How to Identify that Site is under Attack

Most of the new blogger on WordPress may not know that they are encountered with many cyber attacks on their site. WordPress provides lots of free plugin to protect your site from spam and attacks by unknown persons. But, still it is possible to any user to hack your WordPress Admin page and consequences, could be dangerous. I noticed the attacks using a simple and secured plugin by WordPress i.e. Wordfence Security.

Wordfence Security plugin provides many features to your Website Admin panel and protect it from unwanted intrusion. A user has to register himself/herself in order to get API key required to run the installed plugin. One can inbuilt features of Wordfence Security plugin like monitoring the Live traffic displayed with its IP Address, getting the Alerts on registered mail whenever there is critical problems or warning occur and many more.

So, I used the feature of this plugin only identify the attacks on my site and you can also block that suspicious IP. There are simple and easy steps which you have to follow in order to know about the attacks.

Steps:

1. Install the WordFence Security plugin and Activate it. After that, you will find the Wordfence dashboard on your WordPress Admin panel options (below "Settings" option).

2. Now, register yourself (use the mail ID which you use frequently) and get the API key to fully activate the Wordfence Security. It is available in both Free and Premium version, you can chose according to your need. This technique can be done in free version also.

3. Hover on the Wordfence and click on the last options named- options to open the different features which can be checked according to your need of a Website. Here, you will see the Alerts category. Check on Alerts options. Now, scroll down and see the Login Security options category.

4. Here, you will see the different Security options which unchecked by default. Check on Enable Security Option. This options will enable alerts on your registered mail, whenever there are attempts of many failure log-ins on your WordPress Admin Panel.

The Wordfence Security plugin automatically block that IP Address, if more than suggested attempts of login exceeds and report to you immediately. In Login Security options only, there is an option which allows you to chose for how many days that IP address should be remained blocked from getting access to your site.

Buzzer interface with 8051 microcontroller

Buzzer is a electronic device that converts the electronic signal into buzzing noise, that is applied to it. It can be used as electronic bell or as quiz buzzer in many applications around us. Here, i world like to discuss the interfacing of a small buzzer with 8051 microcontroller and how different projects can be constructed. Buzzer Interfacing: This project shows the interface with AT89S52 microcontroller to a buzzer. When a push button is pressed, the buzzer will get ON and OFF ( number of times set in the code ) and then stops. Circuit Diagram: - The port P1 of the microcontroller is connected to buzzer. This type of connection is possible, if the current requirements of the buzzer is not more than 20mA. The output is in current source mode so that buzzer will turn ON when the output of the port is logic LOW. Switch is connected to port P3 which remains at logic HIGH by pull up resistor. Code: #include "REG52.h" #define buz P1 sbit SW=P3^0; long i...

Comparison Chart Between 8051, 8052, 8031and 8751

8051 is a popular 8-bit microcontroller and has been used in many applications since Intel introduced it. Many 8051 architecture are produced by Triscend, Intel, Atmel, Philips, Infineon (Siemens), ISSI, and Max Corp. Today, 8051 microcontrollers may not be popular but, the 8051 architecture is still popular and employed in thousands of embedded applications. This 8-bit architecture has been different segments such as 8052, 8051, 8751 and 8031 . 8052 is the super-set of 8051 and 8031 is the memory-less microcontroller hence, it has interfaced with external ROM. Whereas, 8751 chip has only 4Kbytes of on chip UV-EPROM. Everyone knows about the general 40-pin microcontroller i.e. 8051 introduced by Intel in 1980s and consists of serial communication pins, Timer, Interrupts, RAM, ROM. It has 4 ports and each port has 8 pins, total 32 pins and other 8 pins for other purposes. 8052 is the super-set of 8051 that consists of 8K bytes of internal RAM (4K in 8051), 256 by...

Different ways to generate delays in 8051

The delay length in 8051 microcontroller depends on three factors: The crystal frequency the number of clock per machine the C compiler. The original 8051 used 1/12 of the crystal oscillator frequency as one machine cycle. In other words, each machine cycle is equal to 12 clocks period of the crystal frequency connected to X1-X2 pins of 8051. To speed up the 8051, many recent versions of the 8051 have reduced the number of clocks per machine cycle from 12 to four, or even one. The frequency for the timer is always 1/12th the frequency of the crystal attached to the 8051, regardless of the 8051 version. In other words, AT89C51, DS5000, and DS89C4x0 the duration of the time to execute an instruction varies, but they all use 1/12th of the crystal's oscillator frequency for the clock source. 8051 has two different ways to generate time delay using C programming, regardless of 8051 version. The first method is simply using Loop program function in which Delay() funct...
