Abstract
Techniques to facilitate web traffic classification are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, web traffic between a plurality of clients and at least one web server is monitored, and the web traffic is analyzed to determine attribute data points associated with each individual client of the plurality of clients. The attribute data points associated with each individual client are compared to define a plurality of client groups based on similarities in the attribute data points among each individual client. A client of the plurality of clients is identified as malicious when the client is included in more than one of the client groups.
