It combines behavioral telemetry, TLS/HTTP2/ QUIC transport inspection (JA3, JA4), passive TCP/IP stack analysis, and asynchronous Proof-of-Work (PoW) verification. #### Features * Transparent protection against scrapers, credential stuffers, and inventory scalpers. * Multi-layered behavioral analysis (mouse, keystrokes, touch dynamics). * Cryptographic Proof-of-Work challenges (CPU and Memory bound) without third-party CAPTCHA cookies or trackers. * Prometheus-compatible metrics endpoint for monitoring and observability. * Dedicated Sandbox / Dry-Run mode with IP targeting for testing without blocking legitimate traffic. * Tailored security profiles for Frontend, Admin Area (wp-login), and REST API endpoints. * Real-time suspicion vector inspection via Server-Sent Events (SSE), REST telemetry, and DOM CustomEvents. ## Screenshots [[ [[ [[ [[ ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/anonympins-bot-mitigation-pow` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress. 3. Navigate to **Settings -> Anonympins Bot Mitigation** to review security profiles, threshold adjustments, and Prometheus metrics. ## FAQ ### Does this plugin require an external cloud service? No. All evaluations, challenges, and validations occur directly on your WordPress server and client browser. ### Is HTTPS required? HTTPS is strongly recommended. Under unencrypted HTTP, modern browsers disable the Web Cryptography API (`crypto.subtle`), which reduces challenge verification performance. ### How do I scrape the Prometheus metrics endpoint? Metrics can be accessed in standard Prometheus text exposition format via: 1. The REST API endpoint: `GET /wp-json/fingerprint/v1/metrics` (Requires `manage_options` permission or a custom authorization callback hooked into the `fingerprint_metrics_access` filter). 2. Direct path endpoint: `GET /metrics` (Evaluated in early execution lifecycle; filterable with `fingerprint_metrics_authorization`). 3. The admin dashboard: ** Settings -> Anonympins Bot Mitigation -> Prometheus Stream**. ### How can I monitor incoming request suspicion scores in real time? Under **Settings -> Anonympins Bot Mitigation -> Sandbox / Test Mode**, the plugin provides real-time observability interfaces for all challenged visitors across the website: 1. **Server-Sent Events (SSE)**: GET /wp-json/fingerprint/v1/sandbox/sse Streams timestamped telemetry objects containing `id`, `timestamp`, `ip`, `uri`, `action`,` suspicionScore`, and `suspicionVector` for every challenged visitor. 2. **REST Telemetry Polling**: GET /wp-json/fingerprint/v1/sandbox/telemetry Returns the latest list and evaluated challenge payloads across all visitors in JSON format. 3. **Client-side JavaScript event**: Every page emits a DOM `CustomEvent('fingerprint: suspicion')` and sets `window.__FINGERPRINT_VECTOR__` when Sandbox mode is active or when an administrator is authenticated. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Anonympins Bot Mitigation with Proof-of-Work” is open source software.
