My person guesses that cloud-robots try to uphold a most actual mirror in cases the original server isn't reachable, or simply to increase traffic...

May Nyom Moritz not fall into to much worry with it.

Yes, that is also what I would guess.

Just archiving information. For whatever purpose.

There are of course the "benign" and generally accepted robots of web search engines like Google and Bing. But they would usually not come in such large numbers, eating so much traffic. People would complain and give such search engines a bad reputation.

There is also some kind of protocol which such "official" robots would follow, telling them where they are allowed to look and where not (robots.txt , currently nothing like that configured for sangham.net, and something I had never really learnt about, so am reading about it now). Not sure if these kinds of robots here would do that. But probably useful to know about anyway.

For now, I have been logging requests for about 10 minutes, to see if I can find any patterns useful for guessing what might be a bot and who not.

May Nyom Moritz not fall into to much worry with it.
Not much worry here. But having a free day today, I have some time to investigate. It surely seems like a problem that one should know how to deal with on the long run.

Sadhu (robots of offical search engines are given access to login in an admin setting, just for info, but guessing that this kind doesn't fall into that category).

Some common characteristics of apparent blind data-collecting robots:

IP address starting with 159.138
HTTP headers:
HTTP_REFERER:  (none)
HTTP_ORIGIN:  (none)
HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE: "zh-CN,zh;q=0.9"
HTTP_USER_AGENT: many different possibilities (probably all "faked"), but apparently always containing "AppleWebKit"

not using cookies


It seems to me that blocking by IP would be actually most reasonable. Maybe for some days or weeks at least, hoping that the robots would then not return for a while.
Searching around on the internet, others have reported the same problem since a few months about similar IP ranges.

It seems to me that requiring log-in for the whole forum does not have much lasting effect. They could probably not read and understand that login is required, and that every URL they try simply shows this same message and information.
As long as there is anything to see, and even small changes maybe (like content of the recent topics and shoutbox), it is probably "interesting" enough to try and collect data.

The bots are visiting many URLs which could not be accessed through any links for non-logged in people at the moment. So they rely on some memory of pages they visited before, or links they collected before.
There are thousands of possible URLs in the forum. So they could keep themselves busy with that for a very long time.

I think maybe only a "404 - not found" or "405 - gone" answer, if repeated long enough to them, could make them "forget" and let go of this site for maybe a longer while.
It looks like they are keeping a "slow" pace, in order to be not completely disruptive. Probably they would want to check every URL at least a few times over some longer period, until they would accept that it is useless to come back to.

So my approach would be now to just collect IP addresses (so far, all starting with 159.138) for a while and check if they all match the pattern of "probable bot". And then block all those IPs that seem to be confirmed as bots, for at least a week or two. Maybe better even a month.

Of course not totally sure how far exactly the IP range of bots goes. And such IP ranges could be re-assigned one day. But for now, it seems, they all come from some IP range currently (and probably for a longer time) belonging to "Huawei Cloud Services", i.e. some cluster of servers that anyone could rent, not belonging to any normal "consumer" internet connection of some smart phone, or laptop or desktop computer etc.

Tempory banner which wouldn't deprive from existence or close up doors for birth might be possible with proper mind attitude. Mind: metta based on right view, Sila without any intention to take existance or harm and hurt.

Maybe not to long.

There is an mod by the young programmer of smf which makes such when a ceratin IP makes to much touches is certain time. Similar could be maybe made but with a range and a remove of banner, say 1 or 2 days again.

Currently Asian developers might try to learn what is possible of what western made over longer time more carefully. As shown, the first try was from China using manpower, now from open kept Hong kong. They now try and surely success in much shorter time, to build up an empire like God Google.

Anyway, one should be clear:

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa

009.04. Bhikkhus, the highwaymen endowed with eight things does not do it long, ends up quickly. What eight?

Attacks those who should not be attacked, takes away without leaving anything, kills women, defiles maidens, plunders the gone forth, plunders the royal treasury, steals in the vicinity and does not have a saving Bhikkhus, the highwaymen endowed with these eight things does not do it long, ends up quickly.

Quote from: translation of AN 8.84 by Sister Uppalavanna

Foolish thieves, skilled thieves, unskilled, Robin Hoods, a mother fighting for the family surviving... they are all still thieves.

Nobody understands how importand a Dhamma search engine, with given access to search, would be and prefer to use the means of thieves...

Banner, kill, depriving... for whom ever, is still akusala.

May Nyom act what is regarded as puñña kiriya vatthu and not a little outside even if feeling it might be rightouse. So in that mood, mudita

No bots (of the kind which came in large amounts) so far today, I think. (No blocking measures taken yet.)

So closing might have effects. Atma opens up another time to have a look on it.

Mudita with Nyoms trust into metta.

May he enjoy the fruits of giving freedom of fear by a mind of goodwill toward all being, and outer actions based on this aspect of right view.
