Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall

Features: Download Definition Updates to protect against new threats. Run a Complete Scan to automatically remove known security threats, backdoor scripts, and database injections. Firewall block SoakSoak and other malware from exploiting Revolution Slider and other plugins with known vulnerabilites. Upgrade vulnerable versions of timthumb scripts. Premium Features: Patch your wp-login and XMLRPC to block Brute-Force and DDoS attacks. Check the integrity of your WordPress Core files. Automatically download new Definition Updates when running a Complete Scan. Register this plugin at GOTMLS.NET and get access to new definitions of “Known Threats” and added features like Automatic Removal, plus patches for specific security vulnerabilities like old versions of timthumb. Updated definition files can be downloaded automatically within the admin once your Key is registered. Otherwise, this plugin just scans for “Potential Threats” and leaves it up to you to identify and remove the malicious ones. NOTICE: This plugin makes calls to GOTMLS.NET to check for updates not unlike what WordPress does when checking your plugins and themes for new versions. Staying up-to-date is an essential part of any security plugin and this plugin can let you know when there are new plugin and definition update available. If you’re allergic to “phone home” scripts then don’t use this plugin (or WordPress at all for that matter).

NinjaScanner – Virus & Malware scan

A lightweight, fast and powerful virus scanner for WordPress. NinjaScanner is a lightweight, fast and powerful virus scanner for WordPress which includes many features to help you scan your blog for malware and virus. Features File integrity checker. File comparison viewer. Exclusion filters. File snapshot. Database snapshot. Anti-malware/Antivirus. Sandbox for quarantined files. Ignored files list. Google’s Safe Browsing Lookup API. Background scans. Scheduled scans (Premium). WP-CLI integration (Premium). Debugging log. Email report. Integration with NinjaFirewall (WP and WP+ Edition). Multi-site support. Contextual help. And many more… File Integrity Checker The File Integrity Checker will compare your WordPress core files as well as your plugin and theme files to their original package. Its File Comparison Viewer will show you the differences between any modified file and the original. You can also add your Premium themes and plugins to the File Integrity Checker. Infected or corrupted files can be easily restored with one click. File Snapshot The File Snapshot will show you which files were changed, added or deleted since the previous scan. Database Snapshot NinjaScanner will compare all published posts and pages in the database with the previous scan and will report if any of them were changed, added or deleted. Anti-Malware Signatures You can scan your blog for potential malware and virus using the built-in signatures. The scanning engine is compatible with Linux Malware Detect LMD (whose anti-malware signatures are included) and with some ClamAV signatures as well. You can even write your own anti-malware signatures. NinjaFirewall Integration If you are running our NinjaFirewall (WP or WP+ Edition) web application firewall plugin, you can use this option to integrate NinjaScanner into its menu. Fast and Lightweight Scanner NinjaScanner has strictly no impact on your database. It only uses it to store its configuration (less than 1Kb). It saves the scan data, report, logs etc on disk only, makes use of caching to save bandwidth and server resources. It also includes a Garbage Collector that will clean up its cache on a regular basis. Background Scans Another great NinjaScanner feature is that it runs in the background: start a scan, let it run and keep working on your blog as usual. You can even log out of the WordPress dashboard while a scanning process is running! You don’t have to wait patiently until the scan has finished. Additionally, a scan report can be sent to one or more email addresses. Sandbox for quarantined files When moving a file to the quarantine folder, NinjaScanner can use a testing environment (a.k.a. sandbox) to make sure that this action does not crash your blog with a fatal error. If it does, it will warn you and will not quarantine the file. It is possible (but not recommended) to disable the sandbox. Advanced Settings NinjaScanner offers many advanced settings to finely tune it, such as exclusion filters, selection of the algorithm to use, a debugging log etc. Privacy Policy Your website can run NinjaScanner and be 100% compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): We, the authors, do not collect, share or sell personal information. We don’t track or profile you. Our software does not collect any private data from you or your visitors. Premium Features Check out our NinjaScanner Premium Edition Scheduled Scans: Don’t leave your blog at risk. With the scheduled scan option, NinjaScanner will run automatically hourly, twice daily or daily. WP-CLI Integration: Do you own several blogs and prefer to manage them from the command line? NinjaScanner can nicely integrate with WP-CLI, using the ninjascanner command. You can use it to start or stop a scanning process, view its status, its report or log from your favourite terminal, without having to log in to the WordPress Admin Dashboard.
