  • Patent number: 11461744
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to determining characteristics associated with attempts to request access an online system. A security test that changes one or more parameters associated with accessing the online system may be implemented for a determined time interval. The parameters changed may include user interface parameters, security threshold parameters, and addresses of servlets in the online system. Access requests received during the security test may be compared to access requests received before and after the security test to determine characteristics of scripted access requests (e.g., automated attacks by one or more malicious users) and legitimate access requests to the online system. The present techniques enhance computer system security and can bolster network bandwidth by allowing malicious access requests to be more easily identified and filtered out.
