all,
I was browsing through my visitor list the other day and I ran across a robot that scanned all of my pages (about 100 total) in about 2 minutes. It was located in Washington DC and the remote host was CYSurvelience.
Obviously some type of government monitoring, but I was wondering what it was looking for. Maybe indicators of fraud? Much like a computer program scans through resumes to look for keywords? It didn't spend much time on each page...something like 8 seconds.
I was also wondering if these bots can only sift through the information on the client side. Is there anyway they could look at the information and scripts on the server side of things? I would more or less think that would be invasion privacy...
Any thoughts on this?
