Abstract

Recently, online-game industry has been rapidly expanding in these days. But, the various game service victimized cases are generated by the bots program. Particularly, the abnormal collection of the game money and item loses the inherent fun of a game. It reaches ultimately the definite bad effect to the game life cycle. In this paper, we propose a Bots detection method by observing the playing patterns of game characters with game log data. It analyzed behaviors of human players as well as bots and identified features to build the model to differentiate bots from human players. In an experiment, by using the served online-game, the model of a user and bots were generated was distinguished. And the reasonable result was confirmed.

최근 온라인 게임 산업이 급속도로 확장되었다. 하지만, 온라인 게임에서 봇 프로그램으로 인하여 다양한 게임 서비스 피해사례가 발생하고 있다. 특히, 게임 머니 및 아이템의 비정상적인 수집은 게임이 가지는 본연의 재미를 잃어버리게 하고, 궁극적으로 게임의 생명주기에 결정적으로 악영향을 미치게 된다. 본 논문은 게임 로그 데이터의 플레이 패턴을 이용한 봇 탐지 방법을 제안한다. 인간 플레이어로부터 봇과 차별화된 모델을 만들기 위해 인간 플레이어의 행동뿐만 아니라 봇 데이터도 분석에 활용한다. 실험에서는 서비스 중인 온라인 게임을 이용하여 사용자와 봇의 모델을 생성하고 유효한 결과를 확인하였다.
