  When donating 29, do I have the core resource released to use as many times as necessary on all my sites?

    Yes, your donation will unlock the automatic update feature on all your sites, and that will install the core file definitions to each one once the automatic updates is enabled.

  This is a great idea. ‘d also love to see it generate a list of ‘extra’ files in the root, admin and includes areas because that’s where I see some wicked stuff inserted.

  Also, and I’m sure you’ve got this covered, php files in content/uploads always needs checked. Backup Buddy puts them in uploads legitimately but it’s pretty rare that they should be there otherwise.

    I have tried these ideas before which caused a lot of alarm and generated more questions about safe files than I could reasonably manage. You would be surprised how often these two circumstances occur in the wild. I have kept this need in mind though, and I am thinking about a way to reintroduce these features without causing wide-spread panic.

      I admit, I’m not really sure about this, but other than adding something like a robots.txt or sitemap files in the root dir, shouldn’t wp-includes and wp-admin always = the core comparison?

        I thought the same thing until I tried it and found out that there are actually lots of legitimate additions to these directories. That’s why I fell back on simply validating the checksums in the files that I know are supposed to be there and just scanning the additional files in the same way that all other unknown files are scanned.

  Hello there! I have a question! Is this option not free, right? Do we have to pay for this new feature?

    The Core Files definitions are only available with the Automatic Update feature at this time. So you would need to make a donation of $29+ to enable the Automatic Updates, and then the Core Files definitions will be installed.

      Awesome, I figured it was highly requested. I’m an admin with Liquid Web and love your plugin. Pushing to have this widely used possibly by us. Do you currently have any hosts using your product?

        My target audience has been those site owners who don’t have the skills or tools to combat hackers attacking their own site, but it is inevitable that more and more server admins are getting involved, and they need a more coarse and robust set of tools that are not dependent on an API infrastructure like WordPress. I am currently working on a script that leverages the existing definitions of know threat that I have worked so hard to produce and maintain, that can also be run at the command line or scheduled in your crontab.
