Web Scraping and Bot Detection
We have tried several times and different ways to implement bot detection and web scraping prevention to keep unwanted bots and attackers at bay.
Problems: The bot detection leverages Javascript that causes 302's and has adverse SEO implications. Web scraping profile seems to block legitimate traffic regardless of how high we set the thresholds on transaction anomalies. If we try to block via opening sessions we don't seem to catch anything.
Is there any way to get a true capture within ASM of actual "session Count" from a normalized user? We use IBM's Tealeaf and apparently it interprets sessions differently than ASM does.
