User Security Tools provides some improvements to security in wordpress.
<ul>
<li>Control for Brute Force: Adds a maximum of failed login attempts within a certain period of 
time. If this maximum is achieved, the user is locked.</li>
<li>Password Policy: Enforces the minimun and maximum length of the password, and the level of 
password that can be: low, medium and high.</li>
<li>Password History: Don’t allow user to set password equals last 5 (in the next version this number 
will be configurable).</li>
<li>User Management: the network admin also can lock, unlock and reset user’s password manually 
(in case of password reset, the user receives a new activation key and no data is lost).</li>
</ul>

<li>Download Definition Updates to protect against new threats.</li>
<li>Run a Complete Scan to automatically remove known security threats, backdoor scripts, and database injections.</li>

</ul>

<li>Patch your wp-login and XMLRPC to block Brute-Force and DDoS attacks.</li>
<li>Check the integrity of your WordPress Core files.</li>
<li>Automatically download new Definition Updates when running a Complete Scan.</li>
</ul>
Register this plugin at <a href="http://gotmls.net/" rel="nofollow ugc">GOTMLS.NET</a> and get access to new definitions of “Known Threats” and added features like Automatic Removal, plus patches for specific security vulnerabilities like old versions of timthumb. Updated definition files can be downloaded automatically within the admin once your Key is registered. Otherwise, this plugin just scans for “Potential Threats” and leaves it up to you to identify and remove the malicious ones.
NOTICE: This plugin make call to GOTMLS.NET to check for updates not unlike what WordPress does when checking your plugins and themes for new versions. Staying up-to-date is an essential part of any security plugin and this plugin can let you know when there are new plugin and definition update available. If you’re allergic to “phone home” scripts then don’t use this plugin (or WordPress at all for that matter).
