You can optionally publish the config file with:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="SeanHayes\Probe\ProbeServiceProvider" --tag="config"
```

Configuration

[](#configuration)

Change settings in config/probe.php

Add routes to handle certain common attack vectors or URIs added to watch\_uris in config/probe.php

```
Route::get('/wp-login.php', function () {
	\SeanHayes\Probe\Probe::logRequest();
});
Route::get('/{name}/wp-login.php', function () {
	\SeanHayes\Probe\Probe::logRequest();
});
Route::get('/wp-admin/', function () {
	\SeanHayes\Probe\Probe::logRequest();
