Abstract
Software robots ('bots') may be detected in a client computer using a client-side bot detector. The client-side bot detector may be configured to receive bot event profiles indicating IP (Internet Protocol) addresses involved in malicious online activities perpetrated by bots and time frames when the malicious online activities occurred. The client-side bot detector may determine dynamic IP addresses that have been dynamically assigned to the client computer by consulting a dynamic IP assignment profile of the client computer. The client-side bot detector may compare the bot event profiles against the dynamic IP assignment profile of the client computer to determine if the client computer is infected by a bot.
