WebDecoy Bot Detection

WordPress Version PHP Version License CI

Zero-configuration bot protection for WordPress. Works immediately on activation with no account, no API key, and no external dependencies. Multi-layer detection uses invisible proof-of-work challenges so legitimate visitors are never interrupted.

Features

  • Zero friction -- Humans never see CAPTCHAs or challenges
  • Zero configuration -- Install, activate, done
  • Multi-layer detection -- Server-side analysis, client-side fingerprinting, and proof-of-work challenges
  • Good bot verification -- Reverse DNS verification for Googlebot, Bingbot, and other legitimate crawlers
  • MITRE ATT&CK path analysis -- Detects admin probing and config file access attempts
  • Rate limiting -- Automatic blocking with configurable thresholds
  • IP blocking -- Individual and CIDR ranges, IPv4/IPv6, with optional expiration
  • WooCommerce integration -- Checkout protection against carding attacks
  • Dashboard & statistics -- Detection trends, threat breakdown, and recent activity
