## Beskrivelse

Every day, thousands of WordPress sites are hacked. Most security plugins offer 
protection, but they come with a massive cost: they slow down your server with bloated
features and complex settings.

**Protector is different.** It is a lightweight, AI-ready security layer that turns
your WordPress site into a digital fortress without compromising speed.

Whether you are trying to recover a hacked site or proactively defend your business,
Protector delivers enterprise-grade security that anyone can configure. With our
new **1-Click Security Overview Dashboard**, you can activate all recommended protections
and block 98% of automated attacks in under 8 seconds.

📖 **[Read the Official Documentation here](https://kloxstudios.com/documentation/protector/)**

### 🦠 Malware Threat Scanner & Auto-Repair

Don’t just find malware; destroy it. Our deep, recursive local scanner verifies 
your WordPress integrity without crashing your server:
 * **Core Integrity Verification:**
Cross-references all Core files against the official WordPress.org checksums. * **
Advanced Pattern Detection:** Detects suspicious code patterns (like `eval`, `base64_decode`,`
shell_exec`) hidden in your files. * **1-Click Auto-Repair:** Found a modified core
file? Click “Repair” and Protector will automatically fetch a clean, original version
directly from the official WP SVN and overwrite the infected file.

### 🛡️ Login Fortress (Brute-Force Protection)

Hackers relentlessly target the `wp-login.php` page. We make it disappear.
 * **
Secret Login URL:** Hide `wp-login.php` completely. Any unauthorized attempt will
be instantly redirected to a custom URL of your choice. * **Smart Honeypots:** Inject
invisible fields into your login and comment forms to trap and block spam/brute-
force bots automatically. * **Block Username Scanning:** Prevent attackers from 
discovering your admin usernames via `?author=1` enumeration.

### 🔒 1-Click Site Hardening

Lock down common vulnerabilities instantly:
 * **Security Headers:** Protect against
XSS, Clickjacking, and MIME-Sniffing attacks with a single toggle. * **XML-RPC Control:**
Disable XML-RPC completely to eliminate one of the biggest brute-force attack vectors
on WordPress. * **Version Obfuscation:** Hide your WordPress version from the source
code so hackers can’t target known exploits. * **Restrict REST API:** Block public
access to endpoints that expose sensitive user data.

### 📊 Live Attack Log

Peace of mind you can actually see. Monitor every blocked attack, triggered honeypot,
and deleted malware in real-time straight from your dashboard.

## Installation

You don’t need a PhD in cybersecurity to secure your site.

 1. Upload the `protector-security` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory (
    or install directly via the WP Plugin directory).
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Navigate to the new “Protector” menu in your dashboard.
 4. Click the massive yellow **“Activate Full Protection Now”** button on the dashboard
    for instant, 1-click security.

For detailed configuration guides, visit our [Official Documentation](https://kloxstudios.com/documentation/protector/).

## FAQ

### How do I use the secret login URL?

 1. Go to the “Protector” menu > “Login Fortress” tab.
 2. Toggle the ‘Change your secret login URL’ option.
 3. Set your ‘Secret Login Term’ (e.g., `mysecretaccess`).
 4. Save changes and use your new login URL: `yoursite.com/wp-login.php?mysecretaccess`.

### What if I forget my secret term and get locked out?

Don’t panic! You can temporarily disable the plugin by renaming the `protector-security`
folder inside `wp-content/plugins/` via FTP or your hosting File Manager. This will
instantly restore the default `wp-login.php` access.

### Will the Malware Scanner slow down my site?

No! The scanner uses AJAX-based asynchronous batch processing. This means it scans
your files in small chunks, preventing server timeouts and CPU spikes, even on massive
websites with thousands of files.

Eu estava há dias tentando resolver alguns problemas de acesso e segurança no meu
site e não conseguia encontrar a solução. Instalei o Protector e em poucos minutos
já estava tudo funcionando. A função de esconder o admin URL é excelente.
