Is RiverglassScanner it's full UA?
For a well behaved bot I would expect a URL in the UA that has the address of a page explaining the purpose of the bot.

Just another analytics data miner/web monitor/whatever. Have yet to see the "RiverglassScanner" UA but I'm not surprised it's reinvented itself again...

FWIW:

1.) "rg34.riverglassinc.com" gets around, and with at least eight UAs... [projecthoneypot.org...] Interestingly, loads of the "IPs In The Neighborhood" are cazoodle.com's, also connected to/hosted by the Univ. of Illinois. [projecthoneypot.org...]

2.) Your tax dollars at work supporting the Univ. of Illinois campus connection vi-a-vis:
