Bot detection and prevention for Elixir web applications

Paraxial.io is the best way to detect, measure, and block bad traffic to your Elixir or Phoenix application. Dealing with credential stuffing, scrapers, or attackers abusing an API endpoint? Let us take care of it.

What does Paraxial.io do?

Blocks account takeover attacks

You cannot control customers reusing passwords across sites. Attackers build up lists of email/password pairs, then attempt thousands of logins a minute with tools that bypass CAPTCHA. Paraxial.io detects and stops these attacks.

Block Data Center IP Addresses.

A rented cloud server is attempting thousands of logins on your website. With Paraxial.io, traffic from data center IP addresses is blocked automatically.

See the outliers, no matter what

Paraxial.io is installed on your backend, with support for Elixir, Plug, and Phoenix applications. There is no JavaScript to install. If a user or IP address is sending too many requests, you will see it.

Use Cases

Attacker Sending Email Spam

Web application that allows users to send emails being abused by attacker

Kateryna is responsible for an Elixir/Phoenix web application at a mid-size startup. Recently a bad guy learned how to abuse an API endpoint to send email spam. The implementation of reCAPTCHA was denied, due to the negative user experience. She uses Paraxial.io to automatically ban this attacker, without any disruption to normal users.

Credential Stuffing Attack

A botnet is used to attempt thousands of login requests per minute

Paul is a security engineer at a financial company. He notices a significant increase in login attempts, but the monitoring tool does not show where they are coming from. After pulling log data, and writing a custom SQL query, he sees 27 compromised user accounts and 89 IP addresses to manually ban. Now Paul uses Paraxial.io, and the next attack is blocked immediately.

Web Scrapers

An industry research firm notices scrapers rehosting their content

Devon is the CEO of a research firm, who notices a website is rehosting their content. After talking to Nancy, the CTO, they discover dozens of IP addresses scraping content daily. Most anti-scraping vendors don't support Elixir or Phoenix, but Nancy tells Devon about how Paraxial.io does. The same day their free trial starts, 39 IP addresses are banned for scraping their site.
