Found this this morning:

204.92.59.235 - - [24/Sep/2002:13:00:08 -0600] "GET /pages/xxx/xxx/xxx/more5.html HTTP/1.1" 200 23678 "www.brandimensions.com/" "BDFetch"

Looks like it is looking for copyright and trademark infringement bot!

Forgot to note- it does look polite- it's first stop was robots.txt... and it did not request too much, only 3 pages... but that was all in 1 second....

Nice catch!

If they're smart, they'll start using innocuous user-agents like Cyveillance, otherwise they stick out like a sore thumb in a log file.
