Browser signal collection for detection of automated activity in browser session
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for online form logging malicious or bot activity detection. The method may include, initiating an event logging procedure on a webpage. The method may also include listening to one or more event types via the form detection procedure on the webpage. The method may further include measuring a timing between each of the one or more events. In addition, the method may include aggregating the one or more events and the timing between each of the one or more events into an array. Further, the method may include transmitting the array to a server device to determine, based on the array, whether there is human activity or bot activity.
1. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory comprising computer program code,
the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to
initiate an event logging procedure on a webpage;
listen to one or more event types via a form detection procedure on the webpage;
measure a timing between each of the one or more events;
aggregate the one or more events and the timing between each of the one or more events into an array; and
transmit the array to a server device to determine, based on the array, whether there is human activity or bot activity,
wherein the array comprises an aggregate of the one or more event types versus a trusted property, and
wherein the aggregate of the one or more event types versus the trusted property comprises a determination of a number of times that the trusted property was fired for a given event type of the one or more event types.
2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the timing is a maximum of 1024 ms between each of the one or more events.
3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the webpage has JavaScript enabled.
4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more event types comprises at least one of:
a mouse event,
a keyboard event, and
an input event.
5. The apparatus according to claim 4 ,
wherein the mouse event comprises a mouse-up operation, a mouse-down operation, a mouse-out operation, a mouse-over, or a click operation,
wherein the keyboard event comprises a key-down operation or a key-up operation, and
wherein the input event comprises a paste operation, a select operation, or an input operation.
6. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the input operation comprises an insert, a delete, a history, or a format operation.
7. A method, comprising:
initiating an event logging procedure on a webpage;
listening to one or more event types via a form detection procedure on the webpage;
measuring a timing between each of the one or more events;
aggregating the one or more events and the timing between each of the one or more events into an array; and
transmitting the array to a server device to determine, based on the array, whether there is human activity or bot activity,
wherein the array comprises an aggregate of the one or more event types versus a trusted property, and
wherein the aggregate of the one or more event types versus the trusted property comprises a determination of a number of times that the trusted property was fired for a given event type of the one or more event types.
8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the timing is a maximum of 1024 ms between each of the one or more events.
9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the webpage has JavaScript enabled.
10. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the one or more event types comprises at least one of:
a mouse event,
a keyboard event, and
an input event.
11. The method according to claim 10 ,
wherein the mouse event comprises a mouse-up operation, a mouse-down operation, a mouse-out operation, a mouse-over, or a click operation,
wherein the keyboard event comprises a key-down operation or a key-up operation, and wherein the input event comprises a paste operation, a select operation, or an input operation.
12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the input operation comprises an insert, a delete, a history, or a format operation.
13. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a computer program, the computer program comprising computer executable code, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
initiate an event logging procedure on a webpage;
listen to one or more event types via a form detection procedure on the webpage;
measure a timing between each of the one or more events;
aggregate the one or more events and the timing between each of the one or more events into an array; and
transmit the array to a server device to determine, based on the array, whether there is human activity or bot activity,
wherein the array comprises an aggregate of the one or more event types versus a trusted property, and
wherein the aggregate of the one or more event types versus the trusted property comprises a determination of a number of times that the trusted property was fired for a given event type of the one or more event types.
14. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 13 , wherein the timing is a maximum of 1024 ms between each of the one or more events.
15. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 13 ,
wherein the one or more event types comprises at least one of:
a mouse event,
a keyboard event, and
an input event.
16. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 15 ,
wherein the mouse event comprises a mouse-up operation, a mouse-down operation, a mouse-out operation, a mouse-over, or a click operation,
wherein the keyboard event comprises a key-down operation or a key-up operation, and
wherein the input event comprises a paste operation, a select operation, or an input operation.
17. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 16 , wherein the input operation comprises an insert, a delete, a history, or a format operation.
