Walkercorp Sentinelle – Security, Firewall, Anti-Bot & Malware Scan

Description

Walkercorp Sentinelle protects your WordPress site and explains every protection in plain language. The plugin works on its own, with no account and no external service, and only offers protections that are actually active.

Main features:

• Camouflage: hides the WordPress version, adds security headers, blocks user enumeration, disables the file editor, and blocks access to readme.html and license.txt.
• Login and access: limits login attempts, blocks common usernames, hides login error details, sends an alert on new logins, and enables automatic logout.
• Firewall: application firewall (SQL injection, XSS, directory traversal), rate limiting per address and per subnet, blocking of vulnerability scanners, blocking of aggressive crawlers (Baidu, Bytespider, SEO and AI bots), anti-crawl protection for WooCommerce filter URLs, blocking of sensitive file probing, automatic banning of scanners, IP allow and deny lists, XML-RPC protection and REST API restriction.
• Server-level blocking: on Apache or LiteSpeed, optionally writes rules into the .htaccess file to block before PHP runs; ready-to-copy rules are provided for Nginx and Cloudflare.
• File scan: scans the uploads folder for hidden executable files and suspicious code.
• Traffic analysis: a real-time chart and a live connection feed (IP address, type, requested page).
• Threat log and a security summary widget on the dashboard.

External services

This plugin does not contact any external service. All protections run locally on your site.

Privacy

For the security log and traffic analysis, the plugin stores IP addresses of visitors and blocked requests, along with the requested page, locally in your own database. This data stays on your site, is never sent to any third party, and is purged automatically. You can remove everything by enabling the data-erase option before deleting the plugin.
