Ninjakreborn Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 "Colonela WebSecure2791" was crawling the site of a friend of mine yesterday. Google come's up with nothing. Does anyone know what this is, it showed up in the access log's. Is it a bot, or a crawler if so why isn't there some information atleast about it on google.

Ninjakreborn Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 Yes, in this situation the reassuring thing to me is I NEVER look at my access logs. Now it's got me wondering what visits ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Are the logs reflecting suspicious activity? If not, I'd suggest that you just let it go as a curiosity, it's probably not going to hurt you, and it's probably going to just be wasting your time. I get some really weird entries in my access logs; nothing suspicious, but I don't have any links to my server on the web anywhere, so any unsolicited activity is strange. If I were to track them all down, I'd be spending at least an hour every day following them up and making sure they weren't harmful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Does it honor a robots.txt file? That might be a clue to whether it is malicious or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjakreborn Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 I found out what it was, after some digging it's a device that a user can use on there computer. It hides your information, and uses (random generated word from a random language) (name of the company) (random lettering afterwards) and it re-auto-generates that every time to keep hiding where the host is from, it took me 4 hours to piece that together that day just out of curiosity.
