Strange UA

[wilderness]

Just a heads up.
Note the cosecutive semi-colons.
The leading "3M of MSIE is the name of the CO/host?

192.28.2.zz - - [09/Nov/2007:15:32:23 -0600] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 403 - "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; 3M/IE 6.0;; 3M/MSIE 6.0;; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; InfoPath.1)"

Looks like a bad "custom-branded user-agent string installer" at this corporation.

But the question remains, did subsequent accesses follow a human-like or bot-like pattern? Could be an employee surfing your site, or could be a 'trademark enforcement scanner' from their legal-beagles.

I agree. Must be a custom branded UA. I change the UAs on our company browsers because we visit our own sites so much. Helps weed our employees out of our analytics.

edit - I do this because we have rolling IPs.

Hey Jim,
That was the solitary request from IP and UA.
No images.

BTW, I've grown accustomed to trademark psets, however not generally on my main pages.
