Swarmchasing work

Check out my swarmchasing work! I’m responsible for the initial detection of agent activity aimed at circumventing anti-bot protections and exfiltrating data from amap.com, a chinese map service, and I collaborated with Rowan Howard-Jones, Ethan Elasky, and several other researchers on what we believe to be the first confirmed identification of a chinese agent fleet in the wild based on these findings.

If you haven’t already, take a look at the campaigns listed on the swarmchase site, and also take a look at Rowan’s site, which hosts a swarm map, or look at termina.digital for her blog!

Posts detailing the research are on swarmcha.se.

Crawlers

This site itself tracks and monitors bot activity to my own servers. Aggregated statistics on bot activity can be viewed at /bots/.

Use the arrow keys to navigate, or use your mouse. Clicking on ‘crawlers’ in the footer of a page will bring up associated bot statistics for that page. More controls are listed at the bottom of the page.
