让机器人用户无利可图，他们很快就会离开——也就是说，偶尔卖一些人类不可能想要的东西(可能是一袋字面上的垃圾)。

这里最重要的事情是改变系统，从你的服务器上移除负载，防止机器人在不让奶瓶商知道你在和他们玩游戏的情况下赢得这袋垃圾，否则他们会修改他们的策略。我认为如果你们不进行一些处理，就没有办法做到这一点。

So you record hits on your home page. Whenever someone hits the page that connection is compared to its last hit, and if it was too quick then it is sent a version of the page without the offer. This can be done by some sort of load balancing mechanism that sends bots (the hits that are too fast) to a server that simply serves cached versions of your home page; real people get sent to the good server. This takes the load off the main server and makes the bots think that they are still being served the pages correctly.

如果这个提议能以某种方式被拒绝就更好了。然后你仍然可以在假服务器上提供报价，但当机器人填写表格时，说“对不起，你不够快”:)然后他们肯定会认为他们还在游戏中。

这样怎么样:创建一个表单，如果有新商品正在出售，就会收到一封电子邮件，并添加一个捕捉系统，将相同的内容发送给任何在X秒内刷新的人。

这样你就赢得了所有的场景:你摆脱了刮刮器(他们可以刮掉他们的电子邮件帐户)，你给了那些不会在你的网站上买东西的人机会!如果我真的想买东西，我肯定会在我的手机里收到电子邮件并登录购买。

我很确定你的服务器已经记录了所有传入请求的ip(大多数都是这样)——所以数据已经在那里了。

也许你可以:

只需验证“获胜者”，验证它的IP在日志中显示的值小于某个阈值(我使用“grep | wc -l”来获得计数)。如果它超过你的阈值，暂时阻止该IP(一个小时左右?)

取消任何与“上一位”中奖者有相同收货地址或付款信息的“中奖者”的资格，或者在一定时间内中奖的“中奖者”，以分散“中奖”。

机器人不会把他们弄到那里的。

把刮刀惹毛: 当“随机垃圾”条目出现时，通过“代码混淆器”运行该页面的HMTL输出……这不会改变页面的“显示”…只是用随机生成的id打乱代码等。

更阴险的:

根据获胜IP在日志中出现的次数，增加“获胜”项目的价格。即使机器人赢了，你也赢了。: -)

首先，让我回顾一下我们需要做的事情。我意识到我只是在转述最初的问题，但重要的是我们要百分之百地理解这个问题，因为有很多很好的建议，4个中有2个或3个是正确的，但正如我将演示的那样，您将需要一个多方面的方法来满足所有的需求。

要求1:摆脱“机器人抨击”:

首页的快速“猛击”正在损害网站的性能，这是问题的核心。这种“猛击”既来自单ip机器人，也可能来自僵尸网络。我们想把两者都去掉。

要求二:不要破坏用户体验:

我们可以通过实施一个讨厌的验证程序来有效地解决机器人的情况，比如打电话给操作员，解决一堆验证码，或类似的问题，但这就像强迫每个无辜的飞机乘客跳过疯狂的安全圈，只是为了抓住最愚蠢的恐怖分子的渺茫机会。哦，等等，我们真的这么做了。但让我们看看在woot.com上能否做到这一点。

要求三:避免“军备竞赛”

正如您所提到的，您不希望卷入垃圾邮件机器人军备竞赛。因此，您不能使用隐藏或混乱的表单字段、数学问题等简单的调整，因为它们本质上是可以简单地自动检测和规避的模糊度量。

需求4:挫败“警报”机器人:

这可能是您的要求中最困难的。即使我们可以进行有效的人类验证挑战，机器人仍然可以在你的首页上投票，并在有新报价时提醒编剧。我们也想让那些机器人变得不可行。这是第一个需求的更强版本，因为机器人不仅不能发出破坏性能的快速请求——它们甚至不能发出足够多的重复请求来及时向脚本人员发送“警报”以赢得报价。

好，让我们看看是否能满足这四个条件。首先，正如我提到的，没有一种测量方法能达到目的。你将不得不结合一些技巧来实现它，你将不得不忍受两个烦恼:

少数用户将被要求经历重重考验 少数用户将无法获得特别优惠

我知道这些都很烦人，但如果我们能让“小”的数字足够小，我希望你会同意利大于弊。

第一个措施:基于用户的节流:

这个很简单，我相信你已经做过了。如果用户已登录，并保持每秒刷新600次(或其他)，您将停止响应并告诉他冷却。事实上，你可能会更早地限制他的请求，但你明白我的意思。这样，一个登录的机器人将被禁止/节流一旦它开始投票你的网站。这是简单的部分。那些未经验证的机器人才是我们真正的问题，下面就来谈谈它们:

第二个措施:某种形式的知识产权限制，正如几乎所有人都建议的那样:

No matter what, you will have to do some IP based throttling to thwart the 'bot slamming'. Since it seems important to you to allow unauthenticated (non-logged-in) visitors to get the special offers, you only have IPs to go by initially, and although they're not perfect, they do work against single-IP bots. Botnets are a different beast, but I'll come back to those. For now, we will do some simple throttling to beat rapid-fire single-IP bots. The performance hit is negligable if you run the IP check before all other processing, use a proxy server for the throttling logic, and store the IPs in a memcached lookup-optimized tree structure.

第三种方法:用缓存的响应掩盖油门:

With rapid-fire single-IP bots throttled, we still have to address slow single-IP bots, ie. bots that are specifically tweaked to 'fly under the radar' by spacing requests slightly further apart than the throttling prevents. To instantly render slow single-IP bots useless, simply use the strategy suggested by abelenky: serve 10-minute-old cached pages to all IPs that have been spotted in the last 24 hours (or so). That way, every IP gets one 'chance' per day/hour/week (depending on the period you choose), and there will be no visible annoyance to real users who are just hitting 'reload', except that they don't win the offer. The beauty of this measure is that is also thwarts 'alarm bots', as long as they don't originate from a botnet. (I know you would probably prefer it if real users were allowed to refresh over and over, but there is no way to tell a refresh-spamming human from a request-spamming bot apart without a CAPTCHA or similar)

第四项措施:

You are right that CAPTCHAs hurt the user experience and should be avoided. However, in _one_ situation they can be your best friend: If you've designed a very restrictive system to thwart bots, that - because of its restrictiveness - also catches a number of false positives; then a CAPTCHA served as a last resort will allow those real users who get caught to slip by your throttling (thus avoiding annoying DoS situations). The sweet spot, of course, is when ALL the bots get caught in your net, while extremely few real users get bothered by the CAPTCHA. If you, when serving up the 10-minute-old cached pages, also offer an alternative, optional, CAPTCHA-verified 'front page refresher', then humans who really want to keep refreshing, can still do so without getting the old cached page, but at the cost of having to solve a CAPTCHA for each refresh. That is an annoyance, but an optional one just for the die-hard users, who tend to be more forgiving because they know they're gaming the system to improve their chances, and that improved chances don't come free.

第五种方法:诱饵废话:

Christopher Mahan had an idea that I rather liked, but I would put a different spin on it. Every time you are preparing a new offer, prepare two other 'offers' as well, that no human would pick, like a 12mm wingnut for $20. When the offer appears on the front page, put all three 'offers' in the same picture, with numbers corresponding to each offer. When the user/bot actually goes on to order the item, they will have to pick (a radio button) which offer they want, and since most bots would merely be guessing, in two out of three cases, the bots would be buying worthless junk. Naturally, this doesn't address 'alarm bots', and there is a (slim) chance that someone could build a bot that was able to pick the correct item. However, the risk of accidentally buying junk should make scripters turn entirely from the fully automated bots.

第六项措施:僵尸网络节流:

(删除)

Okay............ I've now spent most of my evening thinking about this, trying different approaches.... global delays.... cookie-based tokens.. queued serving... 'stranger throttling'.... And it just doesn't work. It doesn't. I realized the main reason why you hadn't accepted any answer yet was that noone had proposed a way to thwart a distributed/zombie net/botnet attack.... so I really wanted to crack it. I believe I cracked the botnet problem for authentication in a different thread, so I had high hopes for your problem as well. But my approach doesn't translate to this. You only have IPs to go by, and a large enough botnet doesn't reveal itself in any analysis based on IP addresses.

所以你知道了，第六小节是零。没什么。邮政编码。除非僵尸网络很小，或者足够快，可以被通常的IP限制，否则我不认为有任何有效的措施可以对抗僵尸网络，而不涉及明确的人类验证，如CAPTHAs。我很抱歉，但我认为结合以上五种方法是你最好的选择。你可能只需要abelenky的10分钟缓存技巧就可以了。

您可以尝试让脚本更难阅读价格。最简单的方法是将其转换为图像，但文本识别算法仍然可以解决这个问题。如果有足够多的脚本编写人员能够解决这个问题，您可以尝试对该图像应用类似验证码的东西，但显然是以牺牲用户体验为代价的。而不是图像，价格可以在一个flash应用程序。

或者，您可以尝试设计一种方法，以某种不影响呈现的方式在页面中“洗牌”HTML。我一时想不出一个好的例子，但我确信它在某种程度上是可行的。
