I developed a plugin that leverages Linux filesystem hardening controls to protect web applications from unauthorized file modifications and zero-day exploits. While these protections are typically reserved for system administrators, the plugin was designed to make them accessible to non-technical users such as editors and web development teams.

Features include:

• User empowerment: Provides a simple interface so non-technical staff can safely enable and manage protections without needing root-level expertise.

• Safe automation: Automatically applies immutability in common scenarios (updates, file uploads, and content changes) without manual intervention.

• Cross-platform support: Usable with popular CMS platforms such as WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla.

The goal of this project is to extend this Linux based hardening beyond administrators, giving teams the ability to proactively defend websites without depending on specialized technical oversight.
