Abstract
Methods and systems for malicious non-human user detection on computing devices are described. The method includes collecting, by a processing device, raw data corresponding to a user action, converting, by the processing device, the raw data to features, wherein the features represent characteristics of a human user or a malicious code acting as if it were the human user, and comparing, by the processing device, at least one of the features against a corresponding portion of a characteristic model to differentiate the human user from the malicious code acting as if it were the human user.
