## বৰ্ণনা

Network monitor for WordPress with connection overview for controlling and regulating
data traffic from your site.

### Trust, But Verify

_Snitch_ monitors and logs the outgoing data stream of your WordPress site. It records
every outbound connection from WordPress and provides a log table for administrators.

_Snitch_ does not only log connection requests, but enables you to block future 
requests either by target URL (internet address being called in the background),
or by script (file being executed to open up a connection). Once blocked, a connection
will be visually highlighted. Blocked entries can be unblocked with a simple click.

_Snitch_ is a perfect tool to “listen in” on outbound communication. It is also 
suitable to early recognize any malware and tracking software installed. You can
youse _Snitch_ to make sure you comply with GDPR.

### Summary

_Snitch_ writes a log of both authorized and blocked attempts of connectivity. An
overall view provides transparency and lets you control outgoing connections initialized
by plugins, themes, or WordPress.

### In A Nutshell

 * show POST variables with a simple click
 * block/unblock connections by domain/file
 * monitors communication in back-end and front-end
 * delete all entries by pressing a button
 * free of charge, no advertising

## সঘনাই উত্থাপিত প্ৰশ্ন

### Snitch creates a lot of database entries

_Snitch_ is designed to log any outgoing connection in WordPress. If the database
fills fast, you should look up the cause. Why does your WordPress and plugins communicate
so often to the outside that the database table fills? Is this communication really
necessary?

As a reminder: _Snitch_ is designed to help you improve your WordPress performance
by detecting and displaying connections as bottleneck. The task for the blog administrator
is to eliminate the source of the cause (plugin, theme, etc.).

_Snitch_ automatically ensures that there are not more than 200 entries are kept
in the database. If it is nevertheless necessary to remove _Snitch_ entries from
the database manually, two smart database commands could help:

    ```
    sql
    DELETE FROM wp_postmeta` WHERE `post_id` IN ( SELECT `ID` FROM `wp_posts` WHERE `post_type` = 'snitch' )
    ```

DELETE FROM `wp_posts` WHERE `post_type` = ‘snitch’
 `

### Are connections monitored in the front end?

_Snitch_ catches any connection that leaves the blog via [WordPress HTTP API](https://codex.wordpress.org/HTTP_API)(
internal WordPress interface for data communication). This affects both the back-
end and the front-end of a WordPress installation.

### Why does Snitch list WordPress cronjobs?

WordPress calls internal Cronjobs via [WordPress HTTP API](https://codex.wordpress.org/HTTP_API)–
exactly this interface is monitored by _Snitch_ and also records Cronjob accesses
accordingly.

If cronjobs are listed too often, something possibly isn’t correct. Therefore, it
is recommend to check the list of scheduled cronjob jobs.

The following code snippet in the WordPress configuration file `wp-config.php` switches
off the logging of the internal WordPress queries:

    ```
    php
    define('SNITCH_IGNORE_INTERNAL_REQUESTS', true);
    ```

### Why are Snitch entries indexed by Google?

_Snitch_ stores its entries as [WordPress Custom Post Types](https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types).
Important step: By a WordPress attribute Snitch marks all log entries as private,
therefore not public. So far, the ideology with private and inaccessible entries
would work if there were not WordPress plugins that would carry all – including 
private – Custom Post Types into the world and communicate with search engines. 
With fatal consequences for the blogger.

And so it quickly happens that Google suddenly hits _Snitch_ entries (as blog pages)
which are not intended for public access. For example, because _Snitch_ entries 
appear in the sitemap XML of the blog, as a sitemap XML plugin is of the opinion
that it is also necessary to add private entries and to have them released for indexing.
There is also no help to block via `robots.txt` because the `robots.txt` file does
not prevent the indexing of the pages.

### Automatic Shares go crazily

The fact that every new _Snitch_ entry automatically sends a message to Facebook
and/or Twitter, is clearly not due to _Snitch_. Rather, the cause is to be found
in the inserted Auto-Tweet-Facebook-Plugin, which faulty triggers an automatic event
at every – also non-public – [WordPress Custom Post Type](https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types).
And that’s wrong. The usage of such Plugins should be reconsidered.

A complete documentation is available on the [Snitch website](https://snitch.pluginkollektiv.org/documentation/).

### Where do I report security bugs found in this plugin?

Please report security bugs found in the source code of the Snitch plugin through
the [Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program](https://patchstack.com/database/vdp/a690b1e7-428e-4bc5-a01d-2353ebf45f7b).
The Patchstack team will assist you with verification, CVE assignment, and notify

Earlier i had to manually monitor the QueryMonitor’s HTTP API Calls area to find
all the callbacks. Now with this great plugin i don’t have to do it manually as 
the “SNITCH” plugin does the monitoring for me — what a great help. Thanks for this
great plugin. Please ignore those who rate it anything other than 5 stars. For me
this plugin goes on each WordPress stack — a-must-have 5 STAR plugin! God bless.
Cheers.

Das Plugin hat wiederholt meine Site zum erliegen gebracht: ein paar Minuten nach
der Aktivierung hat die eingebaute Fehlererkennung von WP eine eMail geschickt: „
In diesem Fall hat WordPress einen Fehler in einem deiner Plugins, Snitch, abgefangen“.
Das Log von Snitch war dabei nicht hilfreich: da fand der Fehler keine Erwähnung.

This plugin isn’t for everyone. It should be, but it not. Such is life. For me, 
this is a critical tool that I have relied on since I found it a couple of years
ago. It lets me identify plugins that phone home (or elsewhere) without permission,
without needing to examine every line of code in the plugin (and those can be huge).
It lets me make better decisions with regards to which plugins to support. It lets
me report plugins when necessary – and encourage public accountability by leaving
1-star reviews for plugins who do act without permission. And if it is not possible
to replace those plugins with others with similar functionality, it lets me block
the calls to domains, or calls made by specific files. This plugin really deserves
my first five star review. 😉

I needed to block a useless (and stupid) HTTP API CALL from a specific URL, this
plugin worked like a charm.
