You could probably do something by getting into the weeds of browser updates, at least for web traffic. Like, if they're showing themselves as an older version of chrome send a badly formatted cookie to crash it? Redirect to /%%30%30?
Yes, there I heard there is some javascript that various older versions of chrome/firefox don't properly execute for example. So you can use that to determine which version they are (as long as nobody shares that javascript with the public. So this might even not be javascript, I honestly know nothing about it just heard it).
