Block Threat

circle-info

This feature will increase the user verification attempt count.

Most legitimate browsers will score 1 or 2, indicating little risk. Most bots will score 4 or 5, indicating a concrete risk of automation backed by hard signals. Browsers that score 3 are ambiguous: no definitive automation signals, but an elevated (not conclusive) risk. Typical cases include legacy browsers/OS versions and other heuristic red flags.

Bot Score Description

  • 5 (Bot): High confidence; strongly suggests automation.

  • 4 (Bot): Medium confidence; environment suggests automation.

  • 3 (Human): Low confidence; environment is ambiguous.

  • 2 (Human): Medium confidence; likely human.

  • 1 (Human): High confidence; user is probably a human.

Usage Recommendations

Low-Risk Servers

  • Blocking Criteria: Block users with a Bot Score of 5.

  • Rationale: This conservative approach minimizes the risk of falsely blocking legitimate users—even if the browser environment is otherwise rather suspicious.

Standard Servers

  • Blocking Criteria: Block users with a Bot Score of 4 or higher.

  • Rationale: This is the recommended option for most servers, only blocking the most suspicious browsers with little cross over with real humans.

High-Risk Servers

  • Blocking Criteria: Block users with a Bot Score of 3 or higher.

  • Rationale: This setting strikes a balance by targeting higher-risk environments while accepting a higher chance of false positives, particularly from users with older or unusual browsers or devices.

Very High-Risk Servers

  • Blocking Criteria: Block users with a Bot Score of 2 or higher.

  • Rationale: This aggressive policy is designed for environments with strong security requirements. It targets any even remotely suspicious browser with high levels of false positives.
