Two tables of my WP installation have grown much bigger than all others:

[prefix]_looksee3_core
[prefix]_looksee3_scan_files

Is this normal? I’ve run the usual repair/optimize/”sweep” operations, and these tables still take up the majority of my database size.

Just started to give me error “The pre-scan could not complete.” on one of free sites. Two others is ok. Plugins, wp-versions, even themes are the same

Look-See Security Scanner 15.09-2, WordPress 4.3 – can not see file system
check report. The problem started from version 15.09-2.
Can you give some advice?

There is an odd problem. Look-See Security Scanner is running continuously. I have deactivated and reactivated it, uninstalled it. The Scan Progress displays the below.

undefined
Finished scanning undefined files!

This is just Odd!
Any ideas?

Thanks
Brad

Hi there,

I had a look at your plugin -including the code- and my first impressions are good, it looks that it performs useful WordPress integrity checks.

One thing I would have liked to see is some simple checks for potentially suspicious function calls like “eval”, “base64_encode”, “base64_decode”, “create_function”, “exec”, “shell_exe”, “system”, “passthru”, “proc_open”, “fsockopen” “pfsockopen”, “curl”*, “unserialize”, etc…

and also other potentially suspicious strings like “iframe”, “http”, “https”, “ftp”, etc…

and also series of strange looking patterns potentially indicating code obfuscation like long series of consonants or vowels or numbers or high frequency of punctuation characters and so on…

I think all of these checks are actually easy to implement.

I am aware that this might produce lot of false positives but if you offer the possibility to restrict these checks to non WordPress core files (which you already check the integrity of by comparing them to WordPress reference files which is great) then that would reduce the number of false positives.

This would be helpful to quickly check for potentially dodgy code in plugins and themes and any other non WordPress core files.

Would you have any thoughts on that?

Many thanks and best regards

After installing the plugin, when accessing Look-See Security Scanner from tools, I get the above error.

I click to install them and get the following message:

The core definitions for WordPress 4.1.1 have been successfully installed. Click here to continue to the Look-See Security Scanner.

following the link takes me back to the same error.

Any idea how to fix this?

Sorry, I’m a new WP user

Just installed your plug-in and I get the error
There is no file database for your version of WP (3.8.2)
Do you plan on releasing an update soon>

Running the same version of WordPress, one on a Windows server and the other on a Linux server, the Windows server scans much faster than the Linux one – the Windows machine is able to scan 9,000 files in only a few sceonds whereas the Linux one takes minutes to complete a scan of only 3,500 files.

I think the specs of the two machines are similar and one of the machines definitely has a faster hard drive, but would that make such a huge difference? Is it possible that there’s a configuration problem on the Linux server?

Thanks

I have enabled the FORCE_SSL_ADMIN option in my Wordpres sinstallation, yet when I look at the Configuration Analysis tab, it still reports that user sessions are unencrypted.

Presumably LookSee is only checking for FORCE_SSL_LOGIN but perhaps it should also check for FORCE_SSL_ADMIN which is even better?

After downloading and activating plugin, there is no “Install Now” button in the Tools section. There is only the name of the plugin, nothing else. I deleted the plugin.

Nice plugin however I am finding it goes into an infinite loop.

When I run the scan it pauses at 2000 item and displays the following dialogue box in firefox

“To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier.”
Resend and cancel buttons are presented, it just reloops on pressing either. The only way to get out of the loop is to click on a menu open or close the page.

This is a brand new site without any contents just themes and plugins and only a few.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I did install Look-See Security Scanner on a fresh wordpress 3.5.1 install, that I host myself.
I use MySQL 5.5.29-0ubuntu0.12.04.2 with MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) , and tables in InnoDB format.

When I first ran Look-See Security Scanner, it asked my to install definition files, then again and again.

The apache logs state:
MySQL error: Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 for the table creation.

As a workaround, in wp-content/plugins/look-see-security-scanner/index.php I removed in the SQL table creation the line
UNIQUE KEY file2 (file,file_hash),
as the resulting key file2 is too long for my MySQL configuration (InnoDB).

See Prefix limitations on the MySQL documentation.

I’m sure there’s a better fix ??

Regards
