WP Fail2Ban Redux records various WordPress events to your server’s system log for integration with <a href="http://www.fail2ban.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">Fail2Ban</a>.
This plugin is (mostly) a drop-in replacement for <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fail2ban/" rel="ugc">WP fail2ban</a> by <a href="https://charles.lecklider.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">Charles Lecklider</a>.
While WP fail2ban is a great plugin, there are a number of improvements that could be made. In order to facilitate these improvements, a major refactoring of the codebase was necessary.
The core functionality between WP Fail2Ban Redux and WP fail2ban remains the same. WP Fail2Ban Redux is considered to be mostly a drop-in replacement, because all constants have been replaced with filters, and will, possibly, require some upgrade work. Don’t work it’s as simple as implementing the constants.
The following events are recorded by default:
<ul>
<li>Failed XML-RPC authentication attempts.</li>
<li>Successful authentication attempts.</li>
<li>Failed authentication attempts — differentiated by a user’s existence.</li>
<li>Pingback errors.</li>
</ul>
The following events can be enabled via filter:
<ul>
<li>Pingback requests.</li>
<li>Blocked user enumeration attempts.</li>
<li>Authentication attempts for blocked usernames.</li>
<li>Spammed comments.</li>
</ul>

Simple and Effective, Works Well.

Easy, effective, no unnecessary control panel, no premium parts, no boring messages, it just do the work!

Having fail2ban already configured in the server, I installed it on a bunch of WP sites.

Locking repetitive attackers, it saves some server resources peaks.

Really thanks for the plugin.

If you already have fail2ban, this is a must

The Trunc Logging plugin gives you visibility to all the activity inside WordPress. Logins, logouts, failed logins, new posts, new 
plugins, etc. Every major activity from WordPress is stored for analysis and forensics purposes.
Tracked actions:
<ul>
<li>Logins</li>
<li>Failed logins</li>
<li>Posts / pages published</li>
<li>Posts / pages trashed</li>
<li>Posts / pages removed</li>
<li>Plugin installed</li>
<li>Plugin activated</li>
<li>Themes installed</li>
<li>Themes activated</li>
</ul>
And much more.

Trunc Logging – Auditing syslog for WordPress


Maybe a biased review, but I use it on all my sites. Nothing better than having good logging showing all of what is happening inside WordPress.
