How We Verify Every Bot

Three independent signals, combined for maximum accuracy.

1

User-Agent Analysis

Pattern matching against our comprehensive database of known bot signatures. Fast first-pass detection.

Latency <1ms
Confidence 60-90%
2

IP Range Verification

Check the request IP against known CIDR blocks published by bot operators. Confirms network ownership.

Latency 10-20ms
Confidence 75-95%
3

Reverse DNS Validation

PTR lookup confirms the IP actually belongs to the claimed domain. The gold standard for bot verification.

Latency 50-200ms
Confidence 99%

More Signals = Higher Confidence

Our confidence scores combine multiple verification signals. When signals from the same provider match, confidence increases. Reverse DNS verification - the hardest to spoof - pushes confidence to 99%.

Any signal + Reverse DNS verified
99% confidence - Cryptographically verified
User-Agent + CIDR (same provider)
95% confidence - High assurance
Single signal match only
60-75% confidence - Provisional

GDPR-Compliant by Design

Human visitor IPs are automatically anonymized - we zero the last octet before storage. Bot IPs are preserved for security analysis, but human traffic stays private.
