What Do I Need to Know to Build a Bot Detection Tool?
Asked by
TechieMaverick42
I'm an engineering student who's recently developed an interest in computer science and started self-learning using the OSSU Curriculum. A colleague was conducting a survey on a specific site and wanted a tool to distinguish between bots and humans, but couldn't find an affordable open-source option. I'm curious about the specific knowledge and resources I need to actually build such an application since I realized that what I've been studying might not be enough. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
