PWNPress: collect vulnerable WordPress websites over internet
PWNPress is an innovative service that harnesses the power of data and cutting-edge technologies to identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in WordPress websites. Our mission is to empower website owners, developers, and security professionals with actionable insights that help fortify their WordPress installations and protect their digital assets.
In today’s digital landscape, where websites are increasingly targeted by cyber threats, safeguarding the security of your WordPress-powered website is paramount. We are thrilled to introduce PWNPress, a groundbreaking project designed to elevate WordPress security to new heights.
Why We Built PWNPress?
The inspiration behind PWNPress arose from the pressing need for an intelligent and comprehensive security solution for WordPress websites. As avid WordPress enthusiasts and cybersecurity experts, we recognized the challenges faced by website owners in ensuring their online properties remain secure in the face of evolving threats.
With an ever-growing ecosystem of WordPress plugins, themes, and core software, vulnerabilities and misconfigurations can inadvertently slip through the cracks, exposing websites to potential breaches. Our goal was to bridge this gap by providing a centralized platform that identifies and highlights potential security risks, empowering website owners to take proactive measures to safeguard their online presence.
How We Managed To Index More than 15 Milion of WordPress Websites?
At the core of PWNPress lies a sophisticated data collection and analysis system. Leveraging the extensive Common Crawl repository, we parse and analyze vast amounts of WordPress-related data from websites across the internet. This approach allows us to identify security vulnerabilities and misconfigurations at scale, providing us with comprehensive insights into the global WordPress ecosystem.
To enhance accuracy and provide tailored recommendations, we also developed the PWNPress WordPress plugin. By securely collecting information about your WordPress core version, plugin versions, web server type, and PHP version, our plugin assists in generating personalized vulnerability reports specific to your website.
These reports, based on statistical analysis rather than specific vulnerability details, offer valuable insights into the security posture of your WordPress installation. Armed with this knowledge, you can take appropriate actions to fortify your website’s defenses and stay ahead of potential threats.
