<p>How it works.</p>
<p>The plugin monitors failed login attempts, if the limit is reached the users IP is added to a local banlist.<br />
The user is now blocked and can no longer attempt to login.</p>
<p>Every 24 hours the plugin will upload the blocker IPs and download a fresh list of all IPs blocked accross the network in the last 7 days.</p>
<p>If an IP is blocked on 3 or more servers its added the the global ban list and will be blocked on all servers using the plugin.</p>

<h4>Blocking website attacks from your phone, designed for WordPress users.</h4>
<p>BruteBank is an interactive firewall plugin that allows WordPress owners and server administrators to receive real time threat notifications via a mobile app. This app then allows for immediate threat mitigation by blocking attacking IP addresses.</p>
<h4>Login Monitoring</h4>
<p>The BruteBank WordPress plugin monitors invalid login attempts to username and password logins as well as password protected pages. It then reports those attacks to the cloud for processing and fingerprinting.</p>
<h4>App Alerts</h4>
<p>Using the app you and your team are able to review attacking IP addresses organized by country and user. Blocking specific addresses or entire country and user targeted attacks with a swipe of your finger.</p>
<h4>Instant Firewall Blocks</h4>
<p>The threats you block in the app are imported by the BruteBank WordPress plugin blocking attackers instantly. Any further attempts by the attacker will result in a 403 forbidden message.</p>
<h4>XML-RPC Blocking</h4>
<p>XML-RPC is a WordPress API that allows developers to login and manage your website content. Unless you’re sure your website is using this feature, you should disable it. With BruteBank you can disable the XML-RPC API to prevent attackers from brute forcing your login credentials with a flip of a switch.</p>
