Attack Analysis

.env File Exposure Probe
This IP requested a .env file (or a variant like .env.local, .env.production) — files that commonly contain database credentials, API keys, and other secrets for a web application. No legitimate visitor ever requests this path; it is exclusively probed by attackers hunting for leaked configuration.
local blocklist
Credential & Secret-Store File Probe
This IP requested a dot-folder or file used by cloud CLIs, SSH, or AI coding tools to store credentials — AWS/GCP/Azure config, SSH private keys, .netrc, or a Claude/Codex/Cursor config folder. These never belong in a web root; a hit hands an attacker API keys or shell access outright. No legitimate visitor requests these paths.
Project & Infrastructure Config File Probe
This IP requested a root-level project or infrastructure file — docker-compose.yml, a Terraform state file, package.json, or a generic config/secrets.json — hunting for source code, deployment secrets, or infrastructure details accidentally left reachable over HTTP. No legitimate web visitor needs these.
Git Repository Exposure Probe
This IP requested the /.git/config file, attempting to access an accidentally exposed Git repository's configuration — often containing remote repository URLs, and sometimes credentials embedded in them. No legitimate client ever requests this path.
