I built a platform to detect any kind of anti-bot / anti-agent tooling that’s installed on a website. Cloudflare Bot Manager has the lion's share of the market but there are a litany of other ones offered by Akamai, Vercel, Amazon, and DataDome that have significant representation too.
In total, there's about 30+ different products that BotScope can detect. The entire catalog is here: https://botscope.org/abaam
A few technical details you might find interesting:
- Scans are full browser webpage loads. Not just `curl` requests.
- Scans are executed from datacenter IP addresses to closely mimic automated bot/agent webpage access.
- There isn't any kind of pentesting or destructive stuff happening... just pure recon!
- The product has API keys, and a hosted MCP server so scans can fit into agent/CI/internal-tool workflows too (I realize how meta this is).
