anti-bot-engine

Signal-based bot detection layer using behavioral fingerprinting and adaptive challenges.

Purpose

Bot detection is often reduced to IP blocking or CAPTCHAs. anti-bot-engine takes a different approach: collect behavioral signals during normal interaction and use them to score requests without interrupting real users.

The system issues adaptive challenges only when signals cross a threshold, keeping friction low for humans and cost high for automation.
