Bot detection should not stop at allow/block. This post shows how StyloBot's classification result becomes application logic in ASP.NET: tag helpers in Razor, action filters and policies in controllers, signal-level gating, so your UI can shape the experience…
Bot detection should not stop at allow/block. This post shows how StyloBot's classification result becomes application logic in TypeScript: server middleware for Express and Fastify, template helpers for Handlebars, Nunjucks, and EJS, and browser web…
Identity-based bot detection (IPs, user-agents, headers) collapses the moment automation starts rotating identities. StyloBot models clients as behavioural shapes in a 130+ dimensional vector space. Here's why that's the right level of abstraction for level-4…
Enterprise bot detection shouldn't require a PhD in infrastructure (or thousands a month in expenditure to use!). Two lines of code, zero external services, and you're running (up to) 21 detectors in milliseconds on every request to every endpoint. Read Part…
Part 1 was the why. This is the show-and-tell tour of what StyloBot does that is rare in production bot stacks. Thesis: StyloBot models bot detection as a progressive, early-exit topology of behavioral signals, with response outcomes feeding back into scoring…
Scrapers are about to start using AI to mimic real users - so I built a bot detector that learns, adapts, and fights back. Read Part 2: How Bots Got Smarter - The New Frontier in Bot Detection 👉 See It Live: StyloBot.net - This is the real production system…
While in this current 'manic' article writing stage I thought I'd share a sensitive project I built for a charity during COVID. This is a very sensitive topic so I have gotten all applicable permissions and agreed to ONLY share the concepts which diverge and…
Well, had a lovely break...now for some code, this will let you 'impersonate' a user - really handy when, for instance, trying to upload a file to a network location...as usual, no idea where I found this, if it was youre, let me know! using System; using…
It never ceases to amaze me the lengths to which Spammers go to get you to read their dumb emails... Some however are just deeply dumb and to be gullible enough to read them would put you into a category of stupidity which would automatically (or should)…
Looks like 411ASP.NET (a mediocre ASP.NET information / links site which used to be really good) has been defaced by a script kiddie...as of 10am (GMT) 22/09/2003
