Omega Security Engine Pro — Documentation

Version 1.0.0 Omega Web Apps omegawebapps.com

Omega Security Engine Pro provides a clean, powerful security dashboard that allows you to configure firewall rules, malware scanning, brute‑force protection, file monitoring, and hardening — all from one place.

3. Setup Guide

3.1 Step 1 — Open the Security Dashboard

After activation, navigate to Omega Security in the WordPress admin sidebar. This is your main control panel for all security features.

3.2 Step 2 — Enable the Firewall

Go to the Core Settings tab and enable the PHP Firewall. This activates early‑load protection that blocks malicious requests before WordPress loads.

3.3 Step 3 — Configure Login Protection

Still in Core Settings, enable:

• Limit login attempts
• Set Max attempts (recommended: 5)
• Set Lockout minutes (recommended: 30)

This blocks abusive IPs automatically during brute‑force attacks.

3.4 Step 4 — Apply Hardening Rules

Go to the Hardening tab and enable:

• Disable XML‑RPC
• Restrict REST API to logged‑in users (optional)
• Disable user enumeration
• Disable theme & plugin editor

3.5 Step 5 — Run a File Integrity Scan

Go to the File Monitor tab and click Run Scan Now. This creates your first snapshot and detects any modified, added, or removed files.

3.6 Step 6 — Run a Malware Scan

Go to the Malware Scanner tab and click Run Malware Scan. The engine scans PHP files for suspicious patterns, obfuscation, and known malware signatures.

3.7 Step 7 — Review Logs

Go to the Security Logs tab to review:

• Firewall blocks
• Login attempts
• Suspicious requests
• User agents
• IP activity

3.8 Step 8 — Manage Blocked IPs

Go to the Blocked IPs tab to manually block or unblock IP addresses. Automatic blocks from the firewall and login guard also appear here.
