<p>Foresight is designed to make it easier for administrators to<br />
keep track of security vulnerabilities which exist within WordPress and<br />
Wordpress plugins. It does this by loading a tabbed display of known<br />
exploits into the WordPress administrative backend. (It’s available under<br />
‘Tools’ -> ‘Foresight’ in the admin side-bar.)</p>
<p>Using the plugin is simple: when you log in to perform your various<br />
administrative tasks, take a moment to browse through the known exploits.<br />
If you see vulnerabilities in that plugins you use, take the appropriate<br />
action. (What’s “appropriate” of course, will vary based off of several<br />
factors, but may range from doing nothing to disabling the vulnerable<br />
plugin.)</p>
<h3>Misc</h3>
<p>Know that the ‘1337Day’ tab behaves slightly differently than the other<br />
tabs. Rather than loading WordPress exploits by automatically, it will<br />
first require you to check a checkbox promising not to use the exploits<br />
catalogued on the site for nefarious purposes. From there, you’ll have<br />
to manually search for WordPress exploits by clicking on the ‘search’<br />
link.</p>

<h3>Donations</h3>
<ul>
<li>I spent most of my free time creating, updating, maintaining and supporting these plugins, if you really love my plugins and could spare me a couple of bucks, I will really appreciate it. If not feel free to use it without any obligations.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Disclaimer</h3>
<ul>
<li>Note that this plugin passes your datababase password via –password in the command line of mysqldump. This is convenient but as a trade off, it is insecure.</li>
<li>On some systems, your password becomes visible to system status programs such as ps that may be invoked by other users to display command lines. MySQL clients typically overwrite the command-line password argument with zeros during their initialization sequence. However, there is still a brief interval during which the value is visible. Also, on some systems this overwriting strategy is ineffective and the password remains visible to ps.

<li>If this is a concern to you, I recommend another database backup plugin called <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-db-backup/" rel="ugc">WP-DB-Backup</a></li>
