  • Identifying and circumventing security scanners
    Patent number: 11374959
    Abstract: A system and method for identifying and circumventing a security scanner includes monitoring incoming traffic to a web application, identifying a portion of the incoming traffic as security scanner traffic by comparing the incoming traffic to a security scanner traffic profile, and circumventing the security scanner by providing dummy content or signaling the web application to provide dummy content. The security scanner traffic profile is created by receiving web application traffic generated by a plurality of security scanners; identifying web application traffic features common to at least a portion of the plurality of security scanners by modelling using artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the like; and generating the security scanner traffic profile based on the identified web application traffic features.
