<p>There are many ways to block unwanted access to your website. This plugin checks which user agent is accessing your website. If it is outdated, unwanted, or suspicious, access is blocked.</p>
<p>Every time your web browser makes a request to a website, it sends a HTTP Header called the “User Agent”. The User Agent string contains information about your web browser name, operating system, device type and lots of other useful bits of information.</p>
<p>The plugin sends with an API the User Agent string of every browser that accesses your website for the first time to <a href="https://api.whatismybrowser.com/api/v2/user_agent_parse" rel="nofollow ugc">https://api.whatismybrowser.com/api/v2/user_agent_parse</a> to obtain following information about the User Agent:</p>
<ul>
<li>Software Name & Version</li>
<li>Operating System Name & Version</li>
</ul>
<p>With this information, the plugin attempts to detect old and bad browsers and denies them access to your website.</p>
<h4>HowTo</h4>
<ul>
<li>Go to <a href="https://developers.whatismybrowser.com/api/pricing/" rel="nofollow ugc">What is my browser?</a> and sign up to the WhatIsMyBrowser.com API for a Basic (free) Application Plan.</li>
<li>Take care about the <a href="https://developers.whatismybrowser.com/api/about/legal/" rel="nofollow ugc">WhatIsMyBrowser.com API Terms and Conditions</a>.</li>
<li>You have a limit of 5000 hits / month for Parsing User Agent. That’s why the plugin manages a database table.</li>
<li>The user agent string of every browser that accesses your website for the first time is sent to this service, and the information is stored this table.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Functions</h4>
<ul>
<li>The plugin checks whether the browser is up to date; it does not check whether the requested page or post actually exists.</li>
<li>Browsers are blocked if the browser and/or system are outdated:
<ul>
<li>Default: Chrome, Edge and Chrome based browsers < 139, Firefox browsers < 140, Safari < 18, Samsung Browser < 28, Internet Explorer, Netscape (!)</li>
<li>Old systems are all Windows versions prior to Windows 10, MacOS prior to Catalina and Android versions < 10 and Symbian.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>It will be blocked also if “Software” contains “unknown” or is empty.</li>
<li>You can also set up other browsers.</li>
<li>Sometimes there are false positive, for example, if the browser is from Mastodon. In this case, you can exclude it from the check.</li>
<li>The plugin checks whether the crawlers really originate from Google, Bing, Yandex, Apple, Mojeek, Baidu, Seznam and others.</li>
<li>The plugin blocks browsers like Chrome, Firefox and other without <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Fetch_metadata_request_header" rel="nofollow ugc">Sec-Fetch headers</a> (Sec-Fetch-Site, Sec-Fetch-Mode, Sec-Fetch-Dest) and incorrect <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Guides/Client_hints" rel="nofollow ugc">Client hints</a> (Sec-CH-UA, Sec-CH-UA-Platform).</li>
</ul>
<h4>About robots.txt</h4>
<ul>
<li>You can configure some rewrite rules to provide a robots.txt file that can allow or deny crawling for a browser. If crawling is denied, access to your website will be blocked for that browser.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Logging</h4>
<ul>
<li>The logging can be very detailed. Please check the logs and the WIMB table regularly.</li>
</ul>

<p>DeTx uses a global database of attackers (Bots) and also includes Artificial Intelligence and data analysis to identify Bots. Bots and the fraud they cause are always changing. BotRx DeTx Plugin for WordPress continuously monitors network data and traffic patterns, using AI to identify and correlate threats. With our global collective intelligence, we glean insights from thousands of websites to fingerprint the Bot DNA and identify what assets they are targeting.</p>
<h4>Main features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Detect Bots: identify bots (includes web crawlers, automatic tools and headless browsers).</li>
<li>Detect Malicious Actors: identify malicious visitors”</li>
<li>Geolocation: identify visitors by city and country.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 4.4.1+</li>
<li>PHP 5.6.19+</li>
<li>MySQL 5.5.47+</li>
<li>At least 40 MB of free web space</li>
<li>At least 5 MB of free DB space</li>
<li>At least 32 Mb of free PHP memory for the tracker (peak memory usage)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Uninstalling</h3>
<p>BotRx DeTx Plugin cleans up after itself. All plugin settings and log entries will be removed from your database when the plugin is uninstalled via the Plugins screen.<br />
More specifically, BotRx DeTx Plugin adds option(‘botrx_setting’) and table(‘wp_botrx_stats’) to the database. When the plugin is uninstalled via the Plugins screen, both of those items are removed automatically.</p>
<h4>How is this plugin different than a Web Application Firewall?</h4>
<p>A WAF is used to manage block lists from an application server view. BotRx Detx Plugin is for bot detection only. It doesn’t have any capability to block traffic and provides detailed graphs and information about bot traffic on your site.</p>
<p>= The Core JS link is not appearing in the source code of my pages.=<br />
In order for the plugin to add the code to your pages, your theme must include the template tag, <code>wp_footer()</code>. This is a recommended tag for all WordPress themes, so your theme should include it. If not, you can either add it yourself or contact the theme developer and ask for help. Here is <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_footer" rel="nofollow ugc">more information about wp_footer()</a>. Once the footer tag is included, the plugin will be able to add the trigger link to your pages.</p>
<h4>Will this be able to differentiate between good bots like Google and Bing?</h4>
<p>Yes, BotRx Detx Plugin will details bad bots by type and also shows traffic that’s Human.</p>
<h4>How do I reset my current version of BotRx DeTx Plugin?</h4>
<p>Visit the plugin settings and click the “Update” button.</p>
<h4>Is there a plan in BotRx for DeTx Plugin to send email alerts?</h4>
<p>We now have capability to send email reports daily, weekly, or monthly but no alerts are possible at this time. Please email us and we will set the report frequency based on your preference.</p>
<h4>Are Multiple websites supported with one API key?</h4>
<p>the BotRx DeTx Plugin requires an API key for proper installation. It is recommended to use a single API key for each website, otherwise data for multiple sites will be mixed. The API key is permanent as long as you wish to make use of our bot intelligence – welcome aboard!</p>
<h4>What about WordPress automatic (hidden) footer insertions?</h4>
<p>By default, WordPress will automatically serve a hidden, “virtual” javascript file to incoming pages. DeTx JS is inserted on each page, and the collection engine sends data to the DeTx cloud for each page. The DeTx plugin doesn’t generate or impact existing server-side processes. We also don’t have server interaction, other than to simply count each web server.</p>
<h4>Do you offer any other security plugins?</h4>
<p>No, indeed, this is our foray into this exciting place, much obliged!</p>
<h4>Other Questions?</h4>
<p>Send any questions or feedback to us by sending an email to detx.support@botrx.com.</p>
