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.
