Click Fraud Detection and Prevention System For Ad Networks
Resumo
Click fraud detection consists of identifying the intention behind the clicks a system receives. A system that detects and prevents this type of fraud is proposed and implemented, based on the ad network, one of the 3 agents in the online ad environment. To validate, 3 servers were used, representing said agents. A bot simulates an attacker, and the frauds are ultimately identified by our proposed detector in tested scenarios.
