It is intentionally focused: a per-IP attempt counter, a progressive block ladder, and an optional community lookup. No bloat, no dashboards, no upsell.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Two operating modes<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Local Shield (default).<\/strong> Counts failed logins per IP and blocks attackers based on configurable thresholds. The plugin makes zero outbound network requests in this mode \u2014 all data stays on your server.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Community Network (optional).<\/strong> When you enter a free Community Access Key from reportedip.de, the plugin additionally checks the source IP against the reportedip.de community database during login attempts and shares blocked IPs back to the community. Both calls are clearly disclosed in the settings UI.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>wp_login_failed<\/code> increments a per-IP counter using an atomic upsert (no race conditions under concurrent attacks).<\/li>\n<li>When the counter exceeds your threshold, the IP is blocked for a duration drawn from a progressive ladder (5 min <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-exclude-emoji\">\u2192<\/span> 15 min <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-exclude-emoji\">\u2192<\/span> 30 min <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-exclude-emoji\">\u2192<\/span> 24 h <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-exclude-emoji\">\u2192<\/span> 48 h <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-exclude-emoji\">\u2192<\/span> 7 days).<\/li>\n<li><code>wp_authenticate_user<\/code> short-circuits known-bad IPs before the WordPress core authentication runs.<\/li>\n<li>Cache plugins (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, LiteSpeed) are honoured via the HTTP 403 status plus explicit <code>Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0<\/code> and <code>Pragma: no-cache<\/code> headers on the block page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Privacy<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>IP addresses are processed for the legitimate purpose of network security (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).<\/li>\n<li>Usernames are stored only as a SHA-256 hash, salted with <code>wp_salt()<\/code>. Plain-text usernames are never persisted or transmitted.<\/li>\n<li>In Local Shield mode, no data leaves your server. In Community Network mode, only the IP, hashed username, event type, and timestamp are sent \u2014 no domain, no contact details, no traffic data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>For developers<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Filters: <code>reportedip_hive_is_whitelisted<\/code>, <code>reportedip_hive_get_client_ip<\/code>, <code>reportedip_hive_event_category_map<\/code>, <code>reportedip_hive_api_endpoint<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li>Actions: <code>reportedip_hive_log<\/code>, <code>reportedip_hive_ip_blocked<\/code>, <code>reportedip_hive_report_queued<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A free Community Access Key is available at reportedip.de. The plugin works without one in Local Shield mode.<\/p>\n<h3>External services<\/h3>\n<p>This plugin can connect to the ReportedIP API at <code>https:\/\/reportedip.de<\/code>. All<br \/>\nexternal requests are <strong>opt-in only<\/strong> \u2014 they are made exclusively when (a) a<br \/>\n&#8220;Community Access Key&#8221; has been entered in the plugin settings and (b) the<br \/>\n&#8220;Operation Mode&#8221; is set to &#8220;Community Network&#8221;. The default mode is &#8220;Local<br \/>\nShield&#8221;, which performs zero external requests.<\/p>\n<h4>Endpoint 1: IP-reputation lookup<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>URL: <code>https:\/\/reportedip.de\/wp-json\/reportedip\/v2\/check?ip={ip}<\/code><\/li>\n<li>HTTP verb: GET<\/li>\n<li>Auth header: <code>X-Key: {your-access-key}<\/code><\/li>\n<li>Trigger: a login attempt reaches <code>wp_authenticate_user<\/code><\/li>\n<li>Timeout: 2 seconds (fail-open \u2014 login proceeds when the API does not respond)<\/li>\n<li>Data sent: only the source IP address of the current login attempt<\/li>\n<li>Data NOT sent: usernames, passwords, cookies, server identifiers, domain name<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Endpoint 2: Blocked-IP report<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>URL: <code>https:\/\/reportedip.de\/wp-json\/reportedip\/v2\/report<\/code><\/li>\n<li>HTTP verb: POST (JSON body)<\/li>\n<li>Auth header: <code>X-Key: {your-access-key}<\/code><\/li>\n<li>Trigger: a brute-force \/ spray threshold has been exceeded; the report is<br \/>\nqueued in the database and dispatched by a 15-minute cron job<\/li>\n<li>Data sent: the offending IP, an integer category ID for the threat type,<br \/>\nand a short human-readable comment (e.g. &#8220;5 failed logins in 15 minutes&#8221;)<\/li>\n<li>Data NOT sent: usernames in plain text, passwords, full request bodies,<br \/>\ndomain name, contact information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Endpoint 3: Access-key verification<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>URL: <code>https:\/\/reportedip.de\/wp-json\/reportedip\/v2\/verify-key<\/code><\/li>\n<li>HTTP verb: GET<\/li>\n<li>Auth header: <code>X-Key: {entered-key}<\/code><\/li>\n<li>Trigger: an administrator clicks &#8220;Test connection&#8221; in the plugin settings<\/li>\n<li>Data sent: only the access key under verification<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Hashing of submitted usernames<\/h4>\n<p>When a brute-force attempt is detected and the failing username is recorded<br \/>\nlocally, the plugin stores <code>sha256( username + wp_salt() )<\/code> only \u2014 never the<br \/>\nplain text.
