 * I have a client that has been hacked twice. I am not a security guru but I do
   follow basic WordPress security practices.
 * 2x .jar files are being placed in the public root and a link to them is being
   added to the index.php file.
 * I have 1 user with a strong password and have WP Better Security with most of
   the settings turned on.
 * Is there a easy way to discover what the vulnerability is? Is there way to lock
   down the files/directories then unlock when I need to edit?
