Vagabondo / WiseGuys

[dstiles]

Has anyone seen bots from this SE lately? Is the SE even extant? Can't find it, anyway.

Is that the actual name of the robot? That is, does it contain the string “Vagabondo” and/or “WiseGuys”, case-insensitive? If so, I don’t think I have ever seen them. At least not since 2011 which is how far back my archived logs go.

It's got Vagabondo in the UA. I've had it in my OK list for decades, with two IP ranges. Just spent an hour refreshing bot IP lists and couldn't find Vagabondo. From memory, Netherlands.

Been there. Done that. Every now and then I check some name or other, and discover that the reason I haven't noticed suchandsuchbot lately isn't just that it is on my Ignore list; it simply hasn't been around at all. A couple years ago I even added a /pastbots page to the online version of At Home with the Robots because there got to be so many of them. There's a Where Are They Now? book just waiting to be written ;)

Did you look up the IPs and see who is currently using them?

[dstiles]

I did look at the IPs. No one special, no relevant rDNS. They're an XS4ALL range (/22 out of /14) - general business servers and Coosto (/23) - no idea what they are.
