Detects high-frequency network requests from a single process to potentially sensitive targets such as cloud metadata services (169.254.169.254, metadata.google.internal) or using URL traversal patterns (../, %2e%2e, %2f). This behavior is characteristic of Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attempts, where an attacker tries to access internal resources by forcing an application to make unauthorized requests.
