Abstract:
A method and system for detection of security threats on network resources based on referrer indications are presented. A determination that a second request originated from a first network resource is performed based on second request information associated with a second request for a second network resource. In response to determining that the second request originated from the first network resource, a referrer indication that the first network resource is a referrer to the second network resource is logged. A third request for a third network resource is received. A determination that the third request is part of a cyber-attack on a second server is performed based at least in part on the referrer indication.
