Traffic validation that minimizes the number of brute force attacks

[Jahangir147]

The best example to illustrate how the system works is with XML-RPC, a file in the root directory of every WordPress installation. Many hosting providers (WordPress) block its use because it is known to be insecure, and blocking it is the easiest way to avoid XML-RPC-related hacks. However, XML-RPC also has many legitimate use cases for communicating with external systems and software.

That's why we don't aim to shut down XML-RPC—we want to empower our customers with the tools and services they need to get the most out of their websites. Instead of blocking it, we've been looking for ways to strengthen its security and significantly reduce the potential for brute-force attacks. After our latest AI brute-force prevention upgrade, we now validate all traffic passing through XML-RPC to stop all recognized malicious visits and potentially reduce the total number of visits reaching customer sites via XML-RPC by 99%.

Less resource consumption, less carbon footprint
The impact of this upgrade on our AI brute force prevention system rcs data usa is enormous. Not only are we further minimizing the chances of our sites being breached and potentially hacked, but we're also significantly reducing the resource consumption (like CPU and RAM) generated by traffic from bots and brute force attempts. Lower resource consumption effectively means more resources available for your legitimate visitors and a smaller carbon footprint for your site.

Preventing brute force attacks is just one of the many ways we constantly protect the websites we host, with our intelligent web application firewall, DDoS protection, 24/7 server monitoring, and more. We believe security is one of the foundations of any successful website, and we're continually developing new prevention and mitigation solutions, improving existing ones, and adding new security features to our hosting, so you can rest assured knowing your website is in good hands and focus on what's important: your business.
