Overview

WP Fingerprint adds an additional layer of security to your WordPress website, working to check your plugins for signs of hack or exploit. WP Fingerprint works by collecting checksums of your plugins and comparing it with the checksums collected by WP Fingerprint. If the plugin detects any abnormalities it will let you know so you can take immediate action.
This plugin transmits and stores checksums on WP Fingerprint servers(all hosted in EU and run by 34SP.com) & WordPress.org to work for details see https://wpfingerprint.com/how-it-works/ for the data we collect and store.

Really useful way to spot changes
by emdeedee·7 years ago

.. not just things that might have been changed maliciously, but also where someone may have made a well-intentioned(?) change to a plug-in and not documented it properly.

We have all had surprises when taking over from a previous admin, this is one additional tool that can help a little.
