Stopping a Russian Wordpress Hacker LIVE
We recently had a Wordpress site with an active brute force hack attempt on it, and somehow I managed to think about recording what I was doing so I could show you all how this is done.
In this video I'll walk you through EXACTLY what I did to shut it down, in real time:
Identifying the hacker source
Using the hacker IP address to block their progress
Utilising Cloudflare WAF security rules to help prevent further issues
I'll walk you through exactly what I am doing, as I go through looking the server stats to see what symptoms we see, the website logs and what I am looking for, then the steps I take to block the hacker at Cloudflare, and then other preventative measures we can put in place to help block this in the future.
We do not use a paid Cloudflare account to do this.
This Russian located hacker was fairly simple, and low tech, so it was a quick and easy one to shut down. Luckily!
