Abstract
We present ongoing work about how the use of diverse tools may help with detecting malicious web scraping behavior. We use a real dataset of Apache HTTP Access logs for an e-commerce application provided by Amadeus, a large multinational IT provider for the global travel and tourism industry. Two tools have been used to detect scraping activities based on the HTTP requests: a commercial tool, and an in-house tool called Arcane. Preliminary results suggest there is considerable diversity in alerting behavior of these tools.
