Brute Force Login Protection

A Brute Force Attack aims at being the simplest kind of method to gain access to a site: it tries usernames and passwords, over and over again, until it gets in. Brute Force Login Protection is a lightweight plugin that protects your website against brute force login attacks using .htaccess.

After a specified limit of login attempts within a specified time, the IP address of the hacker will be blocked.

Features

• Limit the number of allowed login attempts using normal login form
• Limit the number of allowed login attempts using Auth Cookies
• Manually block/unblock IP addresses
• Manually whitelist trusted IP addresses
• Delay execution after a failed login attempt (to slow down brute force attack)
• Option to inform user about remaining attempts on login page
• Option to email administrator when an IP has been blocked
• Custom message to show to blocked users
