Hack-Info

Now, “Hack-Info” – it is a standalone independent complete tool. Previously, it was like Add-On for “iThemes Security”. But time has shown that it is bad to be dependent on others.. Especially when their DB structure changes. “Hack-Info” make improve the perception of information about events, which is important to quickly and in detail see and understand. Without the need for unnecessary clicks and conversions. “Hack-Info” notifies the site administrator by providing a detailed list of IP addresses, requests – attempts to scan resources and search for passwords with names. Features An additional level of security for your site. Simply, Briefly and in Detail. Even without going to the site admin area, you will be informed about the activity of the current day. Any person can be a recipient of notifications. Not necessarily the Administrator. Adjustable interval for the formation of the Digest. The e-mail report received contains full and detailed information about the nature of attempts to hack your site: In cases of Brite Force, user names are displayed. So, one glance is enough for you to understand what you’re dealing with: a routine search or a targeted attack on an already compromised name. In cases of URL scanning, requests are displayed. Timely analysis of such requests allows you to draw conclusions about which Plugins, Themes or Scripts are vulnerable, and in time to abandon their use in their projects. The information digest is compact and minimalistic, but at the same time it easily and visually gives a complete information picture. You do not have to go to your site to get more details. Therefore, even being outside the usual workspace, on a slow Internet, but having the ability to read mail – you will be fully informed, and therefore, if necessary, you can make the necessary and fast decisions. And this approach is many times more effective than messages like: “To see the list of blocked IP addresses and to know the parameters of requests – click on the button …” And then, still it will be necessary to login … In the control panel, the Administrator can view all reports with various data sets: “Scan URLs & Files,” “Scan from IP,” “Brute-Force User Names,” and “Brute-Force from IP.” Color marks allows you to evaluate the activity of grouped data.
