Improved Transparent Proxy Handling and Enhanced Scraper Detection in BitNinja 3.13.2

The BitNinja 3.13.2 release brings key enhancements to SenseLog and WAF Pro, helping server operators achieve more reliable protection and tighter control. These refinements focus on improved proxy behavior and more accurate detection of suspicious activity patterns, especially from problematic scraper traffic.

BitNinja 3.13.2

SenseLog

Improved the CatchScrapersWith404 rule, enhancing how the system detects web scrapers based on 404 activities. This results in better protection against bots scanning for vulnerable endpoints, reducing false positives while maintaining detection accuracy.

WAF Pro

Resolved issues with signal handling and transparent proxy restarts in BitNinja WAF Pro. This improves reliability during service changes or system events, avoiding unnecessary downtime or interruptions.

BitNinja WAF Pro – 1.0.9

Increased proxy_buffer_size values in nginx.conf to improve performance when handling large server responses. This helps avoid “header too big” errors and supports better compatibility with various content-heavy configurations.

Disabled automatic service restarts after updates on Debian-based systems. This change prevents potential conflicts during package upgrade routines, giving sysadmins more control over update timing and management.
