Spammer UA

I've blocked this UA...

DoCoMo/2.0 P900i(c100;TB;W24H11)

IP was listed in several spam lists. Not sure what the useragent is but I don't like it!

The P900i is a sony-ericsson smartphone.

... and DoCoMo [nttdocomo.co.jp] describe themselves as "Japan's premier mobile communications company".

So it's probably their WAP or Web Proxy

;)

I've had a lot of this one recently on a couple of sites that wouldn't be good for mobile phone browsing (lots of 300px wide photos). Just one site and I wouldn't worry, but 2 sites and a whole load of requests makes me suspicious.

Exactly the same user agent as in the first post.

Edit> Mind you looks to be browsing like a human with a logical progression of URLs and time enough to read the pages between requests. I've left this one.

I had the same one today. First, robots.txt and 10 sec later index page.

Unlikely to be an ordinary surfer, got banned.

I didn't do too much research, possibly would the cell phone borwser ip link back to the phone provider? Would that be a good way to determine if the IP/UA would be better to ban?

Had a similar case (Japanese mobile phone UA); if it was a genuine user, then that user had just spent the last 24 hours fetching ca. 1 page per minute. The IP resolved to some minor ISP in Japan, I'm not quite sure what was going on, but this is not normal behavior for a mobile user, even on a Japanese site, so I blocked the UA/IP range combination.

(FWIW Genuine Japanese mobile users seem mainly to come via the Google CHTML proxy).
