Why am I receiving HTTP requests from this machine?

These HTTP requests are part of an Internet-wide passkey authentication research study being conducted by Networks and Systems (NetSys) group at the University of Surrey, United Kingdom. This research involves making benign HTTP requests to every domain in the Tranco top sites ranking. By measuring the entire list of the most popular 1 million domains, we are able to study global trends in web security and passkey adoption.

We will never attempt to exploit security problems, guess passwords, or change device configurations. We only receive data that is publicly visible to anyone who visits your website.

Can I request that my website is excluded?

To have your host or network excluded from future scans conducted by us, please contact Prince Bhardwaj (p{dot}pawankumarsharma{at}surrey{dot}ac{dot}uk) and include the domain name you would like us to exclude.
