Someone know working bot detector or some method to detect bots?

For faucets owners i mean..

It exists some mechanismn to detect a bot.

- measurement of time / entry-time and claim time
- Honeypots with dynamic input-fields and buttons
- Measurement of Mouse Clicks and Movement
- Fingerprint.js as alternative of IP-Address

But the bots are written especially for your faucet and they adapt constantly.

honestly it's very hard since I red before that some of the bots have resting time , just like a human so its really hard to find one unless they don't let the bot rest

You can use a visit count,time on site,clicks or other filters.

It doesn't looks good..  :(

What about captcha? ReCaptcha is the best?

Maybe changing captcha system every week can help? 

I doubt that could help as bots are designed for most scenarios if im not mistaken, perhaps someone with a better knowledge could confirm this

it doesn't matter which captcha-system you use.
They can bypass the biggest captcha solutions, either by third party tools or by an OCR techique

You should better focus on improving your ad revenue to compensate loss from bots, if any. Fighting against bots is a waste of time IMO.

This is what I have observed! Only high traffic compensates losses caused by bots.

But I would be grateful if someone can say something about changing captcha - it can help or not? My guess is that it can be difficult for bot owners to change options everytime when you change claim time and captcha system.. or..?
