Atlant

Atlant Security is a comprehensive WordPress security plugin that provides enterprise-grade protection through 17 integrated security modules organized in a 5-layer defense architecture.
<h4>5-Layer Defense Architecture</h4>
<ol>
<li>Pre-WordPress WAF — Firewall, rate limiter, and IP blocking run before WordPress processes the request.</li>
<li>Application-Aware — Login security, custom login URL, two-factor authentication, session hardening, cron monitoring, and REST API policies.</li>
<li>Content & Config — WordPress hardening, security headers, AI crawler management, and honeypot traps.</li>
<li>Outbound & Data — SSRF prevention, malware scanning (files and database).</li>
<li>Response & Recovery — Post-breach recovery, notifications, visitor log, and audit log.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
Web Application Firewall (WAF) 
Inspects every request against 28+ attack pattern families including SQL injection, XSS, remote code execution, path traversal, PHP object injection, and WordPress-specific attacks. Block or log-only mode. Triple URL decoding prevents evasion.
Brute Force Protection 
Progressive lockout system (5 min > 30 min > 24 hours) with configurable thresholds. Generic login error messages prevent username enumeration. Author enumeration blocking.
Malware Scanner 
Local file and database scanner with 38 malware signatures. Detects backdoors, webshells (WSO, c99, r57), crypto miners, credit card skimmers, and obfuscated code. Quarantine system with web access blocking.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) 
TOTP (Google Authenticator, Authy) and email OTP. Per-role enforcement, 10 recovery codes, 5-minute challenge timeout, replay attack prevention.
Honeypot Traps 
Zero-false-positive bot detection: hidden link traps, fake login pages, comment honeypots, and Contact Form 7 integration. 3-layer safe bot protection ensures Googlebot, Bingbot, and allowed AI crawlers are never blocked.
AI Crawler Management 
Control 20+ known AI/LLM training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Bytespider, and more). Per-crawler toggles, robots.txt integration, and 403 enforcement. Block training crawlers while allowing browsing bots.
Security Headers 
Manage HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, CSP, CORP, and COOP. Letter-grade scoring system. Remove X-Powered-By and Server headers.
Session Security 
Cookie hardening (HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite). Session binding via IP + User-Agent fingerprint detects hijacking. Concurrent session limits. Idle timeout. Optional admin bypass for all session restrictions.
Rate Limiter 
Sliding-window rate limiting across 11 endpoint categories: frontend, login, search, feed, REST API, WooCommerce checkout, XML-RPC, and cron.
REST API Policies 
Per-route access control with authentication requirements, HTTP method restrictions, rate limits, and IP whitelists. 5 built-in policies protect user enumeration, search, and write endpoints.
Cron Guard 
Monitors wp-cron.php for flood attacks. Detects suspicious scheduled tasks via baseline comparison. System cron migration helper.
Outbound Monitor (SSRF Prevention) 
Monitors all outgoing HTTP requests. Blocks requests to private/internal IP ranges including cloud metadata endpoints. Domain allowlist with wildcard support. Caller detection traces requests to specific plugins.
Post-Breach Recovery 
12 emergency actions: terminate sessions, force password reset, rotate secret keys, emergency lockdown, reinstall core, reinstall plugins, audit admin accounts, clear caches, malware scan, disable plugins, and downloadable incident report.
Real-Time Dashboard 
Live visitor monitoring with 15-second auto-refresh. Stat cards, traffic charts, top IPs with VirusTotal integration, browser distribution, and IP detail modals.
Visitor Log & Audit Log 
Complete request history with filters (IP, URL, bots, blocked, time range). Tamper-resistant admin action audit trail.
Notifications 
Email alerts (HTML formatted, color-coded severity), Slack webhooks, custom JSON webhooks, and daily digest. Configurable severity threshold with 5-minute deduplication.
WordPress Hardening 
One-click toggles: disable XML-RPC, hide WordPress version, block REST API user enumeration, block author enumeration, disable file editor, block PHP execution in uploads.

<h3>Anti Spam Protection</h3>
Spam comments can damage your SEO, clutter your database, and waste moderation time. Titan provides automated spam protection that works in the background without interrupting real users.
Every comment is checked against a global spam database and evaluated using intelligent filtering rules. Suspicious comments are automatically marked as spam and hidden from public view.
Automatic spam comment blocking: Blocks spam comments in real time using a global spam database and intelligent filtering rules. Suspicious submissions are automatically marked as spam before they appear publicly.
Block spam comments without captcha: Protect your site from comment spam without forcing visitors to solve captcha challenges. Real users experience a smooth commenting process.
Save spam comments for review: Optionally store filtered spam comments in the moderation area so you can verify filtering accuracy and review blocked content.
Detailed spam processing logs: View logs of processed comments to understand how spam filtering works and monitor spam activity trends.
Privacy policy link integration: Display a privacy policy notice under comment forms to help with transparency and compliance requirements.
This ensures real visitors can interact freely while bots are filtered automatically.
<h3>Security Hardening Tools</h3>
Titan includes built-in security hardening options that reduce publicly exposed information and protect your website from common automated attacks.
Many bots scan websites looking for version numbers, exposed login patterns, weak passwords, or XML-RPC endpoints. Titan helps minimize those risks with configurable hardening controls that strengthen overall site security.
Strong Password Enforcement: Force users to create strong passwords based on the WordPress password strength meter. Weak passwords are a leading cause of account compromise. Enforcing strong credentials significantly improves login security and reduces unauthorized** access risks.
Hide Author Login: Attackers can attempt to discover usernames using author archive URLs. Titan prevents user enumeration by restricting access patterns that reveal valid login names. This reduces the effectiveness of targeted brute force login attacks.
Disable XML-RPC: XML-RPC can be abused for automated login attacks and pingback spam. Disabling XML-RPC reduces exposure to remote brute force attempts and limits unnecessary resource usage.
Hide Version Information: WordPress core and plugins sometimes expose version numbers in the source code. Attackers use this information to target known vulnerabilities. Titan removes version references to reduce fingerprinting risks.
Remove Version Query Strings: JavaScript and CSS files often include version query parameters. Removing these prevents attackers from identifying the exact WordPress or plugin version running on your site.
Remove Meta Generator Tag: The generator meta tag can reveal your CMS version. Titan removes it to reduce publicly visible system information and lower exposure.
Remove HTML Comments: Some themes and plugins output HTML comments that may expose structural details. Titan can remove these comments to limit unnecessary information disclosure.
Together, these security hardening options reduce your attack surface and strengthen your website without affecting normal functionality.
<h3>Activity Monitoring and Logs</h3>
Security is not only about blocking attacks. It is also about visibility and awareness.
Titan includes built-in monitoring tools that help you understand login behavior and security activity on your website.
Login Attempts Log: Track failed login attempts in real time. See which IP addresses are attempting access, how many retries were made, and when lockouts were triggered. This helps you evaluate brute force protection effectiveness.
Activity Logger: Monitor security-related events across your site, including login activity and system actions. Identify suspicious patterns before they escalate.
Error Log Viewer: View plugin-related errors directly from the dashboard. Diagnose configuration issues quickly without accessing server files.
Debug Information Export: Export diagnostic information when contacting support. This reduces troubleshooting time and speeds up issue resolution.
With proper monitoring and logging, you are not only blocking attacks but also gaining insight into how your website is being targeted.
<h3>PRO Anti Spam Features</h3>
Machine Learning spam detection: Advanced spam filtering powered by Machine Learning improves detection accuracy by analyzing behavioral patterns across large datasets.
Scan existing comments for spam: Identify previously approved spam comments and clean up your database.
Scan registered users for spam accounts: Detect and flag suspicious user accounts that may have been created by spam bots.

Titan Anti-spam & Security

Can't uninstall from the dashboard, requires sending data to 3rd party for the survey. Good that I have wp-cli or You can use FTP to uninstall.
NOT WORTH anymore.

Can't uninstall from dashboard, require send data to 3rd party

I liked anti-spam a lot as an anti-spam plugin... But sadly now it has too many things, and I don't like it. With the free option it doesn't offer a complete security system, there are a lot of firewall options that can't be used, so it is too much for only an anti-spam plugin and quite complicated. So I changed to another one, because I also don't want it to collide with the other security plugin I use.

Too much things for an anti-spam plugin too few (on free) for a security one

Block spam comments, defend against login attempts, and strengthen site security with anti-spam, brute-force protection, and two-factor authentication …
