Bytedance / bytespider IP addresses

here are a few of them

[SumGuy]

I'm apparently IP-blocking some or all of 110.249/16 (China Unicom Hebei province network) - I noticed today some port-80 dropped packets from:

bytespider-110-249-X-Y.crawl.bytedance.com

where X is either 201 or 202.

Looking back at the logs, I see similar attempts on a couple of days each back last july and december, then one day in January and now today. Perhaps a pattern emerging of once a month now, 12 attempts before it gives up.

For anyone looking for bytedance / bytespider IP's, the 2 most recent being

110.249.201.92
110.249.202.158

12 different IP's in total so far.

Maybe not a scraper but an app from China?

[bytedance.com...]

Probably useless if Asia's not a targeted region but maybe not malicious either?
