Utilizing behavioral features to identify bot

An apparatus having a processor, the processor being adapted to perform the steps of:

• obtaining a set of behavioral features based on a PIP of a usage of an input device during an interaction of an agent with a web page, wherein the set of behavioral features are consistent with a human-generated interaction, wherein the set of behavioral features are generated based on events obtained from a client device used by the agent;
• automatically estimating whether the agent is a bot based on:
• comparison of the set of behavioral features with one or more additional sets of behavioral features based on PIPs, wherein the one or more additional sets of behavioral features were previously obtained based on interactions of one or more agents with one or more web pages, and wherein the PIPs originate only from web pages of a same type as the PIP;
• and
• subject to the behavioral features representing a human generated interaction, determining that the set of behavioral features is associated with replayed human interactions rather than original human interactions, wherein replayed human interactions are interactions in which a recorded set of interactions originally performed by a human are injected by the bot, thereby mimicking human behavior;
• and
• in response to an estimation that the agent is a bot, performing a responsive action.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium retaining program instructions, which program instructions when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

• obtaining a set of behavioral features based on a PIP of a usage of an input device during an interaction of an agent with a web page, wherein the set of behavioral features are consistent with a human-generated interaction, wherein the set of behavioral features are generated based on events obtained from a client device used by the agent;
• automatically estimating whether the agent is a bot based on:
• comparison of the set of behavioral features with one or more additional sets of behavioral features based on PIPs, wherein the one or more additional sets of behavioral features were previously obtained based on interactions of one or more agents with one or more web pages, and wherein and the PIPs originate only from web pages of a same type as the PIP;
• and
• subject to the behavioral features representing a human generated interaction, determining that the set of behavioral features is associated with replayed human interactions rather than original human interactions, wherein replayed human interactions are interactions in which a recorded set of interactions originally performed by a human are injected by the bot, thereby mimicking human behavior;
• and
• in response to an estimation that the agent is a bot, performing a responsive action.
