Non-blocking automated agent detection

A system, comprising:

• at least one computing device configured to implement one or more services, wherein the one or more services are configured to:
• receive a request to access one or more resources of a service provider remotely located from a requestor of the request;
• determine, in response to the request, a response to the request that includes a security check, the response including one or more references to information, wherein selection of the one or more references is required for accessing the one or more services, the one or more references being unselectable by a user during presentation of the security check, the one or more references being selectable in the webpage by an automated agent, and the security check being configured to cause the automated agent to ignore the security check in response to the presentation of the security check;
• transmit the response, as determined, to the request;
• at a time after transmitting the response to the request, make a determination whether the security check has been interacted with;
• and
• perform one or more actions based at least in part on the determination.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to at least:

• receive a request;
• transmit a response to a requestor of the request, the response being configured such that when rendered, the response provides a user interface that includes a security check and one or more references to information that are unselectable by a non-automated agent using the provided user interface as a result of the security check being present in the provided user interface, and the one or more references to information are selectable, via the provided user interface, by an automated agent without automated agent interaction with the security check whose presentation renders the one or more references unselectable by the non-automated agent;
• receive data indicating whether an interaction was performed with the security check;
• if the received data indicates that the interaction with the one or more references to information was performed with the security check, determine that the requestor is the non-automated agent;
• if the received data indicates that the interaction with the one or more references to information was performed without the security check, determine that the requestor is the automated agent;
• and
• update a signature list based at least in part on whether the interaction was performed.
