Abstract
Improved bot detection systems and methods are disclosed. A page fingerprinting algorithm can be used to categorize web pages. The categorization of web pages enables improved insights in profiling the way a human interacts with a website as opposed to a bot. Learning the patterns of humans and bots for a given web page category (or navigation across categories), a heuristic ruleset and/or machine learning system can differentiate between humans and bots. In this way, a human website visitor can be distinguished from a bot in an improved manner. The teachings hereof include systems and methods for deriving page fingerprints from makeup language files, for categorizing pages based on their structure and associated fingerprints, as well as heuristics and machine learning techniques to characterize website visitor behavior and detect bots, based on such web page categorization and fingerprinting.
