Yes, you have to come up with some rules, but it could be implemented in a manner that collects all anomalies and analyses that data. And as Greg says, it depends on the context.

What you might consider to be fraudulent for one user you might let another user get away with (within limits).

Re: Fraud detection system

Hello,
i m avare about this project ans we havé starter its implémentation in our
applications.
However, it s not like intelligent system which analisis behaviors. It
requires some programmation each time we would like to detect new patterns
and scenarion? Right? Am i wrong?

However, the idea of the project is very good ;)

If your application can assess a user's behaviour, it could also make
decisions on business-rules concerning attempted fraud, or signal
information that might be of use to external fraud analysis engines which
often do not know the context of a suspicious event.

I contribute some effort to OWASP's AppSensor project, which provides some
ideas along these lines:
