Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for restricting access to a web resource. Website access information is obtained by monitoring accesses to a plurality of websites for each access, which may include a network identifier of an access requestor, a website identifier, and an access time for each request. Based on at least the website access information, it may be determined that a particular access requestor has accessed a number of different websites in a given time period. As a result, the particular access requestor may be classified as a web robot. A request to permit access to a web resource is received by the particular access requestor. In response to receiving the request to permit access to the web resource, the particular access requestor is prevented from accessing the web resource and/or a notification is generated that the particular access requestor is attempting to access the web resource.
