Great! Stop XML-RPC Attack plugin ads no tables to your Wordpress blog database.Do you get a lot of brute force attacks, DOS/DDOS and spam, targeting the XML-RPC interface in WordPress? You could just block xmlrpc.php access in your .htaccess file, but that will also cause much of Jetpack to stop functioning as expected. Jetpack is based off a two-way communication between your server and Automattic's servers, and that requires your xmlrpc.php to be accessible from Automattic's end.
This WordPress plugin will block access to xmlrpc.php from everywhere, except the JetPack/Automattic's subnets. On a regular basis, the plugin will poll ARIN and update your .htaccess to allow the subnets that belongs to AUTOM-93 (which is Automattic, Inc.).
