On the packet level ... hm that's pretty clever, definitely not trivial to fake, either.
Just that if your bot runs from, say, Windows 7 and it spoofs an IE8 user-agent header, or even runs by directly automating IE itself, how do you detect it then? Both of those scenarios are not unlikely at all.
