DNN Defender is a professional security module for the DNN Platform that detects webshells, backdoors, and other malicious code through a powerful multi-layered engine: precise rule-based analysis, offline AI/ML detection, an integrated detection-focused Web Application Firewall (WAF), and advanced static code analysis capable of uncovering heavily obfuscated patterns, dynamic execution, in-memory techniques, and archive-hidden payloads that often evade traditional scanners.
It also provides full-site scanning, real-time file integrity monitoring, secure quarantine with forensic details, and comprehensive audit logs — all running entirely on your server with complete privacy and no external data transmission.
This DNN security utility module is built to quickly address the needs of lockdown of the DNN /install/ folder and contents from locations that you may have limited access to as host or developer.
