 * Hi, I would like information on this plugin. I would need to hide the plugins
   and the wordpress theme used for my site. Can this plugin not let third parties
   see the various plugins installed?

 * Hi, Thank you for your question. The plugin is changing all the plugins and themes
   names in the source code and all the WP common paths.
 * In the premium version you have the option to restrict access to the old paths
   and avoid any injection or attack to the vulnerable plugins.
 * Let me know if you need more details about the plugin.

 * thanks for the reply, I want to be sure that if someone wants to verify the name
   of the plugins used they cannot trace. So changing the name is enough to not 
   let you discover both the theme and the name of the plugins?

 * If a person looks over the source code for themes and plugin it may discover 
   some popular plugins (like woocommerce) and themes from the class names used 
   in the source code.
 * You can use the Text Mapping feature from HMWP to hide the class names but this
   may affect the functionality of that specific plugin.
 * What is important is to restrict the hacker bots access to vulnerable plugins.
   This part is possible only if the paths are changed before. This is what HMWP
   Ghost does. It also adds Brute Force protection and a firewall against the known
   attacks.
 * Hope my answer helps.
