MadTek’s Entrusans IDS security plugin adds tamper-resistance to your security tool set. Sophisticated hackers scan WordPress websites 24X7 looking for vulnerabilities and they know how to delete or disable security plugins to avoid detection. Whether a breach is due to a Zero-Day attack or a known vulnerability, once hackers gain access to your website, they own it. Tamper-resistance is essential to expose hackers who disable your website’s security plugins. Until you remove all malicious code and remediate all malicious file deletions or changes your website remains compromised. MadTek developed the Entrusans IDS plugin to help WordPress website owners restore their websites quickly after a breach. Remediating a hacked website can be a complex and costly forensic job. The Entrusans system gives you the tamper-resistant file change history you need to quickly identify deleted, added and changed files. MadTek encrypts and stores your file-change data on remote servers denying hackers the ability to go undetected. If you have a mission-critical website e.g. eCommerce, you need to know ASAP if a hacker penetrates your website. ### Manual Install 1.

Tamper resistant means that a website owner employs extra measures to detect malicious changes to their website. Malicious changes to websites can be covered up even with security plugins installed. Entrusans IDS stores file change history off-site. To go undetected hackers need access to file change history to cover their tracks. Does Entrusans IDS correct any problems it finds? Entrusans IDS does not correct problems. Entrusans IDS captures file change history and uses that history to detect changes on a website for analysis. The website owner will determine if the changes to the website are legitimate or malicious. Why are there two steps in activation? The first step is to activate the plugin from the WordPress plugin screen. The second activation is to establish contact with the Entrusans IDS server to initiate monitoring and the capture of file system snapshots. What happens when a scan fails? Entrusans IDS scans are subject to time out for many reasons including the owner’s website could be offline, there could be a network failure or a hacker could have deleted the Entrusans IDS client. The Entrusans IDS scanner retries in the event of a time out and after successive failures notifies the website owner via email that the scans are failing. If I do not receive an email does that mean I’m OK? Entrusans IDS only sends emails if there are changes to files on your website. How often does the Entrusans IDS scan? Every 24 hours. Does this plugin work with WPMU? Entrusans IDS supports any PHP based website. The pricing model for the Entrusans IDS is based on the number of domains associated with a multi-site web installation. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors and Developers “MadTek Entrusans ™ IDS client” is open source software.
