The data has also ended up on other of the competing job boards who have stolen the content. It is such a problem that has plagued any of those Web sites whose intellectual property should be publicly posted for free, or even the ones with subscription models. But one Atlanta based security company which specializes in the detection of bots has now developed software which can detect the screen scraping and also the data mining bots. HumanPresent, which is Pramana's main product, has detected the automated bots that, for instance, enter the spam to the Web based forms or also register for the free e-mail accounts which are to be used for the spam.

Pramana has also developed one module which is called the data mining and the screen scraping prevention for the HumanPresent. It also works on many of such same principles like its main product but had been modified for the data mining scenarios as said by David Crowder who is Pramana's CEO.

HumanPresent can detect these bots by noticing differences in such ways that a human would normally be interacting with one Web page and also contrasting that with the thing that how bots behave. It checks more than 30 metrics, like the keyboard strokes, clicks of the mouse and also the timing of these actions.
