Low-volume .env Probes from Mixed ASNs

Observed 1/22/2026, 2:10:00 PM

Multiple single-hit requests targeting /.env and /config/.env across unrelated IP ranges. No follow-up behavior observed.

  • Requests were isolated, no path walking
  • User agents inconsistent and generic
  • Likely background scanner drift

Short Burst of Random Markdown Paths

Observed 1/22/2026, 9:42:00 AM

A brief spike of 404s against markdown-like content paths. Appears automated but poorly targeted.

  • Paths resemble scraped documentation indexes
  • No authentication attempts
  • Activity ceased within seconds

Bot UA Claiming curl, Behavior Inconsistent

Observed 1/21/2026, 11:18:00 PM

Client identifying as curl generated browser-like navigation patterns. No malicious indicators, but classification uncertain.

  • Accept headers inconsistent with curl defaults
  • Repeated asset requests
  • Left without error escalation

Noise is observational. Not everything here becomes a rule.
