Blue Team — Operational Summary
Traffic over the four-hour window registered 11,742 external requests from 1,137 unique IP addresses. The session analysis indicates zero likely-human or engaged sessions, with 2,854 identified as bot/crawler sessions. The majority of traffic consists of automated activity, with no discernible organic visitor flow. HTTP status codes show a high volume of successful requests (11,664 HTTP 200s) and a small number of error/redirect codes (404s: 11, 502s: 2). Specific exploit attempts were detected, including six requests targeting the `/wp-admin/install.php?step=1` endpoint from multiple IPs. Operator activity accounted for 374 requests originating from a single IP.

Purple Team — Pattern Analysis
The traffic volume and composition are consistent with high-volume automated scraping and bot activity, indicated by the 2,854 sessions and zero likely-human interactions. The presence of successful HTTP 200 responses confirms the site is functioning, while the numerous 404 errors and 502 errors suggest some level of server load or potential instability during the window. The critical signal is the six detected exploit attempts against the WordPress installation file. These attempts originate from IPs associated with known vulnerability testing patterns (e.g., 104.23.221.163) and internal/private address ranges (172.69.150.x). This pattern suggests external, automated reconnaissance or attempted exploitation targeting the CMS installation layer. While the overall volume is dominated by background noise, the focused, targeted nature of the attack attempts warrants continued observation of the specific attacking IP ranges for repeated activity.
