Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for detecting malicious activity through the use of inert input parameters to a web service or web page. A service request is received from a client computing device via a service endpoint. A modification is detected to an expected parameter in the service request. The expected parameter is configured to be inert in effect with respect to the service when the expected parameter has not been modified. One or more actions are initiated in response to the modification.
