## Descrizione

Trufend helps you protect a WordPress site with practical security controls that
stay out of your way until you need them. Enable only the modules you want, review
activity from a single dashboard, and keep common attack paths closed.

#### Free features

 * **IP Lock** — Limit failed login attempts, block abusive IP addresses, and unblock
   them from the settings page.
 * **Login Security** — Hide login hints, optional custom login URL, and email-based
   two-factor authentication.
 * **Admin User Protection** — Enforce stronger administrator passwords and surface
   important account changes.
 * **Security Headers** — Send common HTTP security headers such as `X-Frame-Options`
   and `Referrer-Policy`.
 * **XML-RPC Protection** — Disable XML-RPC when it is not needed.
 * **User Enumeration Protection** — Block common author-scanning techniques.
 * **REST API Protection** — Restrict anonymous REST API access when configured.
 * **Comment Protection** — Add a lightweight honeypot to comment forms.
 * **User Activity Log** — Review recent security-related activity in the dashboard.
 * **Malware Scanner** — Scan individual files for suspicious PHP patterns.
 * **Backups** — Create manual database or site file backups in the background.
 * **File Permissions** — Browse file and folder permissions from the WordPress 
   admin.

#### External libraries

Trufend bundles the following library with its distribution:

 * [shewa/wp-job-queue](https://packagist.org/packages/shewa/wp-job-queue) — GPL-
   2.0-or-later — Background job processing for scans and backups.

## Installazione

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/trufend`, or install the plugin
    through the WordPress Plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress.
 3. Open **Trufend** in the admin menu to review the dashboard and enable the modules
    you need.

If you install from source, run `composer install --no-dev` in the plugin directory
before activation so bundled dependencies are available.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin phone home or collect analytics?

No. Trufend does not send site data to external services by default. Optional Pro
upgrade links can be changed with the `trufend_pro_upgrade_url` filter.

### Will uninstalling remove my data?

Yes. When you delete the plugin, Trufend removes its database tables, settings, 
scheduled events, and stored backup archives by default. Use the `trufend_uninstall_delete_backups`
filter if you want to keep backup files.

### Does the plugin modify wp-config.php?

Only when Pro is active and you enable the file editor protection toggle. Trufend
adds a managed `DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT` constant and removes it on uninstall when possible.

### Can I use this on multisite?

Yes. When network-activated, settings can be managed network-wide and per-site tables
are cleaned up on uninstall.

### How does the IP Lock (brute-force protection) work, and how do I unblock myself?

Trufend tracks failed login attempts per IP address. Once an IP exceeds the configured
threshold it is blocked and redirected away from the login page. If you lock yourself
out, you can unblock your own IP directly from the **Trufend  IP Lock** settings
page while logged in from a different IP, or by temporarily deactivating the plugin
via FTP/cPanel and re-activating it after adjusting the threshold.

### What does the Malware Scanner check for?

The scanner inspects PHP files inside your WordPress installation for suspicious
patterns commonly found in malware — things like obfuscated `eval(base64_decode(...))`
calls, hidden backdoors, and injected redirect scripts. It flags files that match
known bad signatures so you can review and remove them. It is a file-pattern scanner,
not a real-time firewall, so it works best as a periodic check alongside your regular
backups.

### Does Trufend replace a server-level firewall or a WAF?

No — and no WordPress plugin can fully substitute for server-level protection. Trufend
tightens common WordPress-specific attack surfaces (login abuse, XML-RPC, user enumeration,
insecure headers) and gives you visibility into suspicious activity. For defence
in depth, combine it with a reputable hosting provider, a CDN-based WAF (such as
Cloudflare), and strong file-system permissions. Think of Trufend as an essential
application-layer layer on top of your infrastructure security, not a replacement
for it.
