Simple Login Limit & Protect

Beskriuwing

Simple Login Limit & Protect is a Plugin designed to protect your WordPress site from hackers, crackers and other attackers, with simple configuration and with minimum problems for legitimate users.

Using the same technology used in the most advanced Security Tools, our plugin works as soon as activated, detecting malicious behavior and automatically blocking attackers.

Key Features

• Behavioral Intelligent Learning, detect the behavior of users to distinguish the bad guys from good guys
• Really GDPR Compliant (why some others plugins don’t comply)
• Minimum Configuration, just install and don’t mind looking for the settings, works out of the box

Behavioral Intelligent Learning

We expect legitimate users to behavior in a certain way. In the other side, hackers usually start with simple commoditized scripts, we studied these scripts and implemented detection rules for them.

We studied attackers techniques such as User Enumeration, Brute Force Attack, the Most Common Passwords Used and developed sensors to these behaviours, identifying the remote user as an attacker.

In the other side, legitimate users normally use the same Provider, with a common Internet browser and in an certain way, we also detect this behaviour and identify them as a good user.

Automatically allow legitimate users to try again

If a legitimate user is blocked due to missing his password, the plugin will inform the user how much time he have to wait before he can try again, minimising support.

On the first missed password tries, the plugin will allow the user to try again in a few minutes with a message, this removes work from the Site Administrator.

If necessary, the user can use the WordPress “Lost your password” feature to generate a new one if he forgot to not be blocked again.

But if it’s a hacker that continues to try invalid passwords he will be blocked again for even increased times (limited to 24 hours).
