WordPress is favoured because of its use of plugins. Initially we have covered to articles that would guide in manually hardening wordpress through htaccess and patching the theme but it doesn’t always have to be the case, non tech users would prefer doing the hardening via plugins. Some very nice plugins to do hardening include:
- Wordfence
- WordPress Bulletproof security
- Acunetix WP Security
- Lockdown wp-admin
- WP Hide & Security Enhancer
-
Default wordpress install fingerprint after installing wordpress fingerprint nuke and using htaccess
