bot detection

Bot detection is the process of identifying automated software programs, or bots, that interact with websites or online services. While some bots are helpful, like search engine crawlers, others can be malicious, such as those attempting to generate fake accounts, spam, or disrupt services. Detection methods analyze patterns like unusual activity rates, behavior inconsistencies, or technical signatures to distinguish bots from real users. This helps protect websites and online platforms from abuse, ensuring a safer and more reliable experience for genuine users.
