Injection Guard is a WordPress plugin designed to block malicious query string attacks
and suspicious URL parameters. It logs all incoming attempts, blocks harmful parameters,
and adds extra security intelligence to your WordPress admin—like user session tracking
and capability audit.

The plugin uses the `ig_` prefix for database keys and functions, follows WordPress
coding standards, and supports multiple languages. It’s compatible with pretty permalinks
and helps in securing your site from automated bots and manual attacks.

 2. Upload the folder to `/wp-content/plugins/injection-guard/`

Injection Guard with Wordfence allows me to sleep and not worry. Don’t even have
to check all of the reported links. Along with articles about security in wp-config
this beginner is extremely satisfied with the Injection Guard plugin.
