Glossary
Macro
A macro is a series of commands or scripts designed to automate repetitive tasks for a user. For example, if there are repetitive tasks in Excel, these can be recorded as a macro and executed to handle the same tasks all at once through the macro execution. Macros not only perform automated tasks but can also automatically process user inputs, create documents automatically, and are used for various other purposes. While macros are highly useful tools for improving work efficiency, they can pose security threats if misused.
User
Refers to a user who has made a normal connection that is not deemed to be from a macro.
Block
Refers to blocking access to a managed target domain to prevent user connections.
Static Analysis
Static analysis involves analyzing a user's information statically to understand and respond quickly and effectively. It is especially useful for immediate responses to macros, allowing for proactive blocking.
Dynamic Analysis
Dynamic analysis refers to the process of analyzing users dynamically using their information. This analysis can identify abnormal behaviors and block them as macros. In MBuster, each access terminal to the site is managed by issuing a separate identifier, making dynamic analysis effective for blocking and managing malicious traffic generated by macros.
CAPTCHA
CAPTCHA uses logical human judgment through challenges involving a mixture of letters and numbers or identifying objects in pictures to determine the use of macros.
Header
A value requested by a user when accessing a website, containing client program information, cookie information, etc.
Browser Challenge
A method that detects certain actions performed by a user's browser when executing automated scripts to determine the use of macros.
URL

IP
A unique address used to distinguish the sender and receiver when communicating with a web server.
Actor
Refers to a person who logs into the administrator UI and performs certain actions.
Behavior Analysis
Analyzes the user's behavior patterns to determine if they are using a macro.
SHA256
A one-way encryption method that encrypts a string and makes it impossible to decrypt back to the original string.
SALT
SALT represents a random value. When storing passwords, a unique SALT value is generated for each user, and this SALT value is entered into the hash function along with the original password. Even if the same password is used, the hash results differ due to the different SALT values.
Modal
A modal refers to a small window or popup that appears on the screen to perform a specific task.
