egothor/3.0a a new bot?

[sonik]

egothor/3.0a (+http://www.xdefine.org/robot.html) Hit 435 pages of mine in about 50 mins just now. It first checked robots.txt and stopped after I sent it one 403 error. It also got a few pages from another domain on the 2nd.

Can't find any info on it, url not working, the domain isn't even registered. Looks like the IP is assigned to Forward Network Communications/ANET out of Chicago, USA.

Edit: I guess there is www.xdefine.com, not much is working though. I don't even see form tags around the input field and submit button.

If you visit the IP directly you get the page:

>>www.xdefine.org

It seems they forgot their own domain name (xdefine.com) ;)

Interestingly, the info on that page seems to be copied (badly) from www.egothor.org/robot.html (egothor is an open source bot) which raises a few questions...
