Abstract

Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, security management apparatuses, and network traffic management systems that send a web page to a client device in response to a received request for a web resource. The web page comprises injected capability analysis client-side code that is configured to obtain and return capability data for a web browser identified in a user agent header of the request. A response comprising the returned capability data is received and the returned capability data is compared with expected capability data for the web browser identified in the user agent header of the request. A score is generated based at least in part on the comparison and a determination is made when the score exceeds an established threshold. The web resource is retrieved and provided to the client device, when the determining indicates that the score exceeds the established threshold.
