Bad Bot Problem

Following a report on the situation with Social Media and bots, Lewis Stuart of University of Nottingham is inspired to see just how easy it is to fire up his own botnet and puts them to work on a fake social media site: 'scroll hole.'

So, someone in the issue made me realize that some bots impersonate the user agents of big actors, such as Googlebot. I checked my webserver logs and found a lot of them actually!

I liked the challenge, so I just wrote an article about how to do this in less than 40 SLOC 🏆

Not a thing I really like to do, but I thought about it for more than a year while noticing a lot of aggressive bots in my server logs. Hopefully people are still reading blogs.
