Abuse Detection Processors
A library of HTTP processors that implement specific abuse detection points in application code. Detection points identify abusive users who are trying to establish attack vectors such as cross-site request forgery. Some examples of processors include:
- Abuse Detection
- Authentication Abuse Detection
-
Detects abuses against application authentication, including:
- Requests for directory configurations, passwords, and protected resources.
- Login attempts with invalid credentials
- Attempts to crack authentication
- Cookie Abuse Detection
- Detects attempts to manipulate the application by changing cookie values.
- Error Code Detection
- Detects suspicious application errors that indicate abuse, including illegal and unexpected response codes.
- Suspicious File Request Detection
- Detects when an attacker is attempting to request files with known suspicious extensions, prefixes, and tokens.
- Header Enforcement
- Enables the policing of HTTP headers from the application to ensure critical infrastructure information is not exposed. Response and request headers can be stripped, mixed, or filtered.
- Input Parameter Manipulation Detection
- Detects attempts to abuse form inputs and establish vectors for injection and cross-site scripting attacks.
- Link Traversal Detection
- Detects attempts to spider the application for links to hidden and confidential resources.
- Directory Traversal Protection
- Prevents attackers from finding hidden directories.
- Illegal Request Method Detection
- Detects attempts to abuse non-standard HTTP methods such as TRACE.
- Query Parameter Manipulation Detection
- Detects attempts to manipulate application behavior through query parameter abuse.
- Malicious Spider Detection
- Detects attempts to spider and index protected directories and resources.
- Cross Site Request Forgery
- Detects and prevents cross site request forgery attacks.
- Custom Authentication
- Allows companies to protect a page or portion of a site if a vulnerability is found.
- 3rd party Vulnerability Protection
- Detects Known Attacks
- IP List Export
- For Layer 3 Firewall Integration
- Abuse Recording
- Full HTTP Capture
- Captures and displays all HTTP traffic for security incidents.
- Abusive Behavior Analysis
- Abuse Profiles
- Maintains a profile of known application abusers and all of their malicious activity against the application.
- Tracking and Re-identification
- Enables application administrators to re-identify abusive users and apply persistent responses, over time and across sessions.
- Abuse Response
- Abuse Responses
-
Enables administrators to respond to application abuse with session-specific warnings, blocks, and additional checks. One-click automation of responses during configuration.
- Warn user: send a custom message
- Block connection and return arbitrary HTTP error
- CAPTCHA
- Connection throttling
- Logout and forced re-authentication
- Simulated broken application (Strip inputs)
- Policy Expressions
- Simple expression syntax for writing automated, application-wide responses.
Deployment
- Reverse Proxy with Load Balancing
- Available as software ISO, VMWare or AMI Image.
- Support for alternate ports (other than 80 & 443)
Updates
Automatically downloaded and available within the management console.
