Bot detection arrives in CrowdSec 1.8.0, along with two DoS fixes

CrowdSec released version 1.8.0 on August 31, 2026, introducing bot detection capabilities and addressing two denial of service (DoS) vulnerabilities. The platform analyzes logs and HTTP requests to identify malicious addresses and coordinates blocking through a remediation layer, while sharing threat intelligence through a community blocklist.

Why it matters: Security teams running CrowdSec should review the DoS fixes and evaluate whether bot detection features reduce false positives and improve detection accuracy in their deployments.
