The plugin will be loaded by wordpress before every other installed plugin and will execute some security checks upon incoming http requests and, when one of more requests turn on the system alarm, they will be blocked, the sentinel then will show a warning message to the user and send a notification email to the blog administrator with the whole attack details . This plugin is able to block those kind of attacks : * Cross Site Scriptings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting) * Remote File Inclusions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_File_Inclusion) * Local File Inclusions (http://up2share.net/3370227.pd) * SQL Injections (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_injection) * Cross Site Request Forgery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_request_forgery) WP-Sentinel will NOT check requests from the user logged in as administrator, so if you want to check the installation you have to log out first. == Installation == 1.

Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 4.
