Hello,
There are lots of WordPress: Core /:0?
It seems that it does not work well on WordPress 6
]]>Hi there,
Is there a quick way for me to export all of the Snitch entries into something like a CSV format?
If not, where are the entries saved in the DB? I can grab the values from there. I have temporarily deactivated the plugin so it does not delete the current entries. I need to preserve them as proof.
Hello,
This is a feature request.
Since there are lots of external URL connections from plugins, obviously, those connections caused site slow or delayed.
It would be great if Snitch support edit those urls, can we expect the feature please?
Thanks
]]>Hiya,
Is there an option to disable logging at all, but still preserve the blocking rules?
Thanks
]]>i’m using Mastodon Autopost to send posts to a Mastodon instance
upon making a post, i checked my Mastadon acct. and there was an ongoing flood of posts that i wasn’t able to stop until i finally figured out the cause
all of the posts contained URLs like <domain>/snitch/<incremented integer>, all of them linking back to the WordPress post i had just made – there must be hundreds of these posts on Mastadon
i couldn’t immediately find the reference, but i thought i had read that Snitch uses ‘pages’ to store data – this is something i was concerned with and now that concern has surfaced in a big way
i’m using ClassicPress which is essentially the same as WordPress 4.9 (no ‘block’ editor) and Snitch 1.1.8
]]>Hi,
I have an interesting discovery. A plugin I am attempting to traffic sniff (for fun and educational purposes) is not showing up in the traffic logs from Snitch. The plugin has an API key that it needs to register against an external server, and I’d like to log these HTTP requests. But they don’t show up in the snitch logs.
Any help appreciated.
]]>A really great tool…. but unfortunatelly the logs can grow quickly. Deactivating the plugin isn’t good because a) WordPress is telling me to de-activate inactive plugins d to securrity reasons and b) I miss the latest logs.
Best solution would be the possibility to define a max number of log entries. Older entries will be deleted automatically.
]]>After a decent amount of research and testing, I would like to share a method that will allow you to block unwanted outgoing HTTP requests for either single or multiple URLs.
As most of you know, outgoing HTTP requests are implemented by WordPress, Themes, and Plugins to perform many functions. Most of them relate to checking your website to determine if any updates are needed. Others, simply check your website for license validation or to simply perform miscellaneous theme or plugin tests which, quite frankly, can slow down your website.
To help minimize these effects (i.e., slowing down your website), follow the method provided below.
Method:
(1) Install and activate Snitch.
(2) Using Snitch, determine which URL(s) are making outgoing HTTP requests and potentially slowing down your website.
(3) Add the snippet provided below to your functions.php file – or – install and activate the plugin “Code Snippets.” I personally recommend this plugin over adding the code to your functions.php file.
Code:
add_filter( 'pre_http_request',
function ( $bFalse, $aReqParams, $sUrl ) {
if ( strpos( $sUrl, '//DOMAINURL1/PATH1') ) {
$bFalse = null;
}
return $bFalse;
if ( strpos( $sUrl, '//DOMAINURL2/PATH2') ) {
$bFalse = null;
}
return $bFalse;
},
PHP_INT_MAX,
3
);Where DOMAINURL1/PATH1, DOMAINURL2/PATH2 are the URLs/paths obtained from Snitch. If you need to add more URLs, simply repeat the code that starts with “if …” and ends with “… return $bFalse;”
If you know how to simplify the above code, please let us know!
I implemented the above and our website loading time decreased by .2 – .9 seconds.
Cheers!
]]>would be a lot less entries to sift through if one could ignore requests either by host or file
]]>Crashed my installed plugins page! Uninstalled.. and everything then worked fine.
]]>Please include HTTP Request & response data in the reports of all http request..currently only POST Data is captured and can be seen if i am not wrong. This plugin does the same thing but don’t want 2 plugins for quiet same thing – https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/log-http-requests/
]]>Hi,
in the manual it says that there will be max. 200 items in the log, but in the backend of my blog I see 1.499 entries – is something going wrong?
Thanks in asdvance
Heike
Would you please provide a function for blocking outgoing connections.
Thank you
]]>Hello,
I fount there is “/:0” history record ? what does it mean?
thanks.

]]>Does it works with the more recent PHP 5.6.29 and WP 4.7.3 ?

]]>Hi,
Our security team has bypassed some domains to allow access externally. When we try to update a license for one of the plugins, we keep getting code “-1” when trying to access to that domain. Normally if access denied it will show 401. The security team is very sure that the domain is open. So, what does “-1” mean? Thank you.
]]>Hi, I have used this plugins and worked fine for a while, but now only shows me this message: “/:0” on file input, doesnt show any other parameter. Someone can explain me what does this means?
]]>Hi there,
same problem as described here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/habe-39000-eintrage-und-protokoll-geht-nicht-zu-leeren?replies=3
The the link to github (https://gist.github.com/sergejmueller/bdb9d4b07daa3f3f9c16 ) for cleaning the tables does not work…
What can I do?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Micha
Habe 4 mal die Minute!
https://api.www.ads-software.com/themes/update-check/1.1/ ist das normal?
Und jede Minute /wp-cron.php?
XML Plugin hab ich erstmal Deaktiviert da extrem viele eintr?ge nach google und Bing!
]]>Today is the first time I heard about this plugin. So I decided to install it and see if it helps do what it claimed to do.
After the plugin was installed and activated, I couldn’t do anything with my site. It keeps loading endlessly when I tried to view my site, and the plugin also couldn’t load. Then I checked my cPanel, true enough the CPU and Physical Memory Usage was near 100%.
I deactivated the plugin by renaming the folder in File Manager and everything is back to normal.
]]>Hi,
i have more than the 200 items in the database.
What can i do about this? Has the function “cleanup_items()” or the hook “snitch_cleanup_items” somewhere to be activated?
Best regards,
Harry
Hi there,
I think there’s an issue with wp4.3
All of a sudden the unblock option disappeard and the option list inside the protocol also became unreadable.
Is it just me?
]]>This is a very useful plugin. But overnight 1800 queries were logged by snitch, going through all of them takes time.
Is there a way to display all domains that were contacted?
Making easier to filter rogue requests.
Also how can we export the data?
]]>It would be very helpful to add a Not Authorized state and set it by default for all files and hosts then we would be able to filter only not authorized connections without the authorized or blocked states, making the listing more manageable and helping the web admin catch suspicious connections faster.
]]>I have monitored and blocked some outgoing url connections.
But when I create a new wordpress site witch file can copy from previous site (Snitch directory or DB table) to new wordpress site with installed Snitch for not repeating same process (monitoring and blocking) over again on new site?
I just installed the plugin, and it’s already giving me thousands (over 3K in five mins already) for the same reason (illegal string offset in snitch_cpt.class.php on lines 565 and 566). I can’t deactivate to try again. I tried blocking the file through the plugin, but the problem persists.
]]>It’s possible for some plugins bypass Snitch (if blocked) and call his author trough plugins updates ?
I do not want my IP to be in statistics of plugin developers.
Hallo,
habe das Plugin Snitch. Dort habe ich zuf?llig festgestellt das es 39000 Eintr?ge erstellt wurden. Komischerweise hatte das ein plugin Google Sitemap Generator im Minutentakt die Sitemap an google gesendet. Das konnte ich schnell beheben in dem ich es daktiviert habe. Warum es das gemacht hat ist ein anderes Problem.
Nun mein Hauptproblem. Meine Datenbank ist jetzt irgendwie zu gro?. In der wp_postmeta
sind 500 MB drin
und in der wp_post sind es 130 MB. Normal habe ich insgesamt um die 30 MB.
Als erstes habe ich versucht das Protokoll zu leeren. Danach war die Datenbank nicht mehr erreichbar. Dann wollte ich snitch deinstallieren. Datenbank und Seite komplett down. Wenn ich in phpmyadmin gehe komme ich gar nicht in die postmeta. Hat vielleicht irgendjemand einen Tipp für mich was ich da machen kann.
Kann ich die wp_postmeta einfach leeren. ist da was bestimmtes drin gespeichert? Oder kann man irgendwie mit Delete-Befehlen in der phpmyadmin was machen.
Finde das Plugin an sich sehr praktisch. Nur irgendwie muss ich erstmal alles clean bekommen.
danke und gru? Nicky
Hey Sergej,
I just installed your Plugin Snitch after my blog was hacked and clean again lately.
Due to this I also installed some other Security Plugin, Sucuri (free), your Antivirus and 2-step verification master.
Unfortunately, I experienced an issue with your plugin Snitch:
When I activated Snitch I had a view on the log and I saw those entries as mentioned in above post “How to delete 25.000 items” by Gernot and they were created like 100 of them per minute. Then I realized that certain areas of my admin-panel were not accessible (refer to server error after some minutes) and when I logged out / back in I wasn’t even able to logg in again!
I had to delete the Snitch plugin via ftp and now everything is back to normal.
I come back to the 2nd question raised by Gernot – why are there so many more or less empty log lines (blank target URL and “: /:0” Source file) created which causes my wordpress to freeze in the backend (Website was still usual accessible)?
I am not an expert in coding so I assume either that the plugin interacts with other security plug-ins or that my site is still hosting some kind of malware-code ??
Thanks for any feedback.
BR,
Andreas
the snitch security plugin causes tweets with the plugin social, everytime i get spam comments. I dont know if its a snitch problem or a problem with social-plugin. I notice the spam tweets, because i am fetching the tweets with fetch tweets plugin. the tweets are like https://domain.com/snitch/53503/
