WPHide
Securing a website is one of the most challenging task faced by web developers. Since WordPress is one of the most leading content management system, the chances of attack is also high. There are lots of attackers concentrated on WordPress and its plugins, as a result the possibility of hacking is very high in WordPress sites.
Even though there are plenty of plugins available for protecting WordPress site, there are lots of attacks occurring each day. The main advantage for malware or attacker is they have full idea about the structure of WordPress and plugins (since they are open source). Normal WordPress site is so open that anyone can get the details of the website with the URL. There are many online tools for that. For example: http://wprecon.com/
By looking at the source and viewing URLs that contain wp_ one can be sure that a site uses WordPress.
Based on these concepts we made a plugin 'WPHide' which will help you to hide the fact that you are using WordPress for website development. WPHide, hide all the site related path and details from source so that no programs will get any hint that the site is developed using WordPress.
Major features
hide/rewrite (change URLs) all sensitive WordPress elements, like:
- wp-includes
- plugins
- themes
- wp-content
- media
- make internal links relative
If someone looks into the html source, they will not be able to identify the site as using WordPress
Simple Installation
- Upload zip archive content to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
(or simply install and activate; rest we take care of)
The plugin is in development mode and first version is relesed on https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-hide/.
