## Description

MJP Security Tools is a focused hardening plugin that does four things well:

 * **XSS Database Scanner** — scans every table for `<script>`, `<iframe>`, `onclick`,`
   javascript:` and other injection patterns
 * **POST Request Log** — records all POST data (passwords masked) with IP, user
   agent, and URL for CSRF/audit detection
 * **Failed Login Log** — tracks every failed login attempt with username, IP, and
   timestamp
 * **File Permission Checker** — verifies WordPress root files and directories have
   safe permissions, checks for missing `index.html` files and SVN working copies

**What this plugin does NOT do** (because WordPress core already handles it):

 * SSL enforcement — use `FORCE_SSL_ADMIN` or let WordPress 5.7+ auto-redirect
 * Password strength — WordPress core enforces strong passwords since 4.3
 * Login rate limiting — use a dedicated plugin like Limit Login Attempts Reloaded
 * Version number hiding — marginal benefit, not worth the complexity

**Upgrading from v1.x:**

 * The admin page has moved from jQuery UI tabs to native WordPress nav tabs
 * SSL forcing, password enforcement, login throttling, version hiding, admin username
   changing, database prefix randomization, password reset, and .htaccess generation
   have been removed — WordPress core and dedicated security plugins handle these
   better
 * PHP sessions replaced with WP transients for flash messages
 * Log data is now stored as JSON instead of serialized PHP
 * The Javacrypt client-side crypt(3) script has been removed

## Installation

 1. Upload the `mjp-security-plugin` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate through the Plugins menu
 3. Go to Tools > MJP Security Tools

## FAQ

### What happened to all the other features?

WordPress 6.x handles SSL, password strength, and many security basics natively.
Rather than duplicating core functionality, v2.0.0 focuses on the four features 
that WordPress does NOT provide out of the box: XSS scanning, POST logging, failed
login logging, and file permission checking.

### Is this a replacement for Wordfence/iThemes?

No — those are comprehensive security suites. MJP Security Tools is a lightweight
auditing companion that provides specific database scanning and logging features.
