ICYMI: Stanford study finds 5% of IP addresses send 55% of all web requests: Fewer than 0.2% of domains hold a unique IPv4 address, and 44% of client IPs carry two or more user agents. Frequency caps and fraud filters read that signal. https://ppc.land/stanford-study-finds-5-of-ip-addresses-send-55-of-all-web-requests/ #StanfordStudy #WebRequests #IPAddresses #DigitalMarketing #CyberSecurity

🔍🚀 In today's episode of "Captain Obvious Presents," we learn that web requests aren't measured in Hertz. Next up: discovering fire isn't for making ice cream. 🍦💡 Meanwhile, Mastodon's user base bravely battles modern tech by... enabling #JavaScript. 🙄🎉

Oh, look! Another breakthrough in the art of making your web requests as compliant as a golden retriever at a dog show. 🤖🐶 Remember to worship the holy #useragent, genuflect at the altar of the robot #policy, and maybe you'll earn a crumb of access! 🎉✨

Until recently, I'd always been under the impression that #cURL is "just" a #CLI tool for making #WebRequests, and therefore probably quite simple under the hood, with only a few (if any) very small #AttackSurfaces. Then I started following some #infosec / #cybersecurity researchers, and all of a sudden, I started hearing about a new cURL #CVE, almost every week it seemed.

Two lessons learned:
1. Nothing is ever as simple as it seems.
2. Security researchers are unbelievably smart.
