描述
Gatorio is a minimal WordPress security plugin that protects login endpoints against brute-force attacks.
The plugin follows a strict privacy-first and KISS (keep it simple) philosophy.
No dashboards.
No tracking.
No unnecessary complexity.
Just effective login protection.
Unlike many plugins, Gatorio blocks login attempts before authentication begins.
This prevents bypasses caused by plugins that override the default WordPress login flow.
Features
- Brute-force protection
- Login attempt limiter
- Temporary lockout
- Pre-authentication request blocking (init hook)
- Works with WordPress, WooCommerce and custom login forms
- Login delay (bot mitigation)
- Generic login errors (no information leakage)
- XML-RPC protection
- Username enumeration protection (REST API)
- IP hashing (privacy-friendly, no raw IP storage)
安装
- Upload the plugin folder to
/wp-content/plugins/ - Activate the plugin
- Protection starts automatically
常见问题
-
Does the plugin store IP addresses?
-
No. Gatorio hashes IP addresses using SHA-256 and does not store raw IPs.
-
Does it require configuration?
-
No. The plugin works automatically without setup.
-
Does it work with WooCommerce or custom login forms?
-
Yes. Gatorio blocks login attempts at request level, independent of the authentication system.
-
Does it slow down the login?
-
A minimal delay is applied to slow down automated attacks.
