Flutter & one other UA was wrongly recognised as a bot #266

User Agent String

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 14; I2208 Build/UP1A.231005.007; wv) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/114.0.5735.196 Mobile Safari/537.36 csh-cashify-flutter csh-store-checkout d2c-back-supported
Windows NT 6.1

These two user agents are identified as bots.

Reproduce

No direct way.

Context

I can confirm that these were the real users browsing a website based on their IP geolocation and activities they did on the websites.

Addressed Flutter in #265

Windows NT 6.1 is OS identification only, without browser recognition. It's probably Windows Server.

The user-agent string is not a behavioural check - it is an umbrella check for patterns used by automated services. You can always send and user agent string with your natural behaviour.

Thank you, @omrilotan, for addressing my three user-agents so quickly. Much appreciated.

You are suggesting that Windows MT 6.1 should be kept treating as a bot?

omrilotan commented 1 month ago

At this moment, I would keep recognising Windows MT 6.1 as bot
