on your website, and the posts and comments tables of your database for anything suspicious. It also examines your list of active plugins for unusual filenames. It does not remove anything. That is left to the user to do.

Interpreting the Results It is likely that this scanner will find false positives (i.e. files which do not contain malicious code). However, it is best to err on the side of caution; if you are unsure then ask in the Support Forums, download a fresh copy of a plugin, search the Internet for similar situations, et cetera. You should be most concerned if the scanner is: making matches around unknown external links; finding base64 encoded text in modified core files or the wp-config.php file; listing extra admin accounts; or finding content in posts which you did not put there. Understanding the three different result levels: Severe: results that are often strong indicators of a hack (though they are not definitive proof) Warning: these results are more commonly found in innocent circumstances than Severe matches, but they should still be treated with caution Note: lowest priority, showing results that are very commonly used in legitimate code or notifications about events such as skipped files Help! I think I have been hacked! Follow the guides from the Codex: Codex: FAQ – My site was hacked Codex: Hardening WordPress Ensure that you change all of your WordPress related passwords (site, FTP, MySQL, etc.). A regular backup routine (either manual or plugin powered) is extremely useful; if you ever find that your site has been hacked you can easily restore your site from a clean backup and fresh set of files and, of course, use a new set of passwords. Updates Updates to the plugin will be posted here, to Holy Shmoly! and the WordPress Exploit Scanner page will always link to the newest version. Other Languages Unfortunately for people using WordPress versions for other locales some of the file hashes may be incorrect as some strings have to be hardcoded in their translated form. Here are some file hashes for WordPress in other languagues provided separately by other members of the community: Japanese – thanks to Naoko German – thanks to Robert Wetzlmayr The hash files should only be declaring an array called $filehashes and the majority of the hashes should still be the same.

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.
