## Descrizione

**Hard Boiled Security** stands in contrast to the many heavily marketed security
plugins available for WordPress. Rather than providing a barrage of configuration
options and intrusive prompts and upsells, we silently close the most common security
vulnerabilities.

This plugin was inspired by many painful situations we helped people out of over
the years and developed to help people who do not code secure websites their with
minimal effort.

### Plugin Features

 * Zero configuration, hardens security just by activating
 * Disables all file editing within WordPress Admin.
 * Pingbacks and Trackbacks are disabled on all existing and future posts.
 * Prevents username exposure by ensuring their nice name, which is used in their
   profile URL and Rest API endpoint, is not their username. Those with the `list_users`
   capability can change this if needed.
 * Tested and working with [Roots.io’s Bedrock](https://roots.io/bedrock) directory
   structure as a mu-plugin.

### Planned features

There is more we can do to harden your WordPress website’s security. The features
we will implement in the future will also be opinionated and require little to no
configuration.
 – Block brute force attacks by limiting failed login attempts within
a reasonable timeframe – Prevent email server spam and abuse by limiting password
reset requests – Logging when brute force and spam prevention measures are triggered
with optional opt-in email notifications

### Keep it secret, keep it safe

This plugin is not a magic fix-all security solution. We don’t believe any plugin
can do that.

Website security, regardless of platform, requires careful consideration around 
common security principles around access and permissions. Things like always using
strong passwords, never reusing them across multiple websites, and limiting administrator
accounts to those who actually need it. So many WordPress websites are compromised
because administrator access is given out where the editor role is perfectly sufficient.
Even if you are the website owner, using an editor account for your daily activities
is a good idea.

### What to do to stay secure beyond using this plugin

 * Strong, unique, randomised passwords.
 * Fewer administrator accounts given only to those that need access to how the 
   website works.
 * Use editor accounts or lower for regular content updates where possible.
 * Ensure the plugins and themes you use have been updated within the last few months.
 * Abandoned themes or plugins will not be updated if security vulnerabilities are
   found so replace them.

### Why this plugin may not be for you

This is an opinionated plugin built around our assumptions. These assumptions are
based on our experiences over 15 years of building WordPress websites and may go
against your workflow or philosophy.

One of the main reasons we wrote this plugin is to create an easy way for people
to disable the built-in file editor in the WordPress admin. A compromised administrator
account can easily add malicious code to any theme or plugin and it can be very 
difficult to detect and locate it. This is the main reason we disable this feature
outright. Secondly, if you’re writing code, we consider it to be bad practice to
edit files directly in a production environment (ie, a live website).
