Time and again, retailers are overwhelmed by the “Who is online” function and whether or not entries should be blocked here (and for how long).
This is where automation comes in - this is installed once and from then on your store defends itself.
Frequent attacks take place on various possible Wordpress files. To do this, the attacking bot searches your server for the wp-config file or the wp-content folder, for example. Such calls are now blocked and the attacker is banned.
Configuration:
You can add further paths at any time. For example, someone is constantly searching for “hack.php”? Then simply add it.
Now our module searches your store for hack.php and warns you if it really exists (it could be that you built such a file yourself years ago and just forgot about it). This way it can't happen that you lock yourself out :-)
Now everyone who searches for “hack.php” will be automatically blocked in future.
In the configuration, you can specify how long the person should be blocked. The default setting is four and a half days.
Why?
A bot that searches your store for WordPress vulnerabilities may next come up with the idea of searching for Modified vulnerabilities. You should therefore block such IP addresses in advance. In addition, the store is relieved when such superfluous accesses are eliminated.
