💡 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.
💡 Threat Score Calculation Methods
Threat scoring combines multiple signals — request patterns, known signatures, IP reputation, geographic risk, and behavioral analysis — into a single actionable metric. Weighted scoring models allow tuning sensitivity to balance security with usability.
