6. Lazy Bot Developer Vectors (V13.0)

Color Depth Mismatch

Detection approach

Color depth consistency check failed. The claimed screen colorDepth or pixelDepth does not match the WebGL bit depth, indicating that different subsystems are being spoofed independently by automation frameworks that didn't coordinate.

How this helps detect bots

This signal is assessed with other independent session, browser, and network evidence. A single anomaly is a lead, not a verdict; corroborating anomalies make automated traffic more likely.

Legitimate traffic to consider

Legitimate users with extremely unusual or customized display monitors, or virtual machines where WebGL and display color depths are mismatched.
