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!

Before jumping into coding, letโ€™s chat about how humans differentiate between bots and people. What are the signs you notice in user behavior?

ObservantOne27: Well, things like differences in features, color, and overall behavior are key indicators.
