<p>Paranoid911 checks your wordpress installation for changes and sends you an<br />
email when changes occur.</p>
<p>I decided to write this plugin when somebody hacked my blog’s ftp and uploaded<br />
a doorway script. I found out about this only after few weeks, with<br />
an accidental google query.</p>
<p>One my friends have had another problem with his wordpress installation –<br />
somebody hacked it and added a hidden iframe tag. He found this few days<br />
later when his readers told him that their anti-virus software did not<br />
let them visit his blog.</p>
<p>This plugin will not save you from hackers. It will, however, notify you of<br />
possible attacks allowing you to fix things before your visitors find hidden<br />
iframes or your blog loses its rank in google.</p>
<p>After activation of this plugin you will receive a few emails with notices.<br />
Don’t worry – this is a result of the first scan of your wordpress installation.</p>
<p>This plugin checks wordpress directory (with all subdirectories) on the server’s<br />
filesystem and a few wordpress database tables (wp_users, wp_usermeta, wp_posts,<br />
wp_links, wp_options).  There are some smart exceptions to what it will check –<br />
to prevent it from sending you too many false warnings.</p>
<p>If you still get too many false messages (for example, you have a plugin<br />
installed or extra-fields in some tables that change often), you can try to<br />
edit scan rules yourself (I will add UI editor in upcoming versions).</p>
<p>Rules are defined in paranoid911.php ($paranoid911_default_stages). You can try<br />
to edit exceptions and excluded fields: exceptions is an array of WHERE clauses<br />
and excluded fields is an array of column names to skip during the scan (e.g.,<br />
    comment_count in the table <code>wp_posts</code>).</p>
<p>If you will recieve false messages generated by some popular plugins – please,<br />
don’t forget to inform me.</p>

WordPress File Monitor

Good plugin

Go and install it right away! You have no idea how much time you'd save by doing it NOW!

Best plugin to log, track, and monitor the file changes.

Background:

Earlier, I was using a plugin that contained file monitoring as one of the features. That plugin was heavily bloated with numerous other features that I wouldn't use. Have been looking for a dedicated plugin for files monitoring. This fits my use case perfectly. What's more the author of this plugin, @nicolly, is responsive on the support forum, even though he's not obliged to do so as this is a free plugin. Even my stupid feature request was accepted and fixed the underlying problem in my own workflow.

This is a gem. Currently, switching it in place of the other plugin on all my clients' sites!

Will save your precious time some day!

Does what it says :)
