My suggested list of terminal commands for your brand new PocketCHIP. These do the following things:

• Reset your password.
• Give you root user access to update and install software.
• Update your PocketCHIP's core operating system.
• Make sure that your locale and time zone data is right.
• Install SSH and shut off WiFi power saving to prevent timeouts.
• Install Pocket Home (Marshmallow edition).
• Install rsync for easier file copying. (Optional)
• Install git to easily grab projects from GitHub. (Optional)

One of the ways that WP Engine determines what's a valid login attempt — and what's a script based brute force attack — is by requiring a query argument (of wpe-login) on all login attempts. The value must match the name of the install in order to be considered valid.

The install name is defined with PWP_NAME in wp-config.php on all WP Engine installs.

An example of a valid URL to submit your login query to is:

http://domain.com/wp-login.php?wpe-login=PWP_NAME

If you'd like to detect if you're on a WP Engine install, it's best if you check for the existence of the wpe_site function.

# Note: You won't have access to this command until you run `source ~/.bash_profile` or log back in!

# Call this from cron or run manually as needed.
function update() {
        echo "" ; echo "`date`: RUNNING: npm update"
        npm install npm -g # Update npm itself
        echo "`date`: FINISHED: npm update" ; echo "" ; echo "`date`: RUNNING: npm package updates"
        npm update -g # Update installed npm packages
        echo "`date`: FINISHED: npm package updates" ; echo "" ; echo "`date`: RUNNING: atom update"
        apm upgrade -c false # Update Atom packages & themes

Tests run on an HGV Vagrant using siege (3.0.5) with 25 concurrent users for 5 minutes.

• phpinfo() for PHP 5.5
• phpinfo() for PHP 7
