WordPress Firewall Plugin

WordPress Firewall Plugin is for real!

Thanks to SEOEGGHEAD.com this firewall plugin is a reality. It is free and does a neat job of protecting your WordPress blog.

These are the standard features of the WordPress Firewall Plugin:

• Detect, intecept, and log suspicious-looking parameters — and prevent them compromising WordPress.
• Also protect most WordPress plugins from the same attacks.
• Optionally configure as the first plugin to load for maximum security.
• Respond with an innocuous-looking 404, or a home page redirect.
• Optionally send an email to you with a useful dump of information upon blocking a potential attack.
• Turn on or off directory traversal attack detection.
• Turn on or off SQL injection attack detection.
• Turn on or off WordPress-specific SQL injection attack detection.
• Turn on or off blocking executable file uploads.
• Turn on or off remote arbitrary code injection detection.
• Add whitelisted IPs.
• Add additional whitelisted pages and/or fields within such pages to allow above to get through when desirable.

I just installed it on NPXP and it got activated without any error messages. So it is quite compatible with WordPress 3.01.

So go ahead and protect your blog as well!
