=== Plugin Name === Contributors: atmosphear Tags: spam, fail2ban, headers Requires at least: 4.0.0 Tested up to: 4.4.2 Stable tag: 1.0 License: Public domain Send an "HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden" header on a failed login instead of the default "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" == Description == Send an "HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden" header on a failed login instead of "HTTP/1.1 200 OK", which is the WordPress default header on failed login. This is a tremendously simple plugin that does only that and absolutely nothing else. The purpose of this plugin is to provide a way to allow external tools like fail2ban to get a message of a failed login e.g. to prevent a brute-force attack on a firewall level. For the public domain. Uses PHP5.3 anonymous functions and will not work on earlier versions of PHP
