About This Document

These response actions are part of the OWASP AppSensor project which advocates bringing intelligent intrusion detection inside the application. These responses can be used to counter a malicious user that has been detected probing for vulnerabilities or weaknesses within your application.

Overview

The following table lists possible AppSensor Responses (ASRs). The application response actions are categorized here by:

  • Silent: User(s) unaware of any application change
  • Passive: Process altered, but user(s) may still continue to process completion
  • Active: Functionality reduced or disabled

A text version of the table, with examples and alternative classifications, is described in AppSensor - Response Actions (64 KB PDF).

Detailed Listing

Classifications are:

  • Purposes: Logging, Notifying, Disrupting and Blocking
  • Target: One, Some or All users
  • Response duration: Instantaneous (e.g. just for the request), Period (e.g. time period or session duration), Permanent
