Abstract

Technologies for detecting bot signals include extracting at least a primary signal and a secondary signal from header data logged by an automated service during a time interval, where the header data is associated with web-based client-server requests received by an online system, generating distribution data representative of the secondary signal when the primary signal matches a first criterion, converting the distribution data to a quantitative score, after the time interval, causing a web-based client-server request to be blocked or redirected when the quantitative score matches a second criterion.
