If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar. Understand more

Assess ?

Attacks on web properties using bots are becoming more sophisticated. Identifying these bad actors and their behaviors is the goal of the Repsheet project. It's a plugin for either Apache or NGINX that records user activity, fingerprints actors using predefined and user-defined rules, and then allows action to be taken, including the ability to block offensive actors. It includes a utility that visualizes current actors; this puts the ability to manage bot-based threats in the hands of team members, increasing security awareness for teams. We like this since it's a good example of a simple tool solving a very real but often invisible problem—bot-based attacks.
