Bot Fingerprinting Deep Dive

TLS/JA3 Fingerprinting

Every browser creates a unique TLS handshake pattern. CloakMaster captures JA3 hashes to distinguish real browsers from automated tools. Bots using headless Chrome or Playwright have different JA3 signatures than real Chrome.

ML Bot Scoring

Our weighted ensemble model analyzes 27 signals including timing patterns, header consistency, JavaScript execution capabilities, and behavioral indicators. Each visitor gets a 0-100 bot score.

Session Intelligence

CloakMaster remembers visitors across sessions using cookies, ETags, and IP history. Known bots are instantly filtered on return visits without running the full detection pipeline.
