Tracking the Bots
I blogged about this yesterday, but I was just looking at the list again and he says that it’s useless to keep a list of all the bots that are floating around.
After doing a couple google searches trying to find out what some of these bots actually do, I realized how many people don’t have any restrictions on their log files and Awstats pages.
It would be fairly trivial to create yet another bot to scour google for logs and keep an up-to-date list of what bots are bouncing around and how rampant they are.
Anyway, would be an interesting excersize if someone has the time ![]()
