Detecting remote application profiling

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and software can be used to detect remote application profiling. In some aspects, one computer-implemented method includes receiving, over a network, a request from a network client directed to a particular application executed by an application server; determining whether the received request deviates from a communications profile associated with the particular application; in response to determining that the received request deviates from the communications profile, identifying the network client as an attacker; and in response to identifying the network client as an attacker, performing a defensive response with respect to the network client.
