Project Overview
The main challenge was to develop a security plugin for shops with the following functionality:
Viewing attack logs
Sending email alerts
PHPIDS configuration : exceptions, html and json fields
Warning page informing of the attack attempt
Logging users out of WP admin panel
Auto updates of default_filter.xml and Converter.php
Client banning based on attack threshold and repeated attacks
Ban template and message
History of attacks for IP address
Geolocation for IP address
Statistics module: quantity of intrusions, quantity of IP addresses, most active tag for: today, 1 week, 1 month new
Ban list history up to 1k (1000) rows
What Was Done
Additionally different levels of attacks should be separated, and there should be the possibility to set specific further actions (behavior) for each level.
In the process of development the existing plugin was considerably improved and supplemented in accordance with the functional requirements.
The menu of the admin panel is arranged conveniently ensuring easy usage.
As a result of the cooperation the customer received a security system which works smoothly and reliably. Each attack is logged, and depending on the attack level it is either blocked or a warning message is sent to the user.
A demo site was created in which the plugin was implemented, in order to demonstrate that the plugin fulfills all the declared requirements properly.
