WPSniffer is a free and open-source command-line tool designed to scan for malware specifically targeting WordPress and other PHP-based websites. It operates by scanning files on the host system where it is installed, utilizing YARA-X along with rule packages from the community YARA Forge to identify potentially harmful code, including webshells. Users have the option to utilize predefined rules or create their own .yar/.yara files, and they can select from core, extended, or comprehensive rule sets while also having the capability to pin specific rule releases for consistent scanning results. This Python-based package scans designated paths, allows input from standard sources, supports various filtering options, and can be integrated into scheduled jobs or continuous integration workflows. To facilitate larger scans, features such as caching, file-size restrictions, and timeouts for individual files are incorporated. The results of the scans can be generated in easily understandable formats, including CSV or TSV, allowing users to select specific columns and even opt for email delivery of reports. WPSniffer is particularly valuable for administrators, developers, hosting providers, and security teams engaged in the investigation of compromised websites or in the routine examination of server files for malware presence. Importantly, all scans are performed locally, ensuring that files remain on the host system without being transmitted to any external services. Additionally, users can customize the scanning process to fit their unique needs, making it a flexible tool for maintaining site security.
