Do you know if they do it based to the browser string or some feature,
say - lack of encryption algo whizbang or XML 10.x ?

If it's the browser string - it's easy to fool them. Just get the
latest  version of Mozilla and use a browser string that matches IE.

This is exactly what IE did when they had to  start in a world dominated
by Mozilla :)
