How ComboStrap protects from bad bot scanning

Undraw Through The Park

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
wp-content:plugins:wpdiscuz:themes:default:style-rtl.css
wp-admin
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

Sql Injection Scanning bans all path that contains sql statement

Example:

db:oracle:long_or_1_utl_inaddr.get_host_address_chr_33_chr_126_chr_33_chr_65_chr_66_chr_67_chr_49_chr_52_chr_53_chr_90_chr_81_chr_54_chr_50_chr_68_chr_87_chr_81_chr_65_chr_70_chr_80_chr_79_chr_73_chr_89_chr_67_chr_70_chr_68_chr_33_chr_126_chr_33
