Wordpress Security Scanner

[emp]

From my blog, thought you guys might like this.


Wordpress is not necessarily a secure system. A lot of factors can make a WP blog insecure and vulnerable to attacks.


But help is at hand: over at blogsecurity lies a small plugin that will scan your WordPress installation for known issues.


Usage is simple:
Install the plugin, activate, deactivate. Read the report.


Enjoy,

Interesting idea.

They find out the version plugin by looking at for example readme files in known locations in wp-plugins:

"sem-fancy-excerpt" => "$wp_plugins_dir/sem-fancy-excerpt/readme.txt",


The best thing for wordpress staff to do would be to move that default wp-plugins folder away from public_html.
