Syspeace WordPress Reporter – Brute force protection detector for WordPress by Syspeace

What is the Syspeace WordPress Reporter?

Syspeace WordPress Reporter is used to collect relevant login data from your WordPress pages
login functionality. The collected data is sent to the Syspeace Web Detector which provides
Syspeace with login attempt information. This means that for the WordPress Reporter to work you
must have the Web Detector installed in Syspeace.

To prevent other websites running on the same server from sending login reports a Reporting Token is used in the Web Detector Reporter. A reporting token is a password-like feature that is set in Syspeace settings and that value needs to correspond with the reporting token sent by the Web Detector Reporter. Unless they match, the login report is ignored in Syspeace.
