A WordPress plugin that logs failed login attempts to help monitor unauthorized access attempts on WordPress websites.
HonnyPotter Description
HonnyPotter is a WordPress plugin designed to log failed login attempts on WordPress websites. The plugin operates by monitoring authentication failures and recording them to a log file for analysis. Upon installation, it automatically generates a random log file name to store the captured data. Key features include: - Automatic logging of all failed login attempts - Random log file name generation for basic obfuscation - WordPress admin panel integration for configuration - Settings panel accessible through WordPress administration interface The plugin requires installation in the WordPress plugins directory and activation through the standard WordPress plugin management system. Users can access configuration options through the Settings menu in the WordPress admin panel. The tool logs failed authentication attempts globally, which means the log files are accessible through web requests. This presents a security consideration as sensitive information like near-correct passwords could be exposed if users mistype their credentials.
