Systema Machinae

A living census of the web's bots. First edition.
Nobody invited the bots. They arrive at Port 443, where they’re supposed to queue at Passport Control. Some don’t. The robots.txt buoy at the harbour mouth states the rules. The island shows which bots read them and which don’t obey. You watch from the promenade. Every creature is a real bot visiting this website.

Buttonus pressus

Presses every button to see what it does.

A joke about the drawing. It plays on the name and says nothing about how the bot behaves.

How to read this page

This is the record of one kind of bot and what it did on the island.

The tags under its name are its stamp, for how it treated robots.txt, and its alignment. The clipboard icon beside the name holds its totals.

What it did here counts its visits and what it asked for. Who it is says who runs it.

Reference, at the bottom, shows the user agent it sends and how to address it in robots.txt.

Who it is

What it is
A session whose first request asks for a management panel: /admin, /actuator, /server-status or /owa.
Order
Fures, the burglars
Kind

Nobody has said
Real one, as its operator says
Nothing to verify: it names no operator.
Passport Control
Not checked. Anyone can run it and it names no operator, so there is no claim to test. 3 sessions filed as undeclared in the last 30 days.

Reference

User agent, and how a request is filed under this species

It has no product name of its own, so nothing is matched on.

How to address this bot in robots.txt

It has no product name, so no group in robots.txt can address it.

Additional info

How it is counted

A landing
The first request of a session.
Bytes
The size of the response body, counted whatever the score.

Everything under What it did here is read from the request log, for today and the 29 days before it, by UTC date.

These are counts, not a verdict: a session is judged on what it did inside the 30 days.

What is not shown

Parts of the site come from a fixed list, and networks are shown by owner and country only: an address is never shown.

Who it is

What it is and who runs it, under Who it is, is a claim: the operator’s own account where it has published one, and a third party’s where it has not. This site has not tested it.

Alignment and the stamp

Insufficient data. A judgement needs at least 200 requests and 5 sessions in the trailing 30 days. This one would rest on all its sessions: 12 requests in 3 sessions over the trailing 30 days.

The stamp in the header, UNTESTED: Has neither read robots.txt nor asked for a path it disallows. It is counted over the same sessions as the score. How the score is worked out, and the count behind every input, is on the Census page.
