Herself's Webtools

While doing research for the WordPress Security Suite ( Prevent Bot Registrations, Prevent bots, scrapers and other badness on your WordPress blog ) I needed some tools to pull agents, user requests and ip numbers from my log files and just give me a list of the unique ones of each.

So I wrote 3 PHP scripts to do just that.

Download the scripts, put your access-log in the same directory and run them from a command line or just load those pages in a directory on your webserver and view them. ( Be sure to block them in robots.txt if you have them on a public webserver. )

Last update: Aug 2011
- Added install/uninstall functions
- Cleaned up user interface and code

The final plugin of the three part TTC ( TimesToCome ) WordPress security set is ready. This one acts as a tripwire. If a file is changed by you or more importantly someone other than you you’ll know.

Simply install and activate the plugin. Once activated go to the plugin management page and tell it you want a list of all files changed in the last 0-99 days ( pick your day ) and it will bring up a list of altered files for you.

If your WordPress install is in the top directory of your website this will check all the directories on your website. If you are down one level ( http://yoursite.com/wordpress/ ) then you can change this line:

$directories_to_read[$dir_count] = “../”; // plugins run from wp-admin so bounce up a directory

to this:

$directories_to_read[$dir_count] = “../../”; // plugins run from wp-admin so bounce up a directory

And it will check all the directories not just your WordPress directories.
