Analyzing API Gateway Access Logs

Instructions

Parse API gateway access logs to identify attack patterns including broken object level authorization (BOLA), excessive data exposure, and injection attempts.

import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_json("api_gateway_logs.json", lines=True)
# Detect BOLA: same user accessing many different resource IDs
bola = df.groupby(["user_id", "endpoint"]).agg(
    unique_ids=("resource_id", "nunique")).reset_index()
suspicious = bola[bola["unique_ids"] > 50]
