Embodiments are directed to monitoring network traffic over a network using one or more network monitoring computers. A monitoring engine may be instantiated to perform actions, including: monitoring network traffic to identify client requests provided by clients and server responses provided by servers in response to the client requests; determining request metrics associated with the client requests; and determining response metrics associated with the server responses. An analysis engine may be instantiated that performs actions, including: comparing the request metrics with the response metrics; determining atypical behavior associated with the clients based on the comparison such that the atypical behavior includes an absence of adaption by the clients to changes in the server responses; and providing alerts that may identify the clients be associated with the atypical behavior.
