-
Every bouncer the CrowdSec team maintains, covering the iptables and nftables firewall bouncers that apply blocking decisions with privilege, and the remediation components for nginx and Cloudflare
Products and areas
-
Local configuration and credential handling on the host, including the files the agent and its bouncers read at startup
Products and areas
-
The agent in full: log acquisition across every supported source, the parsers and scenarios that turn attacker-influenced lines into decisions, and the buckets and profiles behind them
Products and areas
-
The AppSec component and its request handling end to end, from transfer encoding and HTTP version handling through to rule evaluation
Products and areas
-
The Central API client and the consumption of shared blocklist data published by other participants
Products and areas
-
The hub, and how the agent fetches, verifies and loads the parsers, scenarios and collections published there
Products and areas
-
The Local API in full, including authentication, the machine and bouncer registration flow, and the decision and alert endpoints
Products and areas
-
The policy covers the agent, the Local API, and the bouncers the CrowdSec team develops and maintains under the crowdsecurity organisation. Everything in that set is fair game; community-written bouncers sit outside it
Products and areas
No target matches. Try part of a host name, such as the company name.
Out of scope 4
Don't test these. A program can exclude a host another program covers; the program you report to decides.
-
Anything outside the crowdsecurity organisation, including third-party integrations that call the Local API
-
Community-written bouncers, which the scope statement excludes by name, since only those the CrowdSec team develops and maintains are covered
-
False positives and false negatives in a scenario, which are detection-tuning matters rather than defects in the code
-
The commercial console as a hosted service, as distinct from the agent and API code that talk to it
