Bots; they can be both helpful assistants and harmful pests, and you’ll find them all over the internet targeting most public facing applications in some way or another. But what actually are they?
To explore the bad bots on the Internet, Robby is joined by someone that has spent the last seven years studying them, Dan Woods, Global Head of Intelligence, F5.
They talk about why Dan became fascinated by bots, real-life examples of how bots are being used, and what separates the sophisticated bots from the rest.
They also discuss if we are underestimating the sophistication and the motivation of the organisations behind these automations, how botnets and human click farms work, and whether Elon Musk will be able to solve his bot problem on Twitter.
