How does a spider trap detector work?
1/*
Implementation of the spider trap

A hidden link or page is created on the website. It is not visible or accessible to regular users but can be found by bots that automatically search the website.

Monitoring and Logging

The website is set up to monitor and log activity, specifically targeting access to the hidden link or page. This means that every visit to this trap is recorded, including details such as the IP address and the time of access.

Detection of the Bot

When a bot activates the trap by visiting the hidden link or page, this action is detected and logged as potentially unwanted bot activity.

Analysis and Identification

The collected data is analyzed to determine if the activity actually comes from a malicious bot. This may include comparing the behavior to known patterns of bot behavior.

Response and Action

Depending on the findings, measures are taken against the detected bot. This can range from blocking the IP address to tightening security rules to prevent future access.

Continuous Optimization

The results of the detection and the actions taken are used to continuously refine and improve the spider trap detection strategy. This may also involve adjusting the trap itself to be more effective against new or evolving bot strategies.
