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 🏆

The requests from residential and even mobile IPs, which I have been noticing at least for a year, might be explained by sketchy SDKs embedded in apps to form a botnet of at least 15 million IPs. These SDKs are embedding voluntarily by their developers, because they get a percentage of the proceeds. The resulting networks are sometimes called a peer-to-business (P2B) service.

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.

@J12t and that's only 2023! We didn't have ubiquitous AI bots in 2023. I'm feeling nostalgic already!

I wrote a short post about my experience Anthropic and their Claudebot AI here in Mastodon a week or two ago. I had reached out to their support email address and received an instant auto notice saying that they got my email and a human would reply soon. Well, it’s been a week or two and no reply. My advice to everyone is to block Claudebot. Seems pretty AI scammy, complete with empty promises.
