If you installed WordPress on a subdirectory (www.yoursite.com/wordpress/) or subdomain (blog.yoursite.com/), add one of the three paths at the very end of your URL such as: www.yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-login.php or blog.yoursite.com/wp-login.php
Go through the exact same steps as above, and you should end up with a command that looks like this.sudo hydra -l admin -P /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt 10.10.10.43 https-post-form "/db/index.php:password=^PASS^&remember=yes&login=Log+In&proc_login=true:Incorrect password"

WordPress is the most popular CMS platform in the world and this makes it an irresistible magnet for hackers and malicious login attempts. Even the best of the best can be brought down by a stealthy maverick with access to brute-force tools that will automatically try to guess your username and password by hitting your WordPress login page over and over and over again.
Once a hacker knows that your site runs on WordPress, they also know how to find your WordPress login URL (spoiler alert: the default WordPress login URL is found by entering your domain name, followed by /wp-login.php).
If your site is not a membership site and login attempts are limited to a dozen or fewer admins, authors, editors, and contributors, then hiding your login page will help protect your site against malicious login attempts.
Ideally, we recommend just sticking to using a plugin if you want to change your WordPress login URL, hide the wp-admin wp-login.php pages, or redirect users away from the default login page. Messing with code can cause compatibility issues, slow down your site, and create other problems.
Unless you actually change the WordPress login URL of your site and redirect unwanted visitors away from pages like wp-login.php and wp-admin, hackers and bots will still be able to find your login page and attempt to guess your login details.
Messing with code can cause compatibility issues, slow down your site, and create other problems. Using a plugin like Defender is the easiest way to hide your WordPress login page from hackers and make it all but invisible to the vast majority of low-flying malicious login attempts.
In some instances, brute forcing a login page may result in an application locking out the user account. This could be the due to a lock out policy based on a certain number of bad login attempts etc.
Where a login requires a username and password, as above, an application might respond to a failed login attempt by indicating whether the reason for the failure was an unrecognized username or incorrect password.
Hello, I have edited my wp-login.php page, and I have tried adding it to my menu with custom link, so that unlogged users could access and log in there, but, whenever I add it it only becomes a visible option to already logged in users, and I would like to make it visible to all users (be logged in or not), how could I do that?
A user is presented with the login challenge when a suspicious login is detected, such as the user not following the sign-in patterns that they've shown in the past. A user is presented with a verify-it's-you challenge if they have a risky session when attempting a sensitive action.
I was looking for this kind of something and finally got this article. actually, I have installed Sucuri on WordPress website so when anyone tries to attempt to log in I get an email. So this plugin is very helpful to be safe from login attempt.
That is exactly what I did on 4 of my sites ConnieM. I set an .htpsswd on the login page through my .htaccess file. It worked for about 4-5 months and then I started getting attempted login notices again in my email from sucuri. The bad guys have managed to go right around it somehow which I cannot figure out. There is no way they could guess the username and password of the login so they must have found a loop. I would like to know how the hackers do this?
The COVID-19 pandemic is causing uncertainty in all aspects of our lives, including our finances. Fraudsters are capitalizing on the confusion by attempting to steal bank account numbers, login information, and other personal information.
A less common problem has to do with file permissions on your server. If you have the wrong file permissions for the wp-login.php file and wp-admin folder, that can make you unable to access the WordPress dashboard.
Yesterday, when I browsed to my admin login page, the page appears to be displaying the contents of the wp-login.php file. I cannot login. Only my wife and I have the administrator login credentials. SSH remote console root access is working.
On January 24th PHP released a bug fix version 8.1.2. I applied that update on Jan 26th. Our site was running WP 5.8.3 at that time. Version 5.9 of WP released on Jan 26. The PHP update broke wp-login.php causing all my problems. Discovering this information took me many more hours than it should have, troubleshooting software issues is NOT my day job. 2ff7e9595c
