Uses a compact behavior graph of URL transitions (edge weights decay over time) to flag rare traversals, shares MD5 hashes of stripped URLs across servers for collective hashing to confirm hits, and reports suspicious requests without leaking raw parameters. On small public servers the system detects about 30% of attack attempts with no false positives; limitations include session identification, filtering browser asset loads (favicon dot ico etc), low-traffic learning time, and changes to site structure.
