    I have installed your plugin earlier as we have had an issue of DOS recently!

    I have tried to run the scan twice, on the first run seemed to get stuck, so I killed the scan off, re-ran. It’s been running since 16:29 with the following details:-

    Hi there,

    I’m sorry you’re having issues. Can you confirm, are you using the latest version of the plugin 1.8.3?

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/sucuri-scanner/

    And you can check your servers communication over the API services by going to Settings -> API Service -> scroll down to the bottom, select all APIs and hit ‘Test API Calls’.

    Thanks,
    Eve

    Hi Eve
    I can’t find the API Services option?

    Is it within the WordFence, or WP Settings?

    We already have WP Security installed, could this be the problem?

    Regards

    Hi whateverbatch,

    WordFence and Sucuri are two different plugins. Its sounds like you might need to get some help from them?

    The latest version of the Sucuri plugin is 1.8.3 and can be downloaded here.

    https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/sucuri-scanner

    Let us know if you need some help it.

    Kind regards,
    Eve

    Hi Eve

    Apologies for the confusion?

    1 of our ‘blogs’ was hacked earlier in the year and defaced, I prevented over 1000 attempted logins after I cleaned the blog up! I installed WP Security to do this. I was looking to get the Securi one to stop Malware and Scan the site.

    I have installed Securi now and going through the ‘Core integrity Settings’

    2 of my files were modified in February.

    Modified ~34.51K February 20, 2017 3:24 pm wp-admin/includes/class-wp-upgrader.php
    Modified ~1.57K February 10, 2017 11:30 am wp-blog-header.php

    I have looked at the first file, and it looks all normal as far as I can see, but I can’t find the 2nd one, what directory is it in?

    When I run Securi is it best if I deactivate WP Security?

    regards Batch

    According to the information that you provided, the first file is in the “/wp-admin/includes/” directory and the second one is at the root of your website.

    However, you mentioned that the files were modified in February, if you can’t find the file(s) is probably because they were deleted, although the “Core Integrity” tool runs in real-time so the information that you are seeing is from the files that are currently in your website, if the tool is reporting that those two files were modified is because they exist in the directories mentioned above, otherwise the plugin would mark them as “deleted”.

    If after inspecting the files you notice that they have no apparent modifications, you can select them in the table and execute the action “Restore File”, this will force the plugin to download a fresh copy of those files from the WordPress repository and replace them in your website. They are marked as “modified” because their checksum is different than the ones provided by WordPress, any minor modification (like the addition of a new line or the deletion of a single space) can trigger the warning.

    I am marking this ticket as resolved, feel free to re-open if you need more information.
