Tutorial: How to update this plugin with new hashes

  • Like me many people seem to have problems to get a current version of this great plugin, which seems to be not maintained anymore.

    Here is how it goes in simple words:

    1) Check the change log to see up to which version the hashes are included:
    https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/exploit-scanner/changelog/
    You can also check via FTP: wp-content > plugins > exploit-scanner
    E. g. as of today: Up to WordPress 4.5.3

    2) Go here to find the hashes for newer versions:
    https://github.com/philipjohn/exploit-scanner-hashes
    E. g. as of today: WordPress 4.6 and 4.6.1

    3) Open these missing hash-file(s) and save the code in file(s) named ‘hashes-4.6.php’ or whatever the version number is.

    4) Upload the new file(s) via FTP to wp-content > plugins > exploit-scanner
    (In this folder you’ll see all the other ‘hashes-x.x.php’ files also.)

    Happy scanning!
