Best WP Security Plugins 1: WP fail2ban

Our Best WordPress Security Plugin (WSP) for Thursday was WP fail2ban

WP fail2ban delivers one feature, but it’s a rather important one: protection from brute force attacks.

The plugin is one of the simplest and most effective security measures you can implement to prevent brute-force attacks.,

WP fail2ban documents all login attempts, regardless of their nature or successfulness, to the syslog using LOG_AUTH. You have the option to implement a soft or hard ban, which is different from the more traditional approach of only choosing one.

This brute force security plugin is completely free so you don’t have to worry about spending any money, and it works flawlessly.

A List of WP fail2ban Features:

The plugin logs information about spam, pingbacks, and user enumeration. It also log comments to prevent spam or malicious comments.
