Real incident reports captured by a production Sentry deployment
Examples
The reports in this section are real captures from a production Sentry deployment — a target deliberately exposed to the internet. Each page is a post-incident report: what attacked, how the pipeline detected it, which verdict was enforced, and what forensics confirmed afterwards. Attacker IPs are partially masked, exactly as published.
None of this is lab traffic: these are live worms, scanners and probes from the public internet, caught by the same heuristics, rule packs and body inspection that run in any Sentry deployment. Scores, timestamps, signal weights and metrics are reproduced exactly as captured.
The reports
| Report | Scenario | What it demonstrates |
|---|---|---|
| Mozi: RCE attempt | Mozi worm tries a NetGear router command injection (setup.cgi?todo=syscmd) | CmdInjection heuristic + inline edge block (403) + 24h blocklist ban (ip_state) + automatic incident + clean forensics |
| Mozi worm propagation | The same worm returns from a different infected host, download URL pointing at the attacker's own IP | Host-to-host worm propagation (C2 embedded in the payload), layered TCP + HTTP telemetry, identical detection across independent infections |
| Distributed MCP/SSE scanner | 25 IPs probe AI infrastructure (MCP/SSE), one probe per IP to dodge per-IP rate limits | bad_crawler rule pack (curated User-Agent dataset) on the reputation fast path: 25/25 scored 100, blocked and banned |
| RCE via upload form field | Command injection hidden inside a multipart form field's content | Request-body inspection (F10): multipart parser + upload_content heuristic, with zero body bytes persisted |

Mozi: RCE attempt
Mozi worm tries a NetGear router command injection against an internet-exposed target; 88/100 critical, blocked at the edge with 403, IP banned for 24h, zero execution
