<p>This plugin allows you to automatically insert your Project Honeypot links into all of your pages and block IP addresses that are listed on the Http:BL list from Project Honeypot. There is an option to block IP addresses that have been blocked by Spamcop using their blacklist and the SANS Internet Storm Center API as well.<br />
To prevent bots from using brute force attacks and scanning your site there is an option to block users that fail to login a set number of times or use blocked user names. You can also block IP addresses that generate a large number of 404 errors. This plugin will also prevent WordPress User Enumeration and automatically block anyone attempting it.</p>

This plugin does the job very well. Besides using Project Honyepot and Spamcop, I really love the additional Login and 404 handling that protects from brute force attacks. In combination with a 2FA login plugin this makes me finally feel a lot safer using Wordpress. Thanks a lot!


Amazing! A must have for every site!
