Some stats on #php2shell. In the 10 hours before it was publicly announced, across the @Cloudflare network we saw thousands of attempts to exploit it. That jumped to tens of thousands in the 45 minutes post announcement, hundreds of thousands within 2 hours, and millions now.
♛DowntownRob♛ retweeted
We had to invent a new form of WAF to mitigate this latest set of vulnerabilities. Now enabled by default for all customers for free.
The new capability that we built to help defend php2shell is live.
The @Cloudflare WAF now has full transaction detection that evaluates the request and the origin response together, and response rules block a match before it reaches the requester.
Example from the post: unauthenticated hit on /admin that comes back 200 text/html. Block it. Auth failures and redirects can then pass through untouched.

Cloudflare has deployed default web application firewall (WAF) protections for newly disclosed PHP vulnerabilities before public disclosure. The rules use request and response signals to stop exploit attempts and prevent exposed data from reaching attackers. cfl.re/488w8dc

a VPS simulator that roasts shared hosting? oh it's on. provisioning a fresh box, spinning up dev + staging sites, and wiring a control panel with restart, cache and firewall buttons. root access in a sec 🖥️
This is awesome!
your VPS is booted. name it, watch it provision, then run the panel: dev, staging + test sites, one-click service restarts, cache toggles that drop TTFB, fail2ban banning bots live, and a race vs shared hosting with noisy neighbors 📢 syndicated-dawn.space.fast/

In the last few days I got a burst of inspiration and decided to spend around ~12 hours vibing a game.
All of this powered by @SpacefastHQ, so it was super easy to ship: open-web-survivors.view.fast…
@photomatt might or might not make a cameo on the new boat. 🏴☠️

WordPress.org support inboxes are moving from HelpScout to a self-hosted FreeScout instance over the next few weeks. If you already have a HelpScout account, you will get access through your WordPress.org account, with no need to sign up. The full phase plan and timeline are in the post. wp.me/p2QFvb-aR4

Before and after on the @jetpack Stats card in wp-admin ⚡
One date range for the whole thing instead of four chart tabs and a 7-day list. Views and visitors as real numbers, not just bars. Modernized design, with subtle animation.
Still in review. Anything you'd change? 👀

You don't need to be a big company to do "real" projects. I run Anchor Hosting. All these are just side projects: minnadmin.com cove.run disembark.host commandcenter.run wpbeacon.io wpregistry.io security work and etc.

I built a small free module for #FreeScout. It fixes "Recent Orders" showing "No orders found" when a WooCommerce order email is Bcc'd to the support mailbox instead of being sent directly by the customer.
👇
New free @FreeScoutNews module: WooCommerce Customer Fix.
If you Bcc your #FreeScout mailbox on #WooCommerce order emails, the "Recent Orders" sidebar shows "No orders found." FreeScout assigns the customer from the From: address, your own shop, not the real
buyer.
