Security Intelligence
💡 User-Agent Analysis Techniques
Analyzing User-Agent strings reveals automated tools masquerading as legitimate browsers. Inconsistencies between claimed browser capabilities and actual behavior, impossible version combinations, and known scanner signatures help identify malicious clients.
💡 Residential Proxy Networks
Residential proxies route traffic through real home internet connections, making malicious traffic appear to come from legitimate users. Some networks install proxy software bundled with free applications, unknowingly conscripting millions of devices.
