Check API endpoints for proper rate limiting and abuse prevention on mobile-facing APIs.
Overview
Mobile-facing APIs are frequently targeted by automated attacks because they are publicly accessible. Our scanner checks rate limiting implementation, authentication requirements, and response patterns that could enable abuse or data scraping.
What this scanner does
Tests API endpoints for rate limiting by sending rapid sequential requests. Checks response headers for rate limit indicators (X-RateLimit-*), analyzes authentication requirements, and identifies endpoints vulnerable to enumeration or scraping.
Why it matters
APIs without rate limiting are vulnerable to brute force attacks, credential stuffing, data scraping, and resource exhaustion. Mobile APIs are especially at risk because they are designed for programmatic access and attackers can easily reverse-engineer mobile apps.
