About

combostrap will ban well-known path that bots are using to scan your server.

We enforce a shadow ban by performing a transparent redirect to the website home page.

For example, clicking on this well-known wordpress link wp-admin will send you to the home page (if you are not logged in).

It has the benefits:

  • to preserve the resources of your server.
  • to not telling explicitly to the attacker that they are banned.
  • to not trigger any web monitoring alert because of a too high redirection rate.

Scanning Banned

Wordpress

Wordpress Scanning bans all path that contains wp-.

Example: 

wp-json:api:flutter_woo:config_file

2020:wp-includes:wlwmanifest.xml
wp-content:start
wp-admin:css:start

Git

Git Scanning bans all path that starts with “git”

Example: 

git:objects:
git:refs:heads:stable
git:logs:refs:heads:main
git:logs:refs:heads:stable
git:hooks:pre-push.sample
git:hooks:pre-receive.sample

SQL Injection
