Installing on Magento2:

1. Install using composer

From command line:

composer require msp/shield
php bin/magento setup:upgrade

2. Enable and configure from your Magento backend config

NOTE: Enabling this module for backend can trigger false positives, we strongly suggest to keep it enabled only for
frontend and to protect your backend with https://github.com/magespecialist/m2-MSP_AdminRestriction module .

How to test it

MSP Shield can detect a wide number of PHP attack patterns and attack attempts.

You can test it in any Magento 2 form by typing a malicious request.



For example you can try typing ; drop database magento in any form.



This will simulate a SQL injection attack. Magento is already protected against this kind of attack, but you can try it
to verify the correct configuration of MSP Shield.

If you correctly installed and configured MSP Shield, an emergency stop screen will appear.
