Recorded 259 attack-shaped requests across 1 separate day.

Its traffic requested a .env file, hoping to find API keys or database credentials (130 requests); it also used a directory-traversal segment (literal or percent-encoded ../) in the request path to try to escape the web root (39); 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 (19).

Seen by our edge and web sensors, against zmey.eu.
