Bot Mitigation

Advanced Mitigation Measures

Bot Protection is disabled by default and can be enabled when the application is under a bot attack or shows signs of a potential DDoS threat. Prophaze provides multiple bot protection strategies to suit different scenarios:

• Captcha-less Challenge: The Captcha-less Challenge uses advanced JavaScript techniques to analyze user interactions, such as mouse movements, browsing behavior, and device fingerprints, to distinguish humans from bots with high accuracy. It delivers strong protection while maintaining a smooth user experience, making it ideal for e-commerce, content-heavy platforms, and other scenarios where seamless access is a priority.

• Captcha Challenge: The Captcha Challenge strengthens access control by requiring users to complete a simple verification step, ensuring only genuine users gain entry. By adding this extra layer of assurance, it effectively prevents automated bots from exploiting sensitive processes. This approach is particularly valuable for login portals, financial transactions, and applications that demand strict authentication and data protection.

• PhantomJS Challenge: The PhantomJS Challenge focuses on detecting automated traffic that attempts to mimic legitimate users through headless or script-driven browsers. Using advanced behavioral and environment analysis, it silently blocks malicious activity in the background without affecting the user journey. This ensures genuine users enjoy uninterrupted access, while automated attacks such as scraping, credential abuse, and exploitation attempts are neutralized effectively.

• Whitelist Option: Prophaze’s bot mitigation tools include a customizable whitelist feature, allowing administrators to define trusted traffic sources or user agents. This ensures that legitimate users are not mistakenly blocked while still enforcing protection against unauthorized automated access.
