  16. My plugin blocks old and suspicious browsers (user agents). It also generates statistics. So far this month, 1038 out of 1134 browsers have been blocked (92%). 745 browsers visited my website for the first time this month. Of these, 719 (97%) were blocked! That really surprised me.

  20. 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 🏆

  22. 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.
