Most modern Web robots that crawl the Internet to support value-added services and
technologies possess sophisticated data collection and analysis capabilities. Some of these …

In this paper, we introduce a probabilistic modeling approach for addressing the problem of
Web robot detection from Web-server access logs. More specifically, we construct a …

Crawler detection is always an important research topic in network security. With the
development of web technology, crawlers are constantly updating and changing, and their …

Aspects relate to identifying Internet spiders with an approach involving a plurality of
instances of one or more URLs, which reference resources available from a first domain …

In web robot detection it is important is to find features that are common characteristics of
diverse robots, in order to differentiate between them and humans. Existing approaches …

Several studies examined various features on how to most effectively detect web robots.
Based on an insight that most web robots, regardless of specifics, would exhibit focused and …

It has been traditionally believed that humans, who exhibit well-studied behaviors and
statistical regularities in their traffic, primarily generate the stream of traffic seen by Web …

This paper proposes a method of crawling Web servers connected to the Internet without
imposing a high processing load. We are using the crawler for a field survey of the digital …

One of the distributed solutions for scaling Web Search Engines (WSEs) may be peer-to-
peer (P2P) structures. P2P structures are successfully being used in many systems with …

This paper presents a study of Web Crawler activities based upon Web access logs from the
Web site of an academic library. It further compares crawler behavior with that of regular …
