Hi there,
I noticed a bug in this plugin after finding these errors in my error_log file:

[29-Dec-2015 18:25:53 UTC] WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ” at line 1 for query SELECT ip FROM wp_simple_security_access_log WHERE login_result = 0 and time LIKE ‘2015-12-29%’ GROUP BY ip HAVING COUNT(ip) >= made by require_once(‘wp-load.php’), require_once(‘wp-config.php’), require_once(‘wp-settings.php’), do_action(‘init’), call_user_func_array, Simple_Security_Tools->security_check

The problem is related to an unitialized $this->opt_name in method security_check() in file simple-security-tools.php.

This can be easily fixed by initializing that variable in the constructor, i.e.:

$this->opt_name = 'simple-security-settings';

I hope that you can fix this in next releases.

Cheers.

If you are using CloudFLare the log in of the user will be CloudFLare IP and not customer IP.

I’ve lately gotten this warning when I delete the access log contents:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/bethisra/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-security/simple-security-access-log.php:388) in /home/bethisra/public_html/wp-content/plugins/youtube-simplegallery/youtube_simplegallery.php on line 137

Before I go to the Youtube Simple Gallery author, is there anything you might add that would assist in identifying the problem?

It’s a little hard to believe that the idiot hackers are still guessing the administration username is “admin” or “administrator”. I’d be grateful if I could just see a list of unique usernames in case someone is getting close to my administrator username. When one has a list of a thousand and more failed attempts it’s awkward to go through the list.

Thanks for offering this plugin, it’s very effective.

So what do I do if, while experimenting with my site, I’m locked-out?

MSG: “Too many failed attempts.”

I have just had approx. 8000 attempts to access my WP installation and now I can not access/open the full Access Log. I get the error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 82 bytes) in /var/www/web137/web/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1545

I can see the many attempts on the widget on my dashboard.

Any suggestions on what to do?

I’m using the Simple Security Plugin Version 1.1.4

Thanks

When you’re plugin is enabled, I have issues accessing all pages of any section that spans more than several pages.
eg, users page spanned to 8 or 9 pages, I could only visit the first. all posts pages spanned to 7 pages, with the plugin enabled I could only browse the first 3.
Any ideas?
