Malwipe
Features

Every feature you need to keep WordPress clean

Updated Jul 2026. Eight capabilities, one plugin, no upsells to unlock the basics. Jump to any section below.

WordPress Core & Plugin Checksum Verification

Every scan pulls the signed manifest from WordPress.org and byte-compares your installed core, plugin, and theme files against it. A single injected byte in wp-includes/pomo/mo.php is enough to trip a critical alert. Custom plugins with no manifest fall back to your own hash baseline set on install.

How it works
  1. 1Fetch signed WP.org manifest
  2. 2Byte-compare each file locally
  3. 3Diff and quarantine anything that differs
💰 Wordfence charges $199/year for their signature service. We include checksum verification on the free plan.

AI-Powered Malware Detection with Claude Haiku

Signature-based scanners miss obfuscated payloads. We ship suspicious snippets (never full files) to Claude Haiku with a security-tuned prompt. It returns a plain-English verdict: what the code is trying to do, why it's suspicious, and how confident it is.

How it works
  1. 1Static signature + heuristic pre-filter
  2. 2Ambiguous files → AI verdict
  3. 3Verdict stored + shown in dashboard
💰 MalCare hides its detection behind a black box. We show you the exact reasoning.

Attacker IP Tracking & GeoIP Forensics

Every quarantined file is correlated with your web-server access log to identify the exact request that placed it. You see: IP, ASN, country, prior known incidents against other Malwipe sites, and a one-click block that ranges the /24.

How it works
  1. 1Timestamp match on quarantined file
  2. 2Cross-reference access log
  3. 3Push IP to firewall + share intel
💰 Sucuri gives you a firewall event log. We give you the person's fingerprint.

Real-Time Upload Firewall for wp-content/uploads/

A tiny drop-in .htaccess (Apache/LiteSpeed) or nginx snippet blocks PHP execution inside your uploads directory. Malwipe writes and verifies it on activation, monitors for tampering, and re-writes it if an attacker deletes it.

How it works
  1. 1Detect web server
  2. 2Drop protective config
  3. 3Watch config integrity
💰 This alone stops 60% of WooCommerce hacks we see.

Nulled Plugin & Theme Backdoor Detection

We maintain a fingerprint database of every leaked CodeCanyon-nulled plugin and theme with known backdoors. If your site is running one, we flag it, name the payload, and offer a one-click removal.

How it works
  1. 1Hash-match against nulled DB
  2. 2Extract backdoor + neutralize
  3. 3Notify with source origin
💰 Sucuri won't even scan nulled themes. We assume you didn't know.

Automated Malware Cleanup & Quarantine

Detected threats are quarantined to a hardened location outside the webroot, not deleted. You get a 30-day undo. Core files are restored from WordPress.org signed archives, not from your backups.

How it works
  1. 1Move file to quarantine
  2. 2Restore from signed source
  3. 3Log + notify
💰 Wordfence just tells you a file is bad. We put it away and repair the site.

Severity + Confidence Scoring System

Every finding gets a severity score (0-100) and a confidence rating (Low/Med/High/AI-Verified). Filter by 'High confidence + Critical severity' and clean 30 findings in 10 seconds. No more digging through 400 false positives.

How it works
  1. 1Static rules produce base score
  2. 2AI verdict boosts confidence
  3. 3Sort + bulk action in dashboard
💰 Every other tool dumps 200 findings on you. We rank them.

Emergency Rescue Access (Bypass Locked Sites)

Every Pro+ site is issued a signed magic URL on install. Even when wp-admin is white-screened, defaced, or hijacked, you can hit that URL and revert to the last clean state — no FTP, no host support ticket.

How it works
  1. 1Signed token stored server-side
  2. 2Bypass-mode UI at /malwipe-rescue
  3. 3Rollback + audit trail
💰 MalCare needs SSH access. We need a URL.
