About

AWS WAF Captcha is a feature of the AWS Web Application Firewall that helps protect web applications by requiring requests that match specific criteria to solve a captcha puzzle or silent challenge before proceeding.

It allows users to embed a JavaScript API in client-side applications, apply captcha or silent challenge actions based on rate-based, bot control, or custom inspection rules, and configure token immunity time.

Wordfence is a WordPress security plugin that provides a web application firewall and malware scanner to protect websites from hacking attempts, malicious traffic, and vulnerable code.

It features an endpoint firewall integrated directly with WordPress, malware detection for over 44,000 known variants, file integrity checks against the WordPress repository, brute force login protection with two-factor authentication, real-time traffic monitoring, and IP and country blocking.
