Bot mitigation that makes bots pay for themselves.
b8t combines detection, verification, and mitigation into a single seamless layer—protecting your site while funding its own protection.
it run in the background just now. did you notice?
Two-layer architecture
b8t combines edge-layer intelligence with client-side SDK signals for decisions that are fast, accurate, and adaptive.
Edge Layer
The edge layer handles traffic before it reaches your origin—making decisions at the earliest possible point with minimal latency.
- Request pattern analysis
- IP reputation scoring
- TLS fingerprinting
- Geo-velocity checks
Client SDK
The client SDK captures browser-level signals that are difficult to fake—running silently without impacting user experience.
- JavaScript execution signals
- Browser environment detection
- Behavioral biometrics
- Device fingerprinting
Detection engine
Four complementary detection vectors work together to identify malicious automation with high accuracy and low false positives.
Behavioral
Mouse movements, scroll patterns, typing cadence, and interaction timing.
Environment
Browser APIs, canvas rendering, WebGL capabilities, and device properties.
Execution
JavaScript hook detection, automation framework identification, headless browser flags.
Verification
Challenge-optional scoring that verifies before acting to minimize false positives.
Humans don't notice b8t. Bots do.
Zero latency added
Decisions happen at the edge before your origin server even sees the request. Real visitors experience zero measurable delay.
No challenge-first UX
Most visitors pass through silently. Challenges are reserved for ambiguous traffic that needs verification.
Adaptive checks
Detection intensity scales with traffic characteristics—quiet for normal visitors, vigilant for suspicious patterns.
The economics of free protection
b8t monetizes confirmed malicious traffic through controlled pathways—turning a cost center into a sustainability model.
What happens to bot traffic?
When traffic is verified as malicious, it gets diverted into monetization channels rather than being simply blocked. This creates economic friction for attackers.
- Traffic is rerouted, not wasted
- Attackers pay for their own blocking
- Revenue helps fund free protection
Why this matters
Traditional bot mitigation stops at blocking—making it a cost center. b8t's model turns the economics around.
- Free for site owners, always
- Aligned incentives
- Sustainable at scale
