Anyone else notice this little critter attacking webhosting servers with no apparent valid reason to do so?
We noticed the IP: 198.143.129.170 filling up our logs on several cpanel servers and followed it to:
somecrappywebsomethingwebite – crawler dot com
The website indicates it is a bot and that you can easily block the bot using Robots.txt.
We did.
What we found is that does not give a care about robots.txt as it has not even attempted to query it at all.
Anyone else seen this? Seems pretty sketchy aside from filling up logs.
