System and method to detect and block bot traffic

A computer implemented method for detecting and blocking bots, comprising:

• receiving a HTTP request from a client application by a connector;
• generating a plurality of storage variables corresponding to the HTTP request by a storage variable generator;
• initiating an API call by a connector to a bot detection computer for every HTTP request received from the client application;
• injecting storage variables in an HTTP response sent from a web server to the client application by the connector;
• injecting a preset snippet into the HTTP response sent to the client application, and wherein the code snippet is configured to execute at the client application and further transmit client-side parameters to the bot detection server;
• analyzing the plurality of storage variables and client-side parameters in the HTTP response by the bot detection computer to detect bots;
• generating a bot signature based on detection of a bot and storing the generated bot signature in a database in the bot detection computer, wherein the bot signature database is stored in the bot detection computer and a replica of the bot signature database is stored in the web server;
• and
• performing a preset action on the HTTP requests emerging from the client application in response to detection of a bot, wherein the preset action comprises one of blocking subsequent HTTP requests, displaying a captcha on the client application.
