Static Touch Pressure

Detection approach

Despite claiming to be on a mobile device, the 'touch' events registered exactly 0.0 pressure, and the radius of the touch was perfectly static across every swipe. Biological fingers squish, roll, and vary in surface area. These touch events were programmatically injected by an automation script, not a human hand.

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

Users on older touchscreen computers or mobile devices that do not support pressure metrics.
