Hi Sir,
I have think about it, about the secure my admin login page.
I like to hide my login page for other people or hackers.I have search a lot for a plugin for hiding my Admin / wp-admin.php or wp-login.php
Nobody has the same hide function like Better Wp security.But there is one thing what i like and thats the hide function thats all but i don’t wanna use that plugin. Can you maby take a look please for that function and implement on BPS.
Answer:
Does you bank website try to hide their online login page? Does PayPal try to hide their login page?
Trying to hide things would probably stop a human from clicking around and finding your login page or wp-admin page/folder, but this is not an effective security measure against hacker Bots. 99% of all hacker recon, hacker scans and hacker attacks are automated and done with Bots (not a human). You cannot hide things from Bots because they do not look for things visually. They are given a set of parameters to search for; source code or other parameters and will find the login page and wp-admin page/folder just as quickly whether it is hidden it or not. Typically since 99% of all hacking is automated then when the Bot finds your login page (whether it is hidden or not) it automatically attempts to Brute Force Crack the login password. A human hacker will typically only get involved after your website has been successfully hacked. This is a numbers game for hackers. They probably attempt to automatically hack 1,000’s of websites in a day with Bots and would only visit your website after it has already been successfully hacked. For all the other websites where the hacking attempt was automatically blocked with security measures the hacker will never even visit those websites.
So since this type of hiding method is not really effective against hackers, hacker Bots and hacking attacks we would not add something like this to BPS.
