Man I fucking LOVE building stuff. My free / OSS bot & scraper protection system is now live
https://www.stylobot.net . It's umm...VERY different from almost anything else. Oh and ridiculously more powerful than almost anything else too by taking a behavioural approach rather than simple string matching. It builds a comprehensive ledger of each user (no PII stored!) and their behaviour across sessions, requests, and even within a single request-response operation.
Uses heuristics & deterministic analysis (with optional LLM escalation for novel detections).
Free, ASP.NET Middleware, Docker Image & executable. Public Domain (commercial addons coming later)
