I’ve been working on a bot monitoring platform - hoping to launch soon.
Problem:
Up to 61.5 percent[1] of website visitors are bots, of which 30.5% are malicious. The presence of bots lead to content theft, malware injection, server hijacking, spam links and DDoS attacks. Website owners are often unaware of their existence and the extent of their effects.
Solution:
A platform to monitor and analyse bot traffic. We alert you to attacks, pinpoint affected pages and identify and analyse all bots. To retrieve traffic data we use pixel tracking & JavaScript tracking code. To detect bots we look for abnormalities in a series of traffic data such as HTTP header fingerprinting, JavaScript footprint, timestamps, IP reputation etc.
With the results from our platform you can better implement methods of prevention such as blocking IP addresses/user agents or go about including CAPTCHAS or similar where necessary.
If this is something you would be interested in I’d love to hear what you think :).
