Learn Linux, Web and WordPress Security With BitNinja

Perform a WordPress vulnerability scan using WPScan to enumerate plugins and versions, assess potential exploits, and understand how open ports and misconfigurations impact security.

Explains how a WordPress vulnerability can allow remote code execution, rewriting the wp-config and embedding a backdoor through crafted requests and backup scripts.

Explore how a backdoor is uploaded and accessed through a Python-based reverse shell, including practical steps to maintain interactive access and recover a compromised WordPress site.

Expose how unprotected WordPress contact forms can be abused to send spam, with a lab on plugins, email configuration, and Burp Suite interception and automation.

Register for a free trial, install the BitNinja agent with a simple bash script, and auto-protect your Linux server across multiple OSes, then monitor via the admin interface.

Learn how IP reputation works in BitNinja, using IP lists to separate user lists from global lists and apply greylisting. Explore blacklists, whitelists, and country blocking that control server traffic.

Discover how http captcha and a browser integrity check distinguish humans from bots, redirecting verified visitors to the original page and logging gray-listed IPs.

Explore how BitNinja's smtp captcha workflow filters false positives and automatic spam, using grey lists, IP blacklisting, and captcha-like verification to secure mail servers.

Ssl termination at the proxy decrypts client traffic, forwards to app firewall and capture modules, then re encrypts outbound traffic; manage certificates with apache, nginx, and lightspeed miners.

Combine the site’s public key, chain, and private key into a single pem file, then add the domain entries to the cert list and reload the SSL terminating module.

Set up one hundred port honeypots on your server to detect and capture traffic, emulate services like Telnet and FTP, reply as a real server, and log or blacklist attackers.

Explore web honeypots as a security technique to trap attackers, monitor posts to a honeypot page, and relay captured data to BitNinja's central server for analysis.

Explore how the BitNinja DoS detection and protection monitors active connections, blocks IPs after an 80-per-port threshold, and uses a grey list with captcha for retry after a minute.

Explore the log analysis module that scans server log files, detects attacks with specialized supervisors (Joomla, WordPress, brute force, directory traversal), and responds with automated actions while minimizing false positives.

Learn how a web application firewall protects web servers from injections and attacks by filtering traffic, seeing real client IPs, and tuning rule sets to minimize false positives.

See how log analysis with a web application firewall detects malicious activity and automatically greylists attacker IPs. Learn to test and configure rules by creating test files and domain patterns.

The malware detection module in BitNinja monitors file changes to detect and quarantine malware, integrates with a web honeypot to capture attacker IPs, and supports manual scans via the CLI.

Learn how the outbound WAF module analyzes real-time outgoing traffic, routes through a proxy, and flags suspicious connections for central analysis, with quick activation via admin panel or command line.

Test malware detection and outbound web application firewall by enabling quarantine, adjusting the config, configuring monitored paths, restarting the big ninja service, and verifying quarantined files and outbound blocks.

Learn to use blacklist and whitelist, including country-level blocks, to manage IP addresses and subnets, add or remove entries, and understand propagation delays affecting access.

Learn how the bitninja-cli interface manages blacklists and whitelists, controls and restarts individual modules, and enables honeypot setup for enhanced server security.

Find the source of a Linux server infection by tracing backdoor activity, inspecting infected files, and reviewing logs, then quarantine malware and blacklist the attacker.

Configure a local Exim mail server, enable verbose logging, and analyze headers to identify the script that generates spam; trace the sender ip and block it.

Detect outbound attacks by intercepting and logging outgoing packets with iptables, identify the offending user id, and trace requests via kernel logs and traffic analysis.

Learn a daily Linux server security routine with BitNinja, including inspecting login activity, quarantining infected files, tracing infection sources, and reviewing 24-hour network incidents to prevent further attacks.

Analyze attack trends from the dashboard to spot 24-hour spikes in IP reputation and malware detection, and review 30-day patterns and blacklist trends to strengthen server security.

Explore how content delivery networks optimize availability and performance, then learn to integrate cloudflare with bitninja for security, including firewall rules, IP whitelisting, and API key setup.

Identify a trouble-maker IP by verifying greylisted addresses affecting an rss parser, and use a BitNinja troubleshooting script to isolate and resolve the slow loads.
