InfrastructureHeuristic — capped burst2 checks
Mobile API Rate Limiting Scanner
Check API endpoints for proper rate limiting and abuse prevention on mobile-facing APIs.
How this scan works
- Sends a small, spaced burst (≤10 requests, 200ms apart) to detected /api/* routes
- Checks for a 429/Retry-After response or a sliding-window signal in response headers
- Flags a complete absence of any throttling signal after the burst
- Capped and backs off immediately on the first 429 — never sustained load
