same old same old YisouSpider

Yisou back from the dead?

I thought this was a brand-new spider. Turns out it's so old I've never met it before; Forums search turns up a fistful of posts, none with numbers above three or four digits. Back around 2005 everyone seemed to be flagging it as a new Chinese search engine.

Here they are snuffling around my test site.

110.75.172.109 - - [24/Apr/2013:12:39:58 -0700] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 301 557 "-" "YisouSpider" 
110.75.172.109 - - [24/Apr/2013:12:39:59 -0700] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 910 "-" "YisouSpider" 

Apparently they're a tentacle of Yahoo! Slurp; the IP bears this out.

As long as I was there, I mopped up all the Chinese /15 and /16 within the 110 sector. I don't go below /14 unless something draws my attention to the range. Robotic activity definitely qualifies.

No, I don't know why I don't have a global block on UAs containing the element "spider". But I'm sure there's a reason.

I hadn't listed that, either. :( Thanks.

:: bump ::

Met it again at
42.156.139.110
There's a snippet of Malaysia nearby at
42.156.32.0/22
but everything else is China as far as the eye can see, so I went ahead and blocked as
42.156.0.0/14

42.120.0.0 - 42.121.255.255
