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

Scan uploaded files with ClamAV or run system commands against uploaded files.  This allows you to integrate third party malware scanners.
This plugin requires either ClamAV or another third-party scanner to be installed.  This plugin will pass uploaded files to the scanner and take appropriate actions based ont he results, but it is not, itself, a malware scanner.
If you have a dedicated server, you can install <a href="http://php-clamav.sourceforge.net" rel="nofollow ugc">php-clamav</a> for performance and convenience.

Upload Scanner

It may not have been updated in 4 years, but it's such a simple plugin that there's really no reason to... and it still works great with your server's ClamAV install.

Still does exactly what it claims

Scan all uploaded files with ClamAV or your favorite malware scanner
