Enhance WordPress Security with Simple Plugin
The 'HTTP1Forbidden header on a failed login' is a straightforward WordPress plugin designed to improve security by sending a 403 Forbidden header in response to failed login attempts. This replaces the default 200 OK header that WordPress typically uses, allowing external security tools, such as fail2ban, to detect and respond to unauthorized access attempts effectively. It is a free tool that focuses solely on enhancing login security without any additional features or complexity.
This plugin is particularly useful for users looking to bolster their website's defenses against brute-force attacks by providing clearer feedback on failed logins. It requires PHP version 5.3 or higher due to its use of anonymous functions. By implementing this plugin, WordPress users can better integrate their security measures at the firewall level, ultimately contributing to a more secure web environment.
