name: Web Fraud - Anomalous User Clickspeed

description: This search is used to examine web sessions to identify those where the
clicks are occurring too quickly for a human or are occurring with a near-perfect
cadence (high periodicity or low standard deviation), resembling a script driven
session.
how_to_implement: Start with a dataset that allows you to see clickstream data for
each user click on the website. That data must have a time stamp and must contain
a reference to the session identifier being used by the website. This ties the clicks
together into clickstreams. This value is usually found in the http cookie. With
a bit of tuning, a version of this search could be used in high-volume scenarios,
such as scraping, crawling, application DDOS, credit-card testing, account takeover,
etc. Common data sources used for this detection are customized Apache logs, customized
IIS, and Splunk Stream.

known_false_positives: As is common with many fraud-related searches, we are usually
looking to attribute risk or synthesize relevant context with loosly written detections
that simply detect anamoluous behavior.
