This WordPress plugin provides security functionality and integration with fail2ban.
It does not require fail2ban to function.
Basic security functionality includes:
<ul>
<li>Disabling login with username (require e-mail address)</li>
<li>Allow/Deny login from IP address, hostname (including wildcard support)</li>
<li>Preventing user enumeration (?author=nnn)</li>
<li>Less detailed error messages on login failures</li>
<li>Minimum username length</li>
<li>Blocking specific usernames from being used to register new users</li>
<li>Requiring e-mail address matching for new user registrations</li>
<li>Warning about new user role setting</li>
<li>Blocking of portions or all of WordPress REST API</li>
<li>Disabling of RSS and Atom feeds</li>
<li>Removal of “Generator” information from HTML and feeds</li>
<li>Detection of Cloudflare IP addresses for logging of actual IP addresses</li>
<li>Blocking/Allowing logins from IP addresses, IP ranges, and/or hostnames</li>
<li>Partially or fully disable XMLRPC access</li>
</ul>
The plugin also plays nicely with Fail2ban, which is an advanced way of blocking IP addresses dynamically upon suspicious behavior.
