It’s becoming more common to hear about IoT security — or the lack thereof — in the news, and computers and IoT devices are frequently targeted by hackers for “bot” employment to perform distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, application exploits and credential stuffing. Non human traffic or bot traffic represents currently more than 60% of the total traffic going to web sites. Those bots come in a variety of forms, making it extremely important to distinguish between the infected hosts that often make up botnets to perform various malicious activities, to the legitimate bots that are extremely important in driving customer traffic to your site (Googlebot, for example). Different Types of Bot Attacks on Web Services Websites that contain pricing information and proprietary information are especially vulnerable to bot traffic. An example of a content scraping process can be seen when airline companies use bot farming to scrape price information from competitive airline company sites. They use this information to dynamically price similar products — once they find out what a competitor is charging, they can price their services lower to gain a market advantage.
