Less than a week until my first commercial product, StyloBot launches. A behaviour based bot detection and blocking system. All the technical stuff is done now I just have to work out how to do the horrible 'social' stuff I need to sell it. For me complex behavioural inference with Mahalanobis distance based centroid bot type inference is EASY. Working out how to let people know it exists at all is the hard part! stylobot.net/ #BotDetection #BotProtection #CyberSecurity #WebSecurity #AIScraping #dotnetcore #yarp

StyloBot time again my FREE, Open Source anti-bot and fraud system! This coming week is finalising the dashbiard and getting then first commercial packs ready. LAUNCHES JUNE 1ST - MY FIRST SELF PUBLISHED COMMERCIAL PRODUCT! You can follow along development; the site is hosted on a laptop through cloudflare tunnel until then but kinda sorta working already. x-plat executable, YARP reverse proxy, Sidecar, ASP.NET Middleware, TypeScript, Caddy integration...THE LOT 😎 stylobot.net Current dashboard is below (still working on spacing), self hosted...can run in microseconds and protect against any automation. #StyloBot #OpenSource #BotDetection #FraudPrevention #AspNetCore #DotNet #SelfHosted #BuildInPublic #ProductLaunch

AI agents completing surveys aren’t just a future risk—they’re a current data quality problem. We’ve analyzed how these systems behave in real surveys. Tomorrow, we’re sharing what we’ve learned, plus introducing the Bot Olympics: A $50K Industry Challenge with MIT to push detection even further.

StyloBot free day as I ran myself ragged trying to get it going in my free time (very little of which I HAD finishing up 2x contracts!). Biggest win is dropping the ONNX dependency. Earlier versions used ONNX embeddings as a shortcut: turn a client signature into a vector and compare it. It worked, but it was never quite the right abstraction. Embeddings are built for language. StyloBot’s inputs are behavioural structures. The new version defines that behavioural vector space directly. Requests, sessions, browsers, bots, scrapers, and odd clients are placed into a real StyloBot-native space. The system ships with archetype centroids, then adapts those centroids to the actual traffic it sees. So instead of asking a model what a client 'means', StyloBot learns what your traffic looks like. StyloBot is REALLY a conceptually unfolded ML model so it sort of trains itself on real traffic around centroids and updates as it goes. It's ODD. Now out in Release Candidate github.com/scottgal/stylobot… Plan is still for full release June 1st but the FOSS client MAY reach RTM quality before that (lots of manual testing!) #BotDetection #CyberSecurity #DotNet #SQLiteVec #VectorSearch #BehaviouralInference #AIInfrastructure #OpenSource

Bot detection isn’t one filter. It’s a stack. Sites can evaluate: • user-agent • IP reputation • TLS fingerprint • behavior That’s why reliable web access for AI agents isn’t solved by one tweak. You need traffic that can pass multiple detection layers consistently. #BotDetection #AIAgents #Cybersecurity #MobileProxies

New article about StyloBot - my FREE realtime adaptive automation blocker and detector. mostlylucid.net/blog/stylobo… Trying to put together a *human* level descriptor as I prepare to make it my full time gig (amongst other self-released projects). #botdetection #fraud #stylobot

Ok, FOSS StyloBot is RTM with 6.0.6 Free, Open Source adaptive, realtime bot protection system that runs on your hardware (Linux, Mac, Windows x64 & ARM - even a Pi 4) , never sends your customer data ANYWHERE and can optionally use TINY local LLMs to add a yet more layers of intelligence. This is the version that will be the basis for the full-flavoured interactive dashboard system. it's a complete (the full Enterprise offering uses the same engine) StyloBot adaptive, realtime inference bot protection system. I can *and have* gone on at length about all the clever stuff it does but here's the headline: *Put this in front of any website, set it to 'block' mode and it will INSTANTLY start protecting you against all malicious bot traffic* It learns to get quicker and more effective, it applies novel techniques to profile your web traffic in detail to detect *even novel* automations. When the commercial version launches in the next couple of weeks I'll have a couple of months early access. (After that flat $100/month per tld, $1000/mo unlimited for the full active management / live reporting dashboard, distributed topologies etc.) github.com/scottgal/stylobot… Readme for the NUMEROUS ways you can install / run it. github.com/scottgal/stylobot… I'm obviously hyped about it but it's really like nothing else in the market. CHEQ, Imperva, WAFs are all....kinda sorta like this but they're BRITTLE. No updates, no usage charges, no long fragile blocklists etc...It dynamically profiles web traffic to identify bot behaviours and profiles in the traffic itself. #CyberSecurity #BotDetection #FraudPrevention #WebSecurity #OpenSource #SelfHosted #SecurityEngineering #DotNetCore #ASPNETCORE

Weird scraping puzzle. I type the captcha by hand in a browser window — site shows the full result. My script types the exact same captcha into the same window — site shows an empty page. Same IP. Same session. Same form data. Only the typist changed. What is the website actually checking, and how would you defeat it? #webscraping #automation #botdetection #python #playwright
