Bot & Scraper Defense
Stop Scrapers From Taking Your Content and Bots From Taking Your Inventory
Content scraping and inventory or checkout bots exploit the same underlying weakness: no reliable way to tell a scripted client from a real visitor before the damage is done.
Signal: bot
Challenge automated behavior
Why the usual approach falls short
IP blocklists get bypassed by rotating residential proxy pools built for exactly this purpose. Effective defense has to score behavior, since the address alone gives it away too easily.
The MaskFlare approach
MaskFlare Radar scores traffic behaviorally and by device fingerprint, distinguishing scraping and bot traffic from real visitors regardless of how often the source IP changes.
Benefits
Protects content and inventory alike
The same detection engine covers content scraping, checkout bots, and inventory-hoarding traffic.
No added friction for real visitors
Only traffic that scores as risky is challenged.
Catches distributed attempts
Behavioral scoring still works when traffic is spread across a large rotating IP pool.

Frequently asked questions
Will this block search engine crawlers?
No — known, wanted crawlers are allow-listed separately from the automated traffic a site doesn't want.
Does this rely on IP blocklists, which rotating proxy pools can get around?
No — detection scores behavior and device fingerprint rather than relying on IP reputation, which is exactly what a rotating residential proxy pool is built to defeat.
Can policy differ between, say, a checkout page and a content page?
Yes — policy is configurable per endpoint, so checkout, content, and API traffic can each carry different thresholds rather than one blanket rule.
Does blocking bot traffic add friction for real visitors?
No — only traffic that scores as risky is challenged; legitimate visitors pass through without added friction.
