Anybody seen this bot from Broadlook.com

[Mungo]

Just had this bot come through a couple of my sites taking hundreds of pages within a couple of seconds and falling into my bot trap.

Did a search on this site for info, but couldn't find any.

The UA was logged as: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) coming from Broadlook.com

The IP address was logged as: 69.X.X97.227

Seems to be an email harvester that you can buy from Broadlook.com - this one's going on my ban list.

Anybody else seen this recently or have any other info?

It was here 02/10, single request, same user-agent string. I denied 69.0.128.0 - 69.0.255.255

Deepsixed the fsckers. From the way it hit a site here, it looks like it is a very poorly written scraper that does not show any respect for target websites. Rather than using a single browser approach (page at a time), the 'software' seems to try to download every page simultaneously.

It is basically a prospects/e-mail harvester program that generates business prospects lists. It is a waste of bandwith as far as I am concerned.
