 ====== WordPress 'brute force attack protection built in to LSWS ======
-A ‘brute force’ login attack is a type of attack against a website to gain access to the site by guessing the username and password, over and over again. WordPress is the most popular CMS and therefore it’s a frequent target of these type of attacks. ''wp-login.php'' and ''xmlrpc.php'' pages are the most common target from brute force attack by POST method. WordPress doesn’t have any built in feature to prevent these types of attacks, hence you may need to find some third-party solutions.

 Starting with version 5.2.3 of LSWS, LSWS has a built-in WordPress brute force attack protection system. It will protect shared hosting WordPress environments from large-scale DDoS attacks, which may bring down entire servers.
