Ralf Naumann

eSherpa Login Guard effectively and intelligently protects your WordPress site from brute-force attacks – Swiss precision, completely without external dependencies.
Key Features:
<ul>
<li>Honeypot-first bot defense: JavaScript Honeypot detects non-browser bots and triggers immediate lockout logic.</li>
<li>Protected username trap: Immediate lockout for defined usernames (e.g., “admin”, “test”), independent of the regular counter.</li>
<li>Proactive User-Agent blocking: Block known bot signatures before login processing (exact match or substring mode).</li>
<li>Blocked User-Agent attempt log: Separate log table for blocked User-Agent requests including matching pattern.</li>
<li>WordPress hardening options: Disable XML-RPC (with fake-user honeypot response), hide REST user endpoint, and block author archive enumeration.</li>
<li>Optional bot password capture: Store attempted passwords from detected JS-honeypot bots for incident analysis.</li>
<li>Neutral login error option: Hide username enumeration by using neutral WordPress login error responses.</li>
<li>Live security visibility: Live alarm in admin, lockout badge in menu, and detailed failed-attempt logs with IP/User-Agent filters.</li>
<li>Progressive lockout durations: Lockout time increases on repeat offenses (e.g., 15 → 30 → 60 → 120 minutes).</li>
<li>Login page guidance: Clear countdown and “X attempts remaining” notice for transparent lock state.</li>
<li>Privacy-compliant: IPs stored only as anonymized hashes.</li>
<li>Automatic cleanup of old failed attempts (configurable).</li>
<li>Mobile-friendly admin tables: Horizontal scrolling for wide security tables on small screens, including swipe hint.</li>
<li>Email notification to admin on attacks against existing users.</li>
</ul>
Developed in Switzerland – fast, clean, performant, and multilingual ready.
Compatible with WordPress 6.9 and tested up to PHP 8.5.3.
