// WP Security Scan is a set of tools for adding some basic #security  on your #WordPress  installation. It includes: 
– A series of tests like if you have the latest version, if you're not telling the world your version of WordPress, .htaccess protection, etc (see screenshot) 
– Information on your PHP/MySQL installation for debugging
– Permissions checks on your files
– Feature to backup your database 
– A password tool to select a hard to brake password

Get WP Security Scan at the WordPress.org plugin directory http://bit.ly/Xx6dPe

For getting .htaccess setup without messing directly with files, see the AskApache plugin http://bit.ly/YQLhFU (will have another post on it at later time). For more on WordPress security see my previous posts http://bit.ly/1262rDZ
