What happens if a real user has unusual browser behavior because of accessibility tools?

What happens if a real user has unusual browser behavior because of accessibility tools?

What is Hardware & GPU Fingerprinting in bot detection?

Direct Answer: Hardware & GPU Fingerprinting involves examining the hardware and graphics details reported by a user's device. A normal browser reports details that naturally fit together for that device. Mismatches can indicate that a virtual machine or spoofed profile is being used, which...

What is the difference between independent evidence and cross-checked context in bot detection?

Direct Answer: Independent evidence is one objective fact about a visit, such as a blocked challenge iframe mismatch. Cross-checked context means BotRefund tests whether other signals support the same story. A single clue is only the starting point. The final classification comes from an...

What is the difference between IP blocking and client-side detection?

Direct Answer: IP blocking relies on static blacklists, which modern botnets can easily bypass with rotating proxies. Client-side detection analyzes behavior and browser signals in real time. BotRefund uses 110+ on-site telemetry signals to identify bots that IP blocking misses. This approach also provides...

What is the ‘Visited History’ check and why is it important?

What kind of browser details do bot detectors compare to spot automated traffic?

Direct Answer: Bot detectors look at hardware, graphics, fonts, audio, and operating-system details to see if they naturally fit together. A real browser usually reports details that match the device, while an automated browser may claim one device but reveal another through its processor...
