## Description

Foresight is designed to make it easier for administrators to
 keep track of security
vulnerabilities which exist within WordPress and Wordpress plugins. It does this
by loading a tabbed display of known exploits into the WordPress administrative 
backend. (It’s available under ‘Tools’ -> ‘Foresight’ in the admin side-bar.)

Using the plugin is simple: when you log in to perform your various
 administrative
tasks, take a moment to browse through the known exploits. If you see vulnerabilities
in that plugins you use, take the appropriate action. (What’s “appropriate” of course,
will vary based off of several factors, but may range from doing nothing to disabling
the vulnerable plugin.)

### Misc

Know that the ‘1337Day’ tab behaves slightly differently than the other
 tabs. Rather
than loading WordPress exploits by automatically, it will first require you to check
a checkbox promising not to use the exploits catalogued on the site for nefarious
purposes. From there, you’ll have to manually search for WordPress exploits by clicking
on the ‘search’ link.

## Installation

You may install this plugin as you would any other:

 1. Upload it to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

More detailed installation instructions may be found [here](https://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins).

## FAQ

  Why didn’t you include `$my_preferred exploit tracker`?

There are two possible reasons:

 1. I’m unaware of it.
 2. Your tracker is configured to disallow being loaded into an iframe.
     ([Packet Storm](http://packetstormsecurity.org/)
    is among this category.)

If you’d like to see another tracker added to this plugin,
 [let me know](https://wordpress.org/plugins/foresight/chris@chris-allen-lane.com?output_format=md).
If I agree that it should be added in, I’ll do so. If not, it should be pretty easy
to hack it in yourself. Open-source FTW!
