I just released a new plugin that improves a security of your WordPress. It prevents your blog from clickjacking, cookies stealing, session fixation attacks, SQL Injection scanners, directory browsing and more. Download: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/extra-security/ Comments and bug reports are appreciated.
I noticed that there is a problem (500 Internal Server Error) on websites using Godaddy as a hosting. Can anyone help me fix this? I have not any experience with this hosting.
I got same problem. I'm using Hostgator. Edit: I found how to fix. This plugin changed .htaccess file, so open this file and delete this plugin's codes. Then will work your site again.
Well, I will try this plugin once you get the new version.. and sure would write a Post about it in my blog Good Luck On Your Go Let it Rip
Usually i'm using wp-security for the hacking problems since my student been hacked his site. And solve the problems until now and no problems using it.
I just upgraded this plugin to version 0.8. Extra Security should be stable. It allows custom settings now. Thank you for bug reports!
I will try this plugin...thanks for sharing mate...so, still I need configure my .htaccess file to make this plugin work and not error ?
If your site returns error 500, open your .htaccess file and delete some code between "# BEGIN Extra Security" and "# END Extra Security" (I am not sure but the critical line is probably "Options All -Indexes"). Then reinstall the plugin. It should work.
I wonder what function that makes ht access been rewrited by your plugin? Does this plugin changed the other part or component in wordpress?
Explore the source code of the plugin. Yes, it does. It adds some pieces of code in your template files.
