Cloudflare uses a variety of techniques to distinguish between legitimate users and bots. These include analyzing user behavior (e.g., mouse movements, click patterns), examining browser characteristics (e.g., user-agent, supported features), and detecting automated traffic patterns. Advanced bot detection systems often employ machine learning to identify and block malicious actors.
