Detection approach
The cursor jumped across the screen in 0 milliseconds without crossing the space between (teleportation), or the mouse coordinates only landed on exact multiples of 5 pixels (grid snapping). Human hands dragging physical mice create messy, high-resolution data points; scripts calculate exact coordinates and teleport.
How this helps detect bots
Collect this signal alongside session context, request metadata, and other independent indicators. A single anomaly is a lead, not a verdict; corroborating anomalies make automated traffic more likely.
Legitimate traffic to consider
Assistive grid-based click tools, specialized mouse drivers, or eye-gaze selectors.
