I would like to know if the ASM web scraping feature would help us out in the following. We have bots that could use thousands off customer account to login and scrape our lines pages and their request could come from multiple /16 /24 ip ranges. Also their able to bypass some client side java by using browser like module in for example python – phantomjs – selenium – splash etc . So we want to know if F5 ASM could fingerprint and detect these types off bots/web-scrapers which is not the normal type of bots and take action even if they change user-agent string or spoof true-client ip headers – refer etc . Most important without affecting performance and with a low rate of false positive. Mau
