In this paper we:
- study the use of fingerprinting for bot detection among websites of the top 10K
- describe the main techniques used by commercial fingerprinters to detect bots
1
- evaluate the resilience of fingerprinting for bot detection against adversarial bots, i.e. bots that modify their fingerprint to bypass detection.
