Janric Simple Attack Monitor is a free WordPress security plugin from Janric Limited. It is meant to show WordPress site owners what is probing their sites by silently logging suspicious activity and keeping the results inside the WordPress dashboard.
The plugin starts watching as soon as it is activated and logs nine attack types automatically: brute force login attempts, XML-RPC abuse, user enumeration, admin area probing, path and plugin scanning, SQL injection attempts, cross-site scripting attempts, comment flooding, and REST API scraping. It presents a weekly summary in a dashboard widget as a bar chart, offers a full event log with day, week, month, and all-time views, shows the top attacking IP addresses, and includes a safe IP whitelist that accepts individual addresses and CIDR ranges. The tool is described as observation only: it does not block anything or change site functionality.
Delivery is through a WordPress plugin, and the page says it installs in under 60 seconds. It runs silently with zero impact on site speed, stores data in the site’s own database, and requires no account. Pricing is stated plainly as free, with no subscriptions, no monthly fees, and no upsells. The page also says it is built and maintained by a UK developer.
