Automated web traffic generated by software programs (bots) rather than humans. Bot traffic can be benign (search engine crawlers) or malicious (click fraud bots, scrapers, form spammers).
Honeypot Field
A hidden form field invisible to human users but visible to bots. If the field is filled in, the submission is flagged as automated. Only catches unsophisticated bots.
Velocity Tracking
Monitoring the rate of form submissions from a single source (IP, device, email pattern) over time. Abnormally high submission velocity indicates automated or abusive behavior.
