What is bot detection, in 30 seconds? 🤖 It's how your site tells real visitors from automated ones before they can scrape your content, buy out your stock, or hammer your login page. CrowdSec's WAF Bot Detection does it with fingerprinting and proof of work, without getting in the way of real customers. Watch the quick explainer 👇 Set it up: docs.crowdsec.net/docs/appse… #WAF #botdetection #cybersecurity #opensource

CrowdSec saw the first requests matching CVE-2026-88771 on September 22, five days before Citrix published it with a fix (and before @watchtowrcyber shared details). It's a CVSS 9.5 flaw in NetScaler ADC and Gateway: no login, default configuration, root on the box. Our signal counts are low, but don't read that as low risk. Careful operators pick their targets first, and two of the addresses we saw went after this CVE and nothing else. Patching won't remove anyone already inside. The full story is in this week's Threat Alert 👉crowdsec.net/vulntracking-re… #cve #cve202688771 #threatalert #cybersecurity

5 years of data science at CrowdSec, told by Matthieu Mazzolini (Data Team Lead). How do we count our network? Why do we run honeypots, and why only 30? Why are there canaries in our blocklists? And why does the team call malicious IPs "pokemons"? 🙂 An honest look behind our IP reputation, and at what our code really shows, from one of the people who builds it.

CVSS, EPSS, and KEV tell you which vulnerabilities might get exploited. The Live Exploit Tracker shows you which ones are being exploited right now. It's built on live attacks seen across 250K+ machines in the CrowdSec network. With it, you can: - patch the CVEs that are actually being exploited first (it tracks 700+ of them, across 100+ vendors) - block the IPs exploiting them, with a feed updated several times an hour - plug that Blocklist into what you already run: your CDN, firewall, or cloud provider See it live → crowdsec.net/live-exploit-tr… #vulnerabilitymanagement #threatintelligence
