WP-Scanner

This blog runs under WordPress as many other blogs on the Internet. WordPress is also known to not be very secure: lot of vulnerabilities have already been discovered and more will come!

On blogsecurity.net, a security tool is proposed to check your own blog: WP-Scanner. It’s like a Nessus scanner but “blog oriented”. I tested it on this blog and some useful information were detected, but no “big hole”, ouf!

Note that to avoid abuse, the targeted blog must have a “wp-scanner” plugin activated. Good idea!
