Bots are now used beyond simple automated tasks. They can be programmed to take over accounts, carry out attacks such as carding, denial of inventory, content scraping, and much more. These are done with the help of Generation 3 and Generation 4 bots that mimic human behavior such as mouse movements, keyboard strokes, clicking, and scrolling.
These bots exhibit sophisticated human-like behavior that may overcome the security defenses of an application. What makes it even difficult is that these bots rotate through a large number of user agents and device IDs, thereby generating just a few hits from each to avoid detection.
To stop these sophisticated attacks, you will need a specialized solution that can detect through the mask and stop bot attacks on your applications.
