#Bot detection

[daisukitoo]

The notion of the Turing test is that a computer would struggle to convince a human that it is human. Now we all need to struggle several times a day to convince computers that we are humans.

Snow bots au anyone? :D

They're back together a year later because it's snowing again❄️

All right! For context: I imagine them hanging out every winter in some kind of resort (a resort that Blurr owns. Because his bar business has expanded that much over time.)

The first product in this package, KasadaIQ for Fraud, provides actionable indications based on large amounts of data from the Internet.

Defeating Airdrop Hunters in Web3 with the Power of AI

Airdrop campaigns have become an essential tool for promoting projects in the Web3 ecosystem. However, the rise of fraudulent behavior, particularly Sybil attacks, poses a significant challenge for Web3 projects. These attacks involve profit-seeking individuals creating multiple fake identities to exploit airdrops, leading to market crashes and undermining the project’s goals.

Understanding Sybil Attacks

Sybil attacks involve malicious actors creating numerous fake accounts to claim airdrop rewards multiple times, manipulating the system for their own gain. These actors create and control multiple accounts to obtain more tokens, thereby disrupting the intended purpose of airdrops.

Airdrop auditing plays a vital role in mitigating the risks associated with Sybil attacks and ensuring a fair distribution of rewards. It helps project teams protect the integrity of their projects, maintain the trust of their community, and prevent market manipulation caused by fraudulent behavior.

Leveraging AI for Airdrop Auditing

Traditional rule-based systems used for airdrop auditing have limitations in detecting sophisticated bot and Sybil patterns. These systems rely on predefined rules and struggle to adapt to evolving fraudulent tactics, making them less effective in identifying new and emerging fraudulent behaviors.

To overcome the limitations of rule-based systems, W3W offers an AI-powered solution for airdrop auditing. By utilizing advanced AI algorithms, W3W excels in detecting and preventing bot and Sybil behavior, ensuring a level playing field for airdrop participants.

Key Advantages of W3W’s AI Algorithm:

Comprehensive Detection: W3W’s AI algorithm excels in accurately identifying intricate patterns and anomalies in transaction behaviors, enabling the detection of bot and Sybil activity with a high level of precision.

Adaptive Learning: W3W’s AI algorithm evolves over time, learning from new bot tactics and adapting its detection capabilities to counter emerging threats.

Enhanced Explainability: W3W’s AI algorithm provides clear output on the reasons behind its detections, allowing project teams to openly engage with the community and explain why particular wallets are classified as bots.

Efficient Resource Allocation: By accurately identifying fraudulent behavior, project teams can optimize the distribution of airdrops, ensuring that genuine users receive the rewards they deserve.

W3W’s AI-powered solution has successfully identified various bot patterns in Web3 airdrop campaigns. Here are three examples:

Pattern #1: Deceptive Funding Wallets

In this case, a group of 1000+ wallets in the same airdrop campaign exhibited suspicious behavior. They made identical fund transfers of the same amount at the same time, using different funding wallets to mask their actions. Among them, more than 500 wallets followed the exact same transaction sequences during a specific timeframe.

Pattern #2: Coordinated Bot Activity

Pattern #3: Cross-Chain Bot Fraud

W3W uncovered a sophisticated form of bot fraud called Cross-Chain Bot Fraud. Multiple bots collaborated across different blockchain networks, executing synchronized operations to deceive and manipulate the system for illicit gains.

With the rise of Web3 and the increasing popularity of airdrops, prioritizing the auditing of these campaigns is crucial to uphold fairness, transparency, and community trust. By embracing AI-powered solutions like W3W, projects can effectively detect and prevent bot and Sybil behavior, ensuring the protection of airdrop assets and maximizing the impact of their marketing budgets. Together, we are creating a Web3 ecosystem that fosters genuine engagement and rewards real participants.

Hey everyone—

I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been absolutely inundated with bots lately. So far they’ve mostly just been following me and not interacting with my content other than to like the odd post but they’re weirding me out.

I’ve told tumblr support about the problem (twice) and they tell me they’re aware of it but haven’t given me any indicator of how long it might take to fix it (or even how they intend to fix it). Meanwhile the flood of bots continues, sometimes literally thousands a day. I’m not sure what they’re up to, or why they’ve chosen my blog to follow, or why for now they’re content to sit silently by like some sort of flock of robotic vultures. But I thought I’d mention it in case they start misbehaving. I’ll let you know if I personally see anything sketch.

And now back to our regularly scheduled art-only posts ✨

Pulled up the persocon/robot!Dead Boy Detectives ficlet I wrote for a prompt here thinking "oh I'll clean it up and post it, it'll be something vaguely creative to do even if I'm busy"

and guess what happened

GUESS

That's right: I was seized by the desire to turn it into a proper story
