Suspicious connection requests can be detected by analyzing connection parameters at multiple levels of a network framework. For Internet-based requests, unexpected combinations and/or ordering of Layer 6 (TLS) and Layer 7 (HTTP) parameters, for example, can be indicative of suspicious activity with respect to the connection. The connection parameters for a request can be compared against a set of determined signatures and/or analyzed using a trained probability model to determine a probability that the connection is improper. A probability value can be calculated and compared against at least one probability threshold to determine whether the connection is suspicious enough to cause a specified action to occur. The signatures can be updated through an offline or dynamic online process, and the thresholds can vary among the various embodiments.
