A real winner

No doubt about this one's UA!

Made in Korea, and a good laugh!

218.145.63.164 - - [11/Jul/2002:11:37:05 -0400] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.0" 200 936 "-" "user-agent=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; DigExt)"

You know, I always wondered which part of the log record contained the UA! :)

I had this one:
62.98.8.49 - - [09/Jul/2002:21:12:10 +0000] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.0" 200 249 "-" "user-agent=Mozilla/3.01Gold"

Not from Korea but from Italy - but it has the same class.

HandwovenRug,

Hmmm... So it DOES fetch robots.txt, but it changes its UA, and is used from
multiple IPs... I think I'll have to keep an eye on this one. The last time
I looked at my logs, it had done only that one fetch. I wonder what they'll be
up to if they come back.

I got the first one last week from 218.145.63.82, and it fetched robots.txt as well as a page that is listed in the ODP. Could be just a link checker, but careful observation won't hurt.

>> "user-agent=Mozilla/3.01Gold"

This could be a misconfigured Junkbuster proxie. JB strips the Referrer and changes the User Agent to "Mozilla/3.01Gold" by default. I think you can change it to say anything you want, though I've never tried it myself.

BTW, this is my first post. Hi all. :) I'm a big fan of Junkbuster and thought I'd pass this info along.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

Thanks for the info on JB.
