Please note: This roadmap is subject to change based on user feedback, development priorities, and evolving needs. It's intended to provide an overview of potential features and improvements for the Bait-User plugin.

This roadmap outlines the future development plans and potential features for the Bait-User WordPress Plugin. The goal is to continually improve the plugin's functionality, security, and user experience while keeping the feature set practical and user-focused.

Version 1.2.x | ✅ |

1. IP Whitelisting | ✅ |

  • Whitelist Specific IPs: Implement a feature that allows administrators to whitelist certain IP addresses, ensuring they are never blocked by the plugin, even if they attempt to log in with the bait user.

2. IP Range Blocking | ✅ |

  • Block IP Ranges: Add the ability to block entire IP ranges, providing more comprehensive security against threats originating from known problematic IP blocks.

Version 1.3.x

3. Logging and Reporting

  • Login Logs: Create a logging system that records all login attempts, including successful, failed, and blocked attempts, along with IP addresses, timestamps, and usernames. | ✅ |

4. Geolocation-Based Blocking

  • Country-Level Blocking: Integrate geolocation to block or allow access based on the country of origin of the IP address.
  • Region-Specific Rules: Implement custom rules that apply different security measures based on the user’s geographic region.

5. Simplified Admin Interface

  • Redesign Settings Page: Improve the design and layout of the settings page for a more user-friendly experience.
  • Contextual Help: Add tooltips and help sections directly within the settings page to assist users in configuring the plugin.

6. Advanced Customization Options

  • Hooks and Filters: Provide advanced users with hooks and filters to customize the plugin’s behavior to fit their unique security needs.
  • Customizable Alerts: Allow administrators to set custom alerts and actions based on specific security events, such as repeated login attempts from a single IP address.

7. Reporting and logging

  • Activity Logs: Create a logging system that records activities, along with IP addresses, timestamps, and usernames.
  • Export Logs - NOT A PRIORITY: Implement an option to export logs to CSV or JSON format for further analysis or integration with other security tools.

Version 1.5.x and Beyond (VERY LIKELY TO CHANGE)

8. Cloud Integration (Future Consideration)

  • Cloud-Based IP Blocking: Integrate with cloud security services to block known malicious IPs in real-time across multiple sites using the plugin.
  • Centralized Logging: Allow centralized logging and management of blocked IPs across multiple WordPress sites through a cloud service.

9. Basic Plugin Customization

  • Custom Block Page: Allow users to customize the message or page that blocked users see when their IP has been blocked.
  • Scheduled Blocking: Implement a feature to schedule IP blocking and unblocking at specific times or intervals.

10. Move .htaccess writing to seperate file

  • Extract IP Blocking Rules: Relocate the IP addresses currently being blocked in the .htaccess file to a dedicated configuration file, ensuring a cleaner and more manageable .htaccess structure.
