BotRefund’s Bot‑Traffic Detection Signals

BotRefund identifies bot traffic using a suite of behavioral and network signals, such as ghost clicks, honeypot traps, robotic mouse movements, and anomalous network ports. These signals are combined in an AI model to...

Built for advertisers who need clear, refund-ready traffic evidence.

Key signals BotRefund monitors

BotRefund evaluates a range of independent checks to decide whether a visit is automated. The most prominent signals are:

  • Ghost click detection – catches click activity that happens without the natural sequence of human intent.
  • Trap behavior (honeypot) – watches for bots that respond to hidden or intentionally deceptive page elements.
  • Pointer behavior – flags unnaturally straight mouse paths that rarely appear in real user sessions.
  • Motion behavior – looks for the tiny imperfections and jitter typical of human movement, which bots lack.
  • Speed behavior – identifies interactions that happen faster than a person could realistically perform (under 1 ms).
  • Path behavior – detects grid‑aligned movement patterns that snap to precise lines instead of natural curves.
  • Engagement behavior – highlights sessions that stay too static, showing an absence of clicks or scrolling.
  • Session behavior – catches visit lengths that are too short, too long, or too uniform to be human.
  • Suspicious ports – one of 106 independent checks that looks for mismatched network, location, and timing data often produced by proxy rotation or browser spoofing.
  • Monitor sync anomaly – examines timing and movement inconsistencies that scripts struggle to reproduce, adding another layer of evidence.

Each signal on its own is not a verdict; BotRefund’s AI model cross‑checks them with other browser, network, and device data to reach a 99 % accurate classification.
