According to the source:

" • SIMPLE Connecting from a single, ISP-assigned IP address, this type connects to sites using automated scripts, not browsers, and doesn’t self-report (masquerade) as being a browser.

• MODERATE Being more complex, this type uses “headless browser” software hat simulates browser technology—including the ability to execute JavaScript.

• ADVANCED Producing mouse movements and clicks that fool even sophisticated detection methods, these bad bots mimic human behavior and are the most evasive. They use browser automation software, or malware installed within real browsers, to connect to sites.

• ADVANCED PERSISTENT BOTS (APBs) APBs are a combination of moderate and sophisticated bad bots. They tend to cycle through random IP addresses, enter through anonymous proxies and peer-to-peer networks, and are able to change their user agents. They use a mix of technologies and methods to evade detection while maintaining persistence on target sites."
