John would have utilized Cloudflare's Bot Management feature to identify and mitigate malicious bot traffic. He likely configured the system to detect and categorize different types of bots, distinguishing between good bots (like search engine crawlers) and potentially harmful ones. John might have set up custom rules to challenge or block suspicious bot activity based on behavior patterns. He could have implemented CAPTCHAs or JavaScript challenges for questionable requests. Additionally, John may have used the Bot Analytics dashboard to gain insights into bot traffic patterns and adjust the protection strategies accordingly. He might have also integrated Bot Management with other security features like the WAF and rate limiting for a comprehensive defense against automated threats. John leveraged Cloudflare's Bot Management by configuring bot detection and categorization, setting up custom rules for handling different bot types, implementing challenges for suspicious requests, and using analytics to refine protection strategies, creating a robust defense against malicious bot traffic.
