Abstract
Methods and systems for neutralizing malicious locators. Threat actors may shut down their web pages or applications (i.e., resources) that serve malicious content upon receiving request(s) configured to be perceived by the resource as non-browser requests. Therefore, initiating (large-scale) non-browser requests, or requests that are at least perceived as non-browser requests, may effectively act to inhibit, or even nullify, intended attack vectors.
