The following is a partial introduction to the highly accurate malware detection mechanism in the [Free] WordPress: Malware Scanning & Security Plug-in [Malware and Virus Detection and Removal] released by WordPress Doctor.
Database of over 5000 malware (hacker tampering patterns)
We have received many requests for decontamination of malware and tampering on WordPress sites, and our specialized engineers research and compile databases of the latest hacker tampering programs obtained through our multiple dummy sites, etc., to prevent duplication of hackers’ tampering patterns using our unique technology, We have a database of the latest hackers’ tampering programs obtained through dummy sites and other means.
We detect hacker tampering first by pattern matching, then by regular expression matching, and finally by data matching in our database.
Definitive diagnosis with a probability of 1 in 100,000.
WordPress contains over 10,000 program files for sites with many plug-ins installed.
Pattern matching alone may pick up legitimate files, so it is not always possible to completely detect malware files.
WordPress Doctor collects and maintains data on the actual probability of tampering (malware) with all of the above patterns. By multiplying these data, we can determine with an accuracy of more than 1 in 100,000 whether or not the modification was actually caused by hacking.
In many cases, this is done by an automated algorithm, which speeds up the diagnosis to a few seconds.
The system considers many servers (computers) where plug-ins have been installed as a cluster, and focuses its inspection on only those patterns with high accuracy.
The more malware patterns there are, the longer it takes to detect them. Hackers’ tampering techniques evolve daily, and trends in how to avoid pattern matching are renewed every few months.
Blindly adding more and more detection patterns will gradually increase the time required for the plug-in to exhaustively search for and detect malware files, which is not sustainable.
The WordPress Doctor Malware Scanner solves this problem by prioritizing each detection pattern with its own algorithm.
Patterns that have not been detected for a long time or those with very low detection counts are given a lower priority and are automatically installed in clusters of sites that have multiple installations of our malware plug-ins.
If these low-priority patterns are detected again in a cluster, their priority is raised and they are distributed simultaneously to all sites that have installed the plug-ins, which increases their inspection priority and allows them to be detected immediately.
1 The latest malware pattern at the time our plug-in is installed on a site is available for free inspection and detection.
2 To continue automatic installation of the latest malware patterns, you need to become a paid subscriber to Malware Patterns.
