Blue Team — Operational Summary
The traffic over the four-hour window consisted primarily of non-human activity. There were no observed sessions that met the criteria for likely-human or engaged sessions, with zero recorded. The bulk of traffic, 1009 sessions, is categorized as bot/crawler activity. The total external request volume was 9632 from 579 unique IP addresses. HTTP status codes show a high volume of successful requests (9571 HTTP 200 responses), but also specific error codes (7 HTTP 502, 15 HTTP 404). One specific IP, 38.175.170.87, generated 322 requests, which accounts for all identified operator activity.

Purple Team — Pattern Analysis
The traffic composition is overwhelmingly bot-driven (1009 sessions), with a low percentage of attributed human or engaged traffic. While the majority of requests do not appear to be direct attacks, seven specific attempts were observed targeting a known vulnerability vector: /wp-admin/install.php?step=1. These attempts originate from multiple distinct, non-affiliated IP addresses. This indicates external scanning or automated exploitation attempts directed at the infrastructure, despite the overall volume being typical of large-scale crawling. The observation of activity from high-volume IPs like 74.7.241.22 and the presence of specific exploit patterns suggest the infrastructure is actively being targeted, warranting review of server-side security logs for correlation with the detected attack fingerprints.
