- zap-db: we made a JSON based database written in typescript and running on node, especially suited to slack/discord bots and works great as a replacement to json blobs :)

You should consider avoiding sync FS operations however, such as in https://github.com/sdslabs/zap-db/blob/master/src/lib/session.ts . This is because of how the event loop in Node.js works: using async operations allows Node.js to work on another request while it waits for the operating system to read the file; if you use sync operations, however, it blocks the entire event loop so only one request at a time can be processed.

Download numbers on crates.io too high?
If the crates.io team wanted to go further they could employ some invasive methods to detect bots (usually it involves a JS library that does fingerprinting on the browser - something like BotD), but I'm not advocating for it. I don't think crates.io should collect more data, they should just perform better statistics on the data they already have.

Fraudulent card testing is going to financially ruin me
I can't help after the fact but Botd is a great tool to validate the client for an automated script: https://github.com/fingerprintjs/BotD

Bot traffic following activation of Google Ads?
Since this is direct traffic and unrelated to click fraud, it might make sense to give fingerprint a try.

Help preventing and stopping OTP attacks
Work on getting better at detecting and isolating synthetic traffic. Use a layered approach that combines fingerprinting (botd is a decent place to start) and ip address intelligence (i've had success using the ipinfo.io proxy/vpn detection solution).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing zap-db and BotD you can also consider the following projects:
Lowdb - Simple and fast JSON database
discord - RPM Package for discord
loki-gm - Basic fun little project to make a GroupMe bot called Loki
VBoxCloak - A PowerShell script that attempts to help malware analysts hide their Windows VirtualBox Windows VM's from malware that may be trying to evade analysis. Guaranteed to bring down your pafish ratings by at least a few points ;)
BotFramework-Composer - Dialog creation and management for Microsoft Bot Framework Applications
discord - 🎮 Soothing pastel theme for Discord
panamax - Mirror rustup and crates.io repositories, for offline Rust and cargo usage.
crates.io - The Rust package registry
