New Simple WordPress Plugin

Hello,

I know of one frequently updated WordPress plugin with Stop Forum Spam integrated. It has more features than I need. The others are old. So, I created a new WordPress plugin for Stop Forum Spam. It gets the job done by blocking IPs in the SPS database, and then I have another plugin that handles additional and more complex security.

So, if you're like me and you already have WordPress set up with security the way you want but you just want to add Stop Forum Spam, this could be the plugin for you!

github.com/zerosonesfun/wp-stop-forum-spam-api

Features:

- Query the Stop Forum Spam database to identify spammy or malicious IPs.
- Block IPs with a high confidence score.
- Cache results for improved performance.
- Easy testing with the / ?testsfs=  query parameter. (e.g. use yourwebsite.com/?testsfs=185.115.4.226 to test; replace the IP with any IP in the SFS database)

Re: New Simple WordPress Plugin

using the ?testsfs= parameter could leave your website open to relay attacks where someone hammers your site for data, leaving it crippled.  You might want to have this option disabled by default
