Security and cryptography
Non-LLM vulnerability scanning, a self-playing cyber range, encrypted-at-rest stores, and licensing backed by proof-of-work.
HumanIO
Human-like mouse and keystrokes, plus the detector.
Live Input simulation and bot detection
HumanIO generates behaviourally realistic human input data for mouse and keyboard, and ships the matching detectors that score any input stream as human or bot.
What it does
Generation is grounded in motor-control and keystroke-dynamics research: curving cursor paths with corrective submovements, keystroke streams with genuine inter-key timing variance and typo-and-repair patterns.
The detectors are the other half of the same model. A MovementDetector and BotClassifier score a stream and explain the score, which is what makes the pair useful for building and testing anti-automation defences rather than just defeating them.
Who it is for
Teams building or testing bot detection, accessibility tooling, and automated UI testing that must behave like a person.

Terminology
Words this page uses in a specific sense.
- Keystroke dynamics
- The timing signature of typing — dwell time on a key and flight time between keys — which differs measurably between people and machines.
- Submovement
- The small corrective adjustments a human hand makes approaching a target, described by Fitts-law motor-control models. Naive automation moves in straight lines at constant velocity and has none.

How it compares
HumanIO vs CAPTCHA
Two ways to tell a person from a script. One interrupts the person; one watches the input.
