Plug Deflect

Date: 2026-05-16

A few web applications I managed were consistently showing invalid scanning traffic - like requests for wp-admin or etc files.

After addressing it this routing issue in a third project, I sought to DRY it up.

The result is a small, reusable Elixir Plug, https://github.com/afomi/plug_deflect.

Drop it in an Elixir Phoenix project to deflect invalid traffic. Paths can be customized as well.
