Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes providing, for use by a third-party, injectable computer code that is capable of being served with other code provided by the third-party to client computing devices; receiving data from client computing devices that have been served the code by the third-party, the data including data that characterizes (a) the client computing devices and (b) user interaction with the client computing devices; classifying the client computing devices as controlled by actual users or instead by automated software based on analysis of the received data from the client computing devices; and providing to the third party one or more reports that characterize an overall level of automated software activity among client computing devices that have been served code by the third party.
