First seen on 2026-09-23T20:30:12Z, most recently active on 2026-09-29T11:21:05Z.
Recorded 215 attack-shaped requests across 4 separate days.
Its traffic requested a .env file, hoping to find API keys or database credentials; it also used a directory-traversal segment (literal or percent-encoded ../) in the request path to try to escape the web root; it also requested a common cloud/app secrets or credentials filename (AWS, GCP, Firebase, Kubernetes service-account token, SSH, master key) from a wordlist, hoping one was left in the webroot.
Seen from 2 of our sensors: edge, nl4-web.
Scored into the "Persistent" level, carrying the badges Regular, Toolkit.
