In reply to: [Botnet Attack Blocker] Working with MultisiteHi, individual tables should be created for each subsite – is this not happening for you? You can whitelist partial IP addresses, so if your ISP uses a range 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.255 you can type in 192.168 to match all IP addresses containing those numbers.

In reply to: [Botnet Attack Blocker] Can't log in, can I reset through the database?Hi, clearing the table of failures should release any lockouts – if you still can’t log in you can delete the folder in plugins via ftp – that will remove the plugin.

In reply to: [Botnet Attack Blocker] Wordfence comparison in your description.@mark – sorry, last time I used Wordfence (great piece of software by the way) that didn’t exist, I’ll update the description for the next release.
@phil – do you have access to the server logs? It’s possible that the attempts were spread out and not within 5 mins of each other. Have you tested it manually to check everything is working okay? Thanks.

In reply to: [Botnet Attack Blocker] Not workingHi, have you tried testing it by logging in with the wrong info a few times yourself and seeing if you are blocked? The server software shouldn’t be an issue. Let me know how you get on. Thanks.

In reply to: [Botnet Attack Blocker] Needs DocumentationHi, you’re right – bloody typical eh, developers not bothering with documentation!
Partial IP matching works like this: you type in part of an IP address, so for example 192.168.1 then that covers you for any IP address that starts with that string – whatever the octets that come after. You can separate the IPs with commas or spaces so you could write:
192.168 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3
I’ll add documentation to my to do list. Sorry for the confusion! Thanks.

In reply to: [Botnet Attack Blocker] Used to like itHi, the plugin prevents people from logging into your WordPress site but in does not prevent people requesting the login page (although they only see an error message) – so it minimises any damage by loading as few resources as possible each time and also prevents your WP from being compromised/hacked into. I imagine the attackers just hit your login page multiple times and couldn’t get any further. So the plugin worked as expected and protected you. Feel free to test this yourself. Sorry for any confusion. Thanks.

In reply to: [Botnet Attack Blocker] Support for Dynamic DNS?Hi, it’s on the development roadmap, will let you know when it’s made it into the code! Thanks.

In reply to: [Botnet Attack Blocker] strpos() [function.strpos]: Empty delimiterThanks for the message – I’ve never had this error myself, it means that one of the whitelisted IPs is empty. I’ve just released a new version (1.9.1) that hopefully will fix this for you. Let me know how you get on.
With the dynamic IPs, you can use partial matching, e.g. type 192.168 to match 192.168.x.x

In reply to: [Botnet Attack Blocker] Why 5?Sorry, just saw this. What if you typo your login from a different IP and then are locked out for 24 hours? I can add more options in the next release for systems with a single user 🙂
