OAT
Abbreviation for OWASP Automated Threats to Web Applications
In short and in plain language
OAT is a way to sort attacks that programs run on their own against websites.
It comes from a project about safe websites.
For example, a program tries lots of logins or voucher codes.
Each type of attack has a name and a label. This helps to make sense of odd things in a shop.
Definition
OAT is a classification by the OWASP project of automated attacks on web applications, for example the mass trying of credentials or voucher codes. Each threat type has a name and an identifier. This helps to classify anomalies in a shop.
