DoSL7 Proactive Bot Defense (Block requests from suspicious browsers) detects selenium when the selenium server is running and a listener has opened on one of specific ports.
If a bot is running selenium client package only it is not being blocked by DoSL7 Proactive Bot Defense mechanism.
This occurs when ASM is provisioned with proactive bot defense enabled, when accessing the page for a first time.
