Skill UI

This skill analyzes network logs, including proxy access logs, DNS query logs, and netflow data, to detect unauthorized Software as a Service (SaaS) applications and cloud services (Shadow IT). It classifies domains against known catalogs, measures data exfiltration volumes, calculates risk scores, and generates comprehensive reports for security and compliance teams.

This capability provides advanced threat hunting by analyzing network telemetry (DNS, proxy, connection logs) to detect Command and Control (C2) beaconing patterns. It uses statistical analysis, frequency detection, and jitter analysis to identify compromised endpoints communicating with adversary infrastructure, crucial for proactive threat detection and incident response.

Utilize Bright Data's Scraping Browser with Playwright or Puppeteer to reliably scrape structured data from JavaScript-rendered pages, Single Page Applications (SPAs), and anti-bot-protected sites. This tool manages proxy routing, CAPTCHA solving, and fingerprint management, ensuring robust data collection from complex web environments.

This skill provides comprehensive methods and code examples for optimizing spending on Bright Data services. It covers product selection (Proxy vs. API), implementing caching strategies, bulk usage monitoring, and setting budget alerts, ensuring cost efficiency in large-scale web scraping projects.

This comprehensive guide demonstrates how to scrape live webpages using Bright Data's Web Unlocker proxy. It details how to bypass advanced anti-scraping mechanisms, such as CAPTCHAs and fingerprinting, automatically. Users are provided with full code examples in both Node.js and Python, showing methods for scraping via the proxy endpoint and through the dedicated REST API. Ideal for starting new scraping projects or integrating Bright Data into existing workflows.

This guide provides production-ready patterns for integrating with Bright Data proxy services. It covers critical aspects like setting up a proxy client, implementing robust retry logic for transient errors (e.g., 502, 503), managing sticky sessions for consistent IPs, and parsing complex HTML responses. Essential for building reliable, high-scale web scrapers using TypeScript and Python.
