💡 HTTP Header Analysis for Threat Detection
Examining HTTP headers beyond User-Agent reveals attack tools and automated scripts. Missing standard headers, unusual ordering, non-standard values, and inconsistencies with claimed client identity all serve as reliable detection signals.
💡 Cryptojacking Detection and Prevention
Cryptojacking hijacks computing resources to mine cryptocurrency without consent. Indicators include unusual CPU usage, specific network connections to mining pools, and JavaScript miners embedded in compromised websites. Server-side cryptojacking can persist undetected for months.
