  1. 2026-08-21 / HACKER NEWSSomeone Applied Burstiness and Memory Coefficients to Scroll Events to Fingerprint AI Crawlers, and Admits ClaudeBot Defeats ItThe niki.cat post from August 20, at 41 points and 16 comments, borrows the burstiness (B) and memory (M) coefficients from complex-systems research and applies them to inter-event times of JavaScript scroll events, using the FP-Agent 'Fingerprinting AI Browsing Agents' dataset. Human scrolling is bursty and correlated; crafted requests are uniform, and the distributions separate visibly. The author is honest about the ceiling: headless-browser agents like ClaudeBot can reproduce human-like timing and beat the method. No accuracy or false-positive rates are published, so treat it as a technique sketch rather than a deployable defense.
