## Description

This plugin will create and store hashes of content (eg. posts, pages, etc.) and
monitor these moving forwards in order to detect when changes occur. When changes
are made outside of the normal working process, such as a direct database update,
this will then be detected as the hash will get out of sync with the content.

Perfect for my needs, helps to detect unwanted changes to my website, which is a
strong indicator that a bad actor has managed to gain access and defaced my site
or added malicious content.
