Business Logic Abuse - Response

Response

The response to business logic abuse can be quite challenging for two reasons. First, detecting business logic abuse is difficult. The perpetrators using the same functionality used by legitimate users and therefore, their traffic is likely intermingled with real traffic. This can make the identification of these types of exploits problematic.

Second, since the criminal is using a legitimate flow on a website or other application, disabling that flow would result in a very poor experience for the website’s users. Finding an approach where legitimate users can access the business flow while limiting access to the bad actor is an especially tricky endeavor.

Famous quotes containing the word response:

    What I’m saying is that a lot of behavior that you are talking about is a direct response of people not having a future, or feeling that they don’t have a future.
    William Julius Wilson (b. 1935)

    The truth is that literature, particularly fiction, is not the pure medium we sometimes assume it to be. Response to it is affected by things other than its own intrinsic quality; by a curiosity or lack of it about the people it deals with, their outlook, their way of life.
    Vance Palmer (1885–1959)

    Parents’ accepting attitudes can help children learn to be open and tolerant. Parents can explain unfamiliar behavior or physical handicaps and show children that the appropriate response to differences should be interest rather than revulsion.
    Dian G. Smith (20th century)
